I purchased two vintage vernis pieces and am going to attempt an at home dye process on both! I'm thinking navy on the wallet and diluting the same navy dye with alcohol to get a lighter blue for the key cles-or maybe the deep purple- ahh decisions!

I think I'm going to leave the inside cream but I don't know- If anyone is interested I'll update when I get everything!

Definitely share the finished product. I love these rehabs!

Lovelies, i need advice on these. These are the issues i have with my 3yo speedy 35 de. Do u think i should go to the shop and ask what can be done? If it will cost a lot to get the leather back into how it was, then perhaps i wont do it. But this thread by the zipper bothers me a bit
Cut the thread. The coating on your handles is peeling: you should definitely check in with the store. There are many reasons DE handles do that over time, and the only way to fix it is to replace the handles.

Ok guys so I am beyond excited! I just got pics from the lady who revamped a few items I got super inexpensive- I was going to do it myself but decided to go ahead a have a professional do it- her service cost was very fair too!

Hi there. I bought a mc blanc wallet at a great price but when I got it, it was much dirtier than the pics indicated. IMG_1490400069.574547.jpg

The photo doesn't show how dirty it is. I tried baby wipes but it didn't budge. Do you think leather cleaner will remove the dirt/colour transfer? It is driving me nuts!!

Thanks!

Found a mono speedy b 30 for $850. It had some spots in the vachetta and clean interior with "odor". The smell was like a chemical clean smell. Nothing a dryer sheet couldn't handle. The strap was spotless. Handles, chaps and vachetta on the sides had some dirt and spots. Just used some Lovin my bags and I'm very impressed. Now that it's so clean I feel like I got this bag for complete steal
