[@vr6535]

Wtf is Alvi talking about?? Guts?? If it’s so old why not sell it as a vintage piece and buy a black one, duh.

[@happyplace1209]

She never responds to any comments or questions so I’m going to answer a few as I’ve re-dyed many vintage Chanel bags. 1) Acétone to remove the old paint/dye. 2) Condition the leather and let sink in at least 24 hours. 3) Apply Angelus black leather dye (not paint). She SAYS die in her video but description says paint. DO NOT USE PAINT. Paint will flake and crack and chip off. Use good quality die like Angelus or Feibings Pro Dye. Only use paint if you’re going lighter because you can’t dye a lighter shade. Allow each coat to dry (2-3 coats). Allow to dry AT LEAST 24 hours then buff off until no color transfer. 4) Finish with a high quality leather finisher top coat depending on shine you want. Angelus and Feibings sell good ones. 5) Condition again and enjoy!

Thank you so much!

[@ChefVCakes]

Is it acetone like nail polish acetone?

[@happyplace1209]

Chef V. Cakes yes pure acetone

[@urbanchili]

It was told the exact thing 25 years ago by a real shoemaker who handmade shoes. I had a pair of boots I wanted black. Took a long time, but came out really nice.

[@pollygentry835]

Thank you so much for giving better instructions. I have a creme chanel bag that I'd like to keep creme if possible. Do you think I can remove the old dye and redye it in creme again? Any suggestions on removing the hardware?

I don't own a Chanel bag but knowing the cost of it (including the people who made it, the time and the price), it pains me to see the previous condition. You have a real talent and somehow the respect you have towards things shows in your videos. Watching your restoring satisfies me more than actually owning it!

[@Cowell_Travels]

Amazing work! Cant believe that was even the same bag! Keep us posted for more restoration projects 😊

Just stumbled upon this video-considering how old it is, the comment section is lively! That is definitely a genuine bag You did a great job!

[@RMacca]

As a person who doesn't feel the need to buy designer bags (although they are pretty) I think the people arguing about real and fake bags is hilarious. Very cool work you're doing here. I like trying all kinds of art/crafting work and this seems like something I'd be interested in trying myself on a cheaper leather bag.

[@nannibunni]

The nail polish remover was actually a German brand which I thought was weird..

[@j02261982j]

I am impressed!! Will this method work on the metallic Chanel? or can I simply paint over the metallic bag with the paint you used in here? Do you mind to share the paint you used? Thanks

[@jessreinhardt4408]

I believe that you would need to remove the metallic paint first, so that the dye can come into contact with and absorb into the leather. There should be some good tutorials online🙂 Edit: Hearing from other commenters that it might be Angelus leather paint.

[@akibiyori]

I think that’s a fake Chanel bag. But if it was real, I’m disappointed that the original owner changed the colour. I would never do that to my own Chanel bag. Should have kept it beige. Amazing transformation though 🙂

[@oanadogaru2007]

Kumirax Beige bags are really hard to mentain because they can easily get dirty so maybe that’s why they changed the colour to black

[@markd918]

It’s normal for people who collect Chanel to have them dyed to make them unique

[@hannahelvete]

You have no evidence its fake. you're just being a dick.

[@BabySpicyPisces]

Florida Girl Beige is rare in this bag size

[@Jessa8891]

It was real leather so definitely not a fake. A lot of people get back second hand and they aren’t in great shape so they dye them. If don’t right like here in this video then it’s fine.

[@eltonlipanta6922]

how cool is that lainey i love it!

[@aleksandralis9134]

What kind of conditioner did you use?

[@fongbbb]

This is an amazing video! Can you share what tools you use for dyeing the bag? Does the color fade out after some time? Does the color transfer to the clothes with light color?

[@DayDesiree]

I guess she just keeps recoloring instead of getting a new bag 😭

[@DayDesiree]

Dj Ghoul TOUCH when did I say it was bad ? She’s had it recolored four times.... She likes recoloring the bag. It’s not that deep 😂

[@whatspoppin5358]

Dj Ghoul TOUCH bore off. God there’s always 1.

[@sofiahristoforova8501]

It is impressive but I don't get one thing.. If someone has the money to buy beige Chanel bag, why don't they just buy another one in black?

[@imfunbut2994]

Sofia Hristoforova they may save money for one but def not two

[@louiselauwers5478]

Also its an older model and with the price increases of Chanel, it’s possible they bought it at the time for like 1000-2000

[@DeN-nc7rx]

Maybe it has sentimental value or something

[@bethanymaccormick5654]

I think many people think it should be simple enough to dye a light colour to black, but clearly this went hella wrong lmao. Maybe they didn't care if they recieved it as a gift from their mother or something as it's an older style that wouldn't be the crazy prices we see now. Who knows, at least it looks great again now!

Im confused. After the renovation, is it still considered authentic?

[@thriftingqueen]

@Sophisticated lady MRS JUICEE BABY how much do you charge to do bags?

[@vintagecoachcollector]

YES it's still authentic but modified. Meaning Chanel will never repair down the road if a issue is to arises which is okay because there's companies out there that will repair.

[@mickey41991]

MD dykas it didn’t go bad it was dyed and they messed up

[@yairasevilla7456]

It was originally beige. But then it was semi-properly dyed red, and finally a new person bought it and tried dying it black but used the wrong type of paint for the material. She stripped off the paint all together and put in the appropriate dye for the material. It’s never going to last, paint/dye will never last forever. But it will take a lot of years, wear and tear, to even see it. It just needs to be taken care of properly.

What do you use to strip the paint? Just plain acetone? Any %? I own 100% and regular nail polish remover. Would that work? Just scored a cheap YSL but seller didn't mention it had been dyed. The edges were done horribly; way too thick and streaky and on a pebble leather bag so it's very noticeable. They got it all over the hardware and didn't even attempt to wipe it off xD luckily the hardware is minimally scratched and removing it was easy. Id like to strip the paints and re-dye. Amazing job
