Looks amazing and blue!! How did you restore the color? What products did you use?

Thank you!
I've been using this trick the last few weeks and liking how glossy it makes the leather. [I'm thinking I saw someone share in the rehab and rescue group]
I take a little Fiebings leather dye (in whatever color I need - sometimes I mix) and leathe conditioner. I mix them together to form a tinted conditioner and then apply liberally to the bag with a wool dauber. I'll let it sit for a few minutes until I see it sinking in, then buff like crazy with a cotton rag. I've done this on a red Regina (photo coming soon) a cream dyed burgundy/ oxblood Pocket Purse and then this navy pocket purse. No color transfer either!

Thanks! So you're not using any type of sealant on top?

So all that bleeker talk had me "browsing" ebay earlier today and lo and behold they made a little bleeker flap! And I found one in oxblood which made my heart sing...
It will be here this week. Along with ANOTHER pocket purse :angel:

Oh man, you found one in the wine color like mine?? You will love it! I love the Pocket Purses too, what color did you get?

Thanks for the info. I want to experiment with more Saphir products, but I will certainly file that tidbit away.

I wanted a precreed bag and hesitated on a black crescent bag because I really wanted to rein in the shopping. Next day, it was gone. I made an offer that I thought was on the low side of fair on what is either my coveted mocha or another tabac, expecting to get a counter and move on with an “I tried”....well I bought a precreed crescent after a very fast yes from the seller which makes me think it wasn’t such a low offer after all. Fingers crossed condition is as pictured and that its not tabac.
