DIY - How to Dye a Leather Bag featuring Balenciaga Pompon

[@dahonmendoza2375]

I finished the project I did with my G21 Day bag, it was an amazing and exciting experienced seeing the transformation that happened. I did not video my project but the end result is amazing. I followed every single pointers in your list and I used the Fiebing's Balm to seal the dye. No dye transfer at all, I also put my apple leather conditioner to finish it all. The leather remains soft and supple! Thanks!

[@amandarichard5197]

THIS IS A LIFESAVER!!! I bought a Givenchy Nightengale sight unseen and when it arrived it was a destroyed by water damage. This process left me with a brand new (looking) Givenchy, I could'nt be happier!!!!

[@AuthenblissityMain]

ahhh i'm so glad it worked out well!! :)

[@mamikohh]

Amanda Richard kindly show the image of your bag please? I also have a givenchy nightingale and there arent vids/pic about the finished dye of the bag.

[@amandarichard5197]

I will! I'll post when I get home today.

[@chantel9129]

Amanda Richard Beautiful! I found this video as I am looking to dye a Fendi bag black. How has the dye been holding up? Do you experience any color transfer from the dye? You have done and amazing job.

[@StyleDomination]

I cannot get over this video! I can't believe how well the dye process turned out. Your bag looks brand new! Wow - thanks so much for sharing!

[@AuthenblissityMain]

+Style Domination thanks so much!! i was surprised by how well it turned out. :)

[@LeeBertgess]

I came here to find out I do NOT need a half gallon of dye, and you made the job look easy! THANK YOU!

[@natgordon2736]

Did this recently with a marc Jacobs bag and so far I like the results

[@megankmcguire288]

Thank you so much for posting! I just did the first coat of dye on a clutch I found. Your tutorial was the most helpful on the Internet and really took the fear away.

[@harkirankaur9247]

Do you need both types of dye or can you use just the first one? I have a dark brown Versace bag I'd like to dye black, I am assuming since it's already dark it would not be difficult. I am mostly worried about protecting the fabric lining.

[@marciawelch1633]

Nice job when I’m dying bags I always use a lot news paper and cardboards for the base of the bag it just helps he structure so applying is easy

[@Shazzys100]

Your video tutorials are so very helpful. I've wanted to dye a leather bag of mine for some time now and am still somewhat hesitant to try this however, you have explained the process/steps so clearly that I'm thinking I may just take the plunge. tfs!

[@arnikalm]

What a nice tutorial! Thank you for putting it up. I am going to dye one of my older leather bags now. As far as the dye transferring on to your hands, there is a spritz on leather finish that I have used on my riding boots and leather saddles that gives a smooth feel and stops the conditioners and dyes from bleeding through. It might work on the handles for you. It is from a company called Leather Therapy. I've used their products for several years and have had good luck with them.

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thank you for the feedback and for the suggestion! i am going to look for the leather therapy spritz. good luck with your project... please let me know how it goes. :)

[@dahonmendoza2375]

Hi, is it the Leather Therapy Water repellant 8 fl. oz? I also found Leather Therapy finish leather conditioner treatment both of them are from Amazon. I dug in my home storage unit and found my old Balenciaga G21 Day bag and I'm planning to dye it with the same process you did. I hope it turned out s good as yours.

[@masonharding8672]

this is a fantastic tutorial. Thanks for posting. I've always been annoyed with the coppery color that you get from the fiebeng's. This seams like a perfect process with the Terrago. I'm gonna try this on a white jacket I have on the way.

[@AuthenblissityMain]

+Mason Harding thank you very much! good luck with your jacket! :)

[@LaurieSobo]

I just wanted to thank you for your beautifully done video, it's perfect! This is the BEST video on KZbin, so clear, concise & beautifully spoken. You gave me the confidence to dye a bag that I really want to be black, it's currently a chalk color. Thank you! 🙂

[@carolcramerdesign]

Thanks! Just dyed my red and pink leather fossil bag to medium brown with these exact instructions! Was nervous after the Fiebings (looked a little burgundy and mottled) but the Torrago coat smoothed everything out!Thanks again!! Now hoping the dye doesn't come off on me or my clothes!

[@AuthenblissityMain]

i'm so glad it worked out!! i'm still careful with mine and typically only wear it with dark clothing - please let me know how it goes with yours!

[@estherkim6895]

I wish I had seen this video before attempting to dye my old Ferragamo bag black a couple years ago. No matter how many Fiebings coat I would layer on, it would still have an unflattering brownish hue and was never a true black. After awhile I decided i disliked the color, completely regretted ever trying to dye it in the first place as I preferred the old color over the new and so I tossed it. :( I am however consider dying my beloved taupe Proenza Schouler PS11 to black (more versatile) and I'm going to use the steps provided in this video. Hopefully it'll bring it back to life and make it look new like it did with your Balenciaga. Thanks for posting this! :)

[@AuthenblissityMain]

+Esther Kim yes i was surprised when the fiebings dye dried and had that strange metallic sheen to it... i was worried it would look like that when i was done but thankfully the tarrago was jet black. good luck with your PS11!!

[@tarachandler6603]

I just dyed my white Lambskin Chloe Tekla BLACK and this video was my guide. Ty so much for posting it gave me the confidence to JUST DO IT :)

[@AuthenblissityMain]

i'm so happy to hear this video gave you the confidence for your DIY!!! i hope you love your "new" bag. :)

[@audrinanicole4285]

I'm so excited I just purchased a pre-loved Balenciaga city bag and I'm planning on dying it black bag looks so amazing it really inspired me to go and find one this morning and I found one for an amazing price it just had a lot of color transfer which won't matter once a dye it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@audrinanicole4285]

Do you have one question did you receive any transfer when using the bag normally since you've had it for a while now

[@AuthenblissityMain]

i haven't had any transfer except on my hands from the handles. no issues with the strap being on my shoulder though so maybe the leather is different/more absorbent on the handles. i don't wear the bag with light colours though, just in case... but i do store it in a white dust bag with no issues.

[@annemarietaube6335]

Thanks for the informative video, hanging with book inside is good idea. I do think it's important to let 1st coat to dry completely, to avoid sticky surface. Great idea on hardware, thank you. I like that u left the accessories undyed, looks great!

[@AuthenblissityMain]

@antoine gabrielle - i used the small brush near the fabric/zippers but since the fabric on my bag was black, i didn't have to be too careful. for any other colour fabric, i would have bought a smaller stiffer brush to tackle those areas.

[@jamischlafer7804]

i realize this video is old, but the instructions are great! i used this on an old citron yellow ps1 and while it was hard work, the bag looks great. i had some color transfer after getting caught briefly in a light rain, but i honestly think it was due to the black leather conditioner i used after the last dye coat. i went over the bag with a old white cotton t-shirt to lift that color, refinished it and then used leather conditioning oil to treat the leather again. there was no transfer after this step. thanks for this tutorial!

[@tawsimkhan8164]

How to black colour change to red colour?

[@tinas1642]

What a great idea and you did a good job at both the actual process and explaining it!

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thank you so much for your kind words!! :)

[@brianheney8063]

amazing detail you have brought to the subject thank you.

[@SASSY13169]

Thank you for your video. I made the biggest mistake purchasing a cream Balenciaga Town & now it looks dreadful. It's my first balenciaga and I don't want to get rid of it either. This really helps :)

[@scottspurlock626]

I did a leather jacket like this and it turned out great. Thank you so much for the great tutorial.

[@pamelamullaneda4889]

I JUST A DARK MUSTARD COACH BAG I LOVE IT BCAUSE I WAS LOOKING FOR A BAG WITH LOTS OF COMPARTMENT BUT THEN THE BAG NOW NEEDS CLEANING AND PROBABLY REDYE IT IS THE DYE YOU USED BE HELPFUL TO MY BAG TOO

[@daigacvetkova8651]

Hi, you are right ...!!! you must use tarrago for final coat...!!!!....i just done it and the result was so good...my leather bag like the same condition when i was purchasing ...honestly i was first following one other video where just using Fiebings...and yes even i after used leather softener and protector...that coopery shine didnt went away....so i bought Terrago black together with praparer.... ...before applying black i use praperer...and then black i coat....Thank you so much..!

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thank you!! i'm glad it worked out! :)

[@StarryEyedGlamour]

What an amazing transformation! The bag looks beautiful :-) Fantastic tutorial, I love how informative it was! XO

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thanks so much!! it feels like i have a new bag, which is great! :) xx

[@PebblesFlintstone67]

Wow, Lesley, great job on this project. That was quite the undertaking, but the results are beautiful. I would love to see a 6month follow up on how the bag held up with the dye job. You are very talented Bella! XxxMaria

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thanks so much, maria!! i love how it turned out... hopefully the dye job stands the test of time. i will provide an update after a few months of using it. :) xx

[@vazquezs420]

Yes you absolutely just inspired me.. Thank you! I just purchased a MK soft leather type at a local thrift store for$20 I like the bag itself rather go n get it redye at a shoe boot repair I wanna just dYI myself . I'm picky about them not caring to do the logo hardware area where it has leather . Time to go get my dyes . Good luck to me! :-)

[@AuthenblissityMain]

that's awesome! good luck indeed... please let me know how it turns out! :)

[@jenbo0]

Great tutorial and I'm glad the dye didn't transfer with your bag but I had a different experience and I just want to warn people to be careful. I followed these directions to dye a light blue Marc Jacobs Hillier bag black and the dye has been rubbing off on my clothes (after drying for 2 days and rubbing with paper towel to get excess dye off). I hope it won't rub off as much with each wear but I would not wear white or light color clothes with it. The dye also turned the silver toned metal a bronze color that won't come off with alcohol. I had to scrub it for hours with acetone to get the color out of the metal. I would recommend to avoid painting over the hardware! Other than the dye transfer, the bag looks really good. The dyes really penetrated the leather. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@AuthenblissityMain]

i'm sorry to hear about the colour transfer and the alcohol not working to take the dye off the hardware - thank you for sharing your experience. this is the only bag i've dyed so it's good to have other perspectives. your comment is very helpful.

[@linettebennett5594]

Your bag came out amazing. I brought my Miu Miu vintage bag to the leather shop for dieying and refinishing, and I hope it turns out as good as yours. I didn’t realize it could be done at home. Great job

[@rajjie100]

Hi, I followed your tutorial and my bag turned out great! Thank you!

[@denisemays3295]

Hello, I have dyed 4 pieces of Louis Vuitton Vernis Patent leather and they turned out beautiful. I'm good at it now so I will be dying 3 more pieces. Thanks for the tutorial

[@AuthenblissityMain]

+Denise Mays that is great to hear! i am going to dye a pair of boots soon. :)

[@denisemays3295]

I would love to see them when you are done :)

[@DS-ky9dl]

You did a fabulous job...It looks new! And you area great presenter.

[@Lissettofficial]

I got alcohol poisoning playing a drinking game every time you said “nooks and crannies”

[@AuthenblissityMain]

I'm so sorry! I still love to say "nooks and crannies." 🤣

[@estadejong9115]

You don't want to use a sponge with any small metallic fibres in it, nothing that can scratch the leather, work in round gentle rubs , not streaks or pushing as that can distort the leather grain , when dying you also want to go lightly working bit by bit in a steady tempo not just slopping it on vigorously as this can cause the dye to Poole in areas and create deeper stains, also working in more layers each time you don't have a huge slug of dye on it that can change the leather. :)

[@sandragalda]

Thank you and a question: How has this dye job held up after time passed? Has the dye worn off, faded, or transferred to clothing or skin? Thanks

[@matildegasparsilva6521]

also curious :)

[@matiascarmelo8365]

I guess im asking randomly but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me

[@aidenbryson3097]

@Matias Carmelo Instablaster =)

[@matiascarmelo8365]

@Aiden Bryson I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@matiascarmelo8365]

@Aiden Bryson it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my account :D

[@mikeb3808]

Thanks, I was wondering if leather dye could be taken off metal hardware with alcohol.

[@doggo00654]

Love the looks. I will recomend to add some leather care to make the bag last longer.

[@AuthenblissityMain]

+bagobeans not sure why i can't reply directly to your comment but thank you for your comments. i don't think you've previously asked me about dye transfer. if you had, i would have answered you as i have a few other people in the YT comments. anyway, if you had read the rest of the comments, you would have seen that after i got a chance to use my bag, i did reply to a few people re. the dye on the handles transferring to my hands when my hands were freshly lotioned. there has still been no colour transfer from the shoulder strap or onto my clothing - and i think the white dustbag would be a relatively good indication of potential colour transfer onto clothing items (especially seeing as how i had not used the bag enough to provide any other information at that point in time when the question was asked of me).

[@weenbaby]

Awesome! I bought a super cheap MK purse (for $15!) and I was just going to touch up the leather but it's bronze so I might actually dye it black. Can't wait!!

[@AuthenblissityMain]

+weenbaby yay! good luck with your DIY. :)

[@weenbaby]

+petitepearstyle thank you! I'm waiting on both the bag and the dye to come in the mail.

[@AuthenblissityMain]

@Carly Thomas - thank you very much for your comment! :)

[@texasbutterflyJohnson]

thank you i actually stained mine this week and it came out amazing

[@AuthenblissityMain]

+texasbutterfly1013 Johnson that's great to hear! i'm glad it worked out. :)

[@freedommascot]

You deserve real kuddos for producing such a wonderful, professionally done, video! With the kind of quality work that you put into that as well as your bag I think you could be trusted to do anything well. BTW, I don't recall you mentioning why you had to dye the bag with 2 different dyes. Would you explain? Thanks!

[@AuthenblissityMain]

+freedommascot thanks so much! the first dye is a penetrating dye, which sinks into the leather; however, it is not jet black but rather leaves a bit of a brownish/metallic hue to the bag. the 2nd dye is a self-shine dye, which sits on top of the leather. if you use this one by itself, i read that it could potentially flake off as it is not absorbed by the leather; however, it is jet black.

[@thewaytomyHart]

Thanks so much for this video. I went ahead and took your advice and dyed my balenciaga bag and it looks amazing! I'm sharing this video on my channel as well :)

[@AuthenblissityMain]

hooray!!! i'm so glad it turned out well! :)

[@channelchili429]

It looks amazing! Planning to change the color of my balenciaga wallet

[@AuthenblissityMain]

[@timtamtums]

Great video and awesome transformation! I think I will consider this because there are a couple bags I don't use due to staining. Very informative and the bag looks great! :)

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thanks so much!! i just did a blog post on this with more information (linked in the description box)... :) x

[@lynkekowlessar5825]

Girl you scared me with the globes with the dye on them .. my heart stopped .. I thought it was a scene in a horror movie.. lol.. but anyway I love it and thankyou for the video

[@AuthenblissityMain]

lol!! thanks so much! :)

[@ilaamin4908]

I just dyed my MK beige purse to black and it looks like new. Thankyou

[@MJKimball1]

Very, very thorough and helpful video. I am going to try this process on my expensive Tumi leather bag. Overall, its in good shape except for the edges where it came into contact with the airplane seats as I placed it under the seat in front of me. I wanted to know if you think I could just do the areas of my bag that show wear and tear instead of the entire bag. Again, thanks for this video - you are delight to watch!

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thank you very much for watching! you could try doing the specific areas of the bag but there might be a slight difference in the colour/shade or finish. depending on how noticeable the difference is though, you might be able to get away with it!

[@dizzyk54]

Excellent video! thanks for the links and all of the info! I now have the courage to try this! Your bag looks great! Vicki

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thank you very much! please let me know how your bag turns out. :)

[@Drinkcitra]

Wow this is great! Your bag turned out great! The process seemed like a lot of work, but fun too :D

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thank you, traci!! it was a long process but well worth the results! :) x

[@jdartdiva1]

Has any dye rubbed off onto your clothes over time?

[@Maikelsworld]

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thank you... please let me know how it goes!

[@Brittainy89]

Looks amazing! I didn't even know you could do this!

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thanks so much!! i don't know how i got it into my head to dye the bag... i've tried to dye a coat in the past and it turned out horrible (this was before the internet age). thank goodness for the purse forum and for bloggers!

[@elsaortiz7589]

Thanks for sharing. It came out beautiful.

[@antoinegabrielle1911]

Hello. how did you do with the fabric zones (near the zips?) many thanks.

[@melodymyzhang]

amazing job! it looks beautiful!

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thanks so much! :)

[@TheVinkinator]

wow good job! i would be terrified to dye a balenciaga bag xD

[@AuthenblissityMain]

it took me a long time to decide to dye it!! i was scared but encouraged by the tutorials and before/after pics. :) x

[@christineho2435]

What did you use after you dyed the purse to prevent any excess dye bleeding out?

[@AuthenblissityMain]

Hi Christine! I didn't use anything else - just what was shown in this video.

[@jiellaglaize6685]

thank you for this tutorial but im confused on how the hardware got cleaned?

[@jiellaglaize6685]

oh i see answered question already. :)

[@eileenfuentes6975]

Now we need a video of you dyeing those gloves 😁 lol, j/k. Great video. I just purchased a really nice leather handbag that somebody marked down super cheap because it is faded. I also have a white leather Michael Kors bag that is not white anymore and I've tried with no luck 2 refurbish it. I know there is a way to fix it I'm sure, but I just want to dye it black because I'm not a big fan of white bags only for the fact that they get dirty quick. They're pretty but not my thing. I'm excited for my bag to arrive and I will order this dye. I'm sure it will turn out as good as yours but if not I have nothing to lose since I don't use the white leather one that I was given by a friend a few years ago.

[@pepperswimwear8322]

Great tutorial! Wondering if anyone has found the dye to rub off on clothing and skin over time? (Specifically the strap.) I was warned about this, but not sure if it’s something to be concerned about or not?

[@handbaghaven9083]

Great video! Your bag looks stunning!

[@jessonemore3537]

This is a great tutorial. Thanks so much for posting!

[@IMOO1896]

Gorgeous result!

[@stylishandliterate]

It turned out so well Lesley! Amazing job. I want to do this to a Chanel bag, but I'm slightly terrified lol. Although it's not like I've been using it since I stained it, so I don't think I can make it worse. I'll have to research it some more but you've inspired me haha :) x

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thanks, aleeza! i know exactly what you mean - i went through the same thought process... i hadn't worn my pompon since january 2013 so i figured i had nothing to lose. let me know what you decide! :) x

[@artdhananjay]

Watched awesome and creative work..Beautiful

[@amiraabadir1758]

Hi the color came out metallic, Amy advice on getting rid of that metallic effect? Thank you 😊

[@juspus5729]

Wow, you did such a good job with dying it. I am thinking about buying a used Balenciaga bag in a color that I don't really like (because it's cheap) and then dye it black. But I was wondering if the leather dye makes the feel of the bag different? I mean, does it seem a little less smooshy and soft than before, or is it completely the same touch?

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thank you! :) my bag hadn't really gotten to the super smooshy stage yet but i found the texture didn't change much after dyeing it. i think the key is to do very thin layers of dye. only issue i've had with my bag is that the colour on the handles will sometimes transfer to my hands, especially if my hands are freshly lotioned.

[@teresakavanagh5759]

Thanks for your video, I'm definitely trying this!

[@myraramirez7384]

Love it! Thanks for the video! Looks like a pro job!

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thank you!

[@fezz569]

Great job and explanation!

[@Keybumpz]

did any of the dye rub off on any of your clothes? I wanna do this with an old dolce i have but i'm worried some of the dye would rub off on my clothes.

[@AuthenblissityMain]

+Brian Umpy i try not to wear this bag with light clothing so i am not sure if it would rub off. i do store it in its white dust bag though (sometimes with other things on top) and there has been no colour transfer... still i would be careful around light clothing just in case...

[@helen274]

What a great video! LOVE your bag. Thank you so much for sharing! :)

[@AuthenblissityMain]

+Helen Vogel thank you for watching! :)

[@misskorea7134]

looks great I like it better black.

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thank you!! i am happy i dyed it... black is much more wearable for me! :)

[@AuthenblissityMain]

@Dixie S - i haven't tried dyeing shoes but i imagine it should work similarly if you are dyeing leather boots. if you try googling it, you will likely find tutorials specific to boots - i'd definitely recommend doing that before embarking on your DIY... good luck!! :)

[@justusgeorge4080]

Hi what was the long term effect? Did the dye come off onto clothing? Thanks

[@eileenfuentes6975]

I want to try this on a Michael Kors purse that A friend gave me a few years ago. It's leather and it's the same color as your white bag but has a lot of discoloration that I don't want to mess with as far as attempting to restore the light color. It's been sitting in the back of my closet and I don't use it for the fact that I am not the best person to own anything white 😁. My question is when you do the top of the bag where there's a zipper, how to prevent the color from leaking into the lining? Besides the fact that I'll be careful by not over-saturating in that area, I want to try not to stain the tan inner lining. This will be a practice one though.. If this were to happen on the white leather MK bag I want to try this on, it wouldn't matter to me if the inside got stained from the dye since it's an old purse anyways. I'm asking in case I come across a light-colored bag in the future where I don't want to mess up the lighter inner lining. I'm sure I could purchase some fabric dye if that were to happen though. You are a great KZbinr and this is the best video. You are saving the lives of many leather bags LOL all leather bags deserve a second chance, right?

[@AuthenblissityMain]

Thank you so much!! :) My bag had a black lining so I didn't have to be too careful with the dye getting on the lining. I'm not sure how to prevent it from happening other than being careful. Perhaps you can use a smaller brush in that area and take more time with the edges. There may also be some sort of fabric protector you can use, but unfortunately I don't have experience in this. When I was dyeing my bag, I used PurseForum and blogs as resources, so perhaps there is some information there? Good luck and please let me know how it goes!

[@maddieevans3767]

Very helpful thank you!! I will give it a go on my Balenciaga town :-)

[@susankam5412]

May i know what happen to dye stained on zipper? Easy to remove?

[@lauragill5422]

This is so helpful! I just thought of dying my turquoise blue Balenciaga because I wish I had gotten it in black and I found your video! Yay! How is yours holding up has it transferred or come off at all?

[@AuthenblissityMain]

The bag itself has held up really well! I don't use it that often but there's been no colour transfer or fading. I do use the strap (on other bags) regularly and there's been some fading there. You can see a bit of the green at the stitching but I haven't noticed any colour transfer onto clothing or anything like that. I hope this helps!

[@symasherratt5486]

Need help getting the correct Tarragon color dye kit. Tried amazon but your suggestion wouldn’t come up. Please help

[@AuthenblissityMain]

@nat gordon - that's good to hear!

[@joelyferris4887]

Incredible video! I can’t find a product list… did you use any other products to condition at the end or as maintenance? Thank you!! ❤

[@AuthenblissityMain]

Thank you so much! I didn't use any products to condition at the end or for maintenance, only used the products listed in the description box. :)

[@JESSICA90484]

I did this and bought color stop but I still get stains all over my jeans and clothing. It's been over a week.

[@ZombieDenial]

What about the nooks and crannies, though?

[@jademanalac]

Awesome job you've done there! It really look like brand new. One question though, do you apply leather conditioner after dying it?

[@AuthenblissityMain]

thank you! i didn't apply any leather conditioner. :)

[@d.s.mellen4241]

Very helpful - thanks for posting!

[@saturday4sansan]

Really really helpful video! thanks for taking the time to do this DIY! I'm just wondering how your dyed bag has been holding up? any suggestions on how you would do it differently ? Looking to dye my dark green leather bag black as well :D

[@805511]

+Sansan Win Would be great to see how has the dyed bag been holding up ? did the color runs ?

[@AuthenblissityMain]

+Sansan Win thanks so much! the dye job has been holding up well... i included a link to a short OOTD/update video in the description box. there is nothing i would do differently with the dye job... i recently used the same process to dye some leather cowboy boots (link also in the description box) and it worked great!

[@saturday4sansan]

oh nice! thanks for getting back to me:) feeling confident to go ahead with my dye job now:))

[@werdnaeunice]

You've done a great job babe! I wanna dye mine too!!!!! :)

[@MMSCOTT-mx8dm]

You did a great job.

[@ixchel6775]

Hi. Would love to know if the dye last till now. Any fading or rubbed off?

[@AuthenblissityMain]

Hello! I haven't experienced any of the dye rubbing off. There has been a tiny bit of "fading" along the threads but not on the actual leather itself. My bag used to be green and you can see the green thread in parts.

[@amyc.loguercio8097]

Have you found that the dye has rubbed off at all?

[@IMOO1896]

I didn’t catch the reason to use both dye products, the Feebings and Tarrago. Was that the intention to start with, or was it necessary because you had the “shine” in some areas after the first dye layer?

[@AuthenblissityMain]

If I recall correctly, that was in the blog post I read. I wasn't sure why we needed both either, but after the first (penetrating) dye, the leather had a bit of a dull brown/copper/bronze look to it. The second (self-shine) dye made the leather pitch black and shiny.

[@IMOO1896]

petitepearstyle thank you, I’m about ready to try this method for a very used Maxwell tote. You’re inspiring.

[@OneR635]

hey! may i know how it is holding up now? that its November lol. Any transfers, peeling etc? thanks

hi eva! it's still holding up well - i just used it a little while ago and it looks/feels exactly the same as when i first dyed it. the dye still does transfer onto my hands slightly from the handles (particularly when my hands are freshly lotioned) but no colour transfer elsewhere. hope this helps!
