Yep. Use a high proportion of conditioner to colorant. I also use the puff paint to repair broken piping. You can smooth it with your fingers to make a smooth edge.

I used a Saphir brand product. Saphir was recommended by a poster here. Google the Hanger Project. That site gives a good overview of their products.
I had a black Plaza, bought on ebay that was slightly faded, uniformly, with the edges in very good condition. I used the Juvacuir Recolorant in their line. I did mix it with the better Cadillac conditioner. I was pleased with the result.
I also bought the Juvacuir in what I thought was dark brown (I need to go back and look at the order) because I do have a brown Ranch with faded edges. But the dark brown looks more like a coppery BT! So I mixed some with conditioner and applied to the faded/worn edges of a Compartment tote. It did not give full coverage of the wear. Tonight I will apply some straight, no conditioner, to see what that does. I do have a black Patricia with faded edges *in my pile* I want use it on well.
I know, I saw that too! IMO, Mercari is closest thing I have found to an online yard sale! Although my niece keeps telling me about Offer Up.
Latest vintage heart throb:
Bixby Sling #9984 in British Tan from 1996. This is a small round drawstring bucket, about 10.25 tall x 6" diameter with a sling strap. The leather is beautiful, thick and supple, and the color is rich. Most of the other drawstrings I looked at seemed too large for me. This one is petite and I love it!
Also pictured below is my current British Tan family, showing from left to right: 1980s NYC Companion Bag, the Bixby, and a 2003 Ergo.

I was leaning towards tabac as well. I think the colour has faded - what do you think? Thank you for replying, Whateve!
I agree with whateve, it's probably tabac. Have you dunked and conditioned it? That might revive some of the color.
I have dunked and conditioned it - three times. It's something I have to live with now.
What conditioner did you use? Maybe you need something stronger.
