Fiebing's Leather Dye in Black...wipe on and wipe off, then sealed it with SheerLac the next day.She looks great! How did you do it? I have a Alma from 97-98 (can't remember) and she has some color loss in the corners that I would like to fix. I would love to know what color you used
Magic Eraser is a miracle worker. I used it on both my keepall 45 and 50. It took the darkness off the stains. You might have a lighter stains but they won't be as noticeable as the current ones. Just be sure to use a conditioner afterwards like Cadillac Conditioner (I got mine at Nordstroms) or one of the other ones mentioned on this thread. If it's a great price, I say go for it! Keep us posted!!!
Thanks. The only reason im struggling is because im in the UK and i cant find a lot of the products people use on this thread here so im worried about getting a different brand but ill keep doing my research.
I'm in the UK and recently refurbished a deauville. I used the flash magic eraser, which I believe is the UK equivalent of the Mr Magic eraser. I did have to order the cadillac conditioner from eBay.
Yea the flash magic eraser is a decent price but I'll have to splash out a little on the conditioner. Thanks
Do you know if SheerLac will seal acrylic leather dye? I've used it on my red St. Jacques (it was damaged when I fell and broke my knee a month ago).
Also if you have a link to the SheerLac that would be great too, I'm not finding it anywhere on the web. Thank you, you brave girl of Epi Bag Renewal!
Do you have any tips on how i can prevent the pockets to become sticky? I have more than 80 bags so my lv bags will definitely have more time in the closet than outside. I want to avoid having sticky pockets problems in the future. Thanks.
Hey bagnutt
What products did you use to clean the vachetta? I've got a 24 year old Alma and I'm worried about using the wrong thing on such vintage leather.
If anyone else has got some recommendations on cleaning/conditioning products too I'd be grateful. I'm not completely sold on the magic eraser (or flash eraser as it's known here in the UK) because I've heard it really dulls the leather.
