Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I purchased two vintage Coach purses- One was a stewardess bag. After washing , drying and leather conditioner they came out beautifully.

"some crazy crap like that" Bless you, I just watched a video where the person used shoe wax and watching it was instant dread and anxiety. Thank you so much for this extremely helpful video. I have been wanting to touch up the corners on my crescent bag, but I have been too scared to work with the analine leather.

acetone really works..thnx

Hi friend! Yes but ONLY use it on the vintage unlined bags. Hope you're doing well and staying safe 🌹

This is great! Will you be uploading the part where you show how you apply the dye? It would be interesting to watch how much you saturate or how you apply in the process...then see the final look. Thank you for sharing!

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Thank you so much! I didn't film the dye process because I needed both hands but will dye a bag on film in the future. There's nothing to it really. Thank you so much for your support and for watching ❤️

[@mslizzardroscoe9051]

To just dye the piping, does the same process apply? Is it mandatory to use the acetone when just touching up the piping and edges?

[@lanaofficiel4042]

Hi friend. I have a Coach Sutton bag that I bought from a consignment shop. The bag is beautiful, I just hate the color and I was wondering if it is possible to re-dye Black. Can I use the method that you show here using the Acetone and the leather dye?? Can the Sutton be re-dyed???

[@bluegumbo6014]

So glad I kept all my old Coach bags because now I’m officially vintage! Followed your instructions and used acetone then Fiebings black dye on my well-loved black Companion Bag. It looks great again! Should I follow up with their Bag Kote or just condition the leather? Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Hi friend, I would just follow up with leather conditioner. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment 🌹 have a wonderful day ☺️

[@yuanrural5730]

Hi, I just got a bone painted waston bag and find this vedio very helpful! But there is also some mildew inside and outside (maybe under the painted layer) of this bag. And I want to ask some questions if you don't mind: 1: Should I dunk it(with white vinegar) first or use acetone with it first? 2: I wonder Is this process right? acetone - dunk - leather conditioner - let it dry - dye - seal it - leather conditioner? 3: Do I always need a Resolene after dying it? Or I don't need the Resolene if I use the LOW VOC dye? 4:Should I use feibing's Resolene or feibing's BAG-KOTE on the sealing process? Cause I find there are types of sealing product from feibings. Sorry I have so many problems, because this is my first time try to dye a bag and even worse it's moldy! Thank you very much for sharing your experience~~~

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Hi friend! First, if the bag in deed has hidden mold GET RID OF IT ASAP!!! That's probably the reason it's been painted. Paint is very different from dye. I would never paint a vintage Coach bag, it seal the pores and in time the bag will be a hot mess. Dye is like a stain which doesn't seal off the pores. I've learned since this video I don't need to seal dye on these types of bags, but definitely when I paint a different brand of bag just so the dye doesn't come off on to my clothing. Acetone open the pores up to take the dye or paint better, I always dunk after using acetone. But if you suspect mold, any mold I would definitely throw the bag away! Hope you're doing well and having a wonderful day 🌹

[@yuanrural5730]

@@vintagecoachcollector Wow thank you very much for your fast reply and the info you shared! I will try to confirm whether it's moldy or not when I dunk it. If it's not mold, I will try to dye it! Also I'm surprised it doesn't need a sealing process! Wish you have a wonderful day too! ❤❤❤

[@vintagecoachcollector]

If you find out it's not mold, strip off the paint acetone will help. If it's mold it will be blotchy dark spots on the leather. 🌹

Thanks again for another good video! Do you have any turn lock backpacks you could show us?

[@vintagecoachcollector]

I have a sling bag and a drawstring backpack, called the Daypack. I'm not sure where it's at right now but I do have. I will see if my daughter still has them and if so I will show them. Those are the only two I have. Thank you so much for watching ❤️

[@ninetysixlang7839]

Thank you for the great video. I'm considering dyeing a white coach bag to british tan. Can you recommend a feiblings dye that would give me the british tan color?

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Hi friend, I've had good luck with Saddle Tan, they have a color wheel you can choose from. Hope you find the right one to match the right British tan you're looking for. Have a wonderful day 🌹

[@ninetysixlang7839]

Thank you very much. I will give it a go. Thanks again.

Hi, where is part 2 of this video, I want to see the end result, thanks friend.

[@MIKKIESB]

Hi there! Do you recommend adding resolene etc once the bag is dyed? I have seen mixed reviews on that

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Hi friend! I always wait for the bag to dry, just like I would wait in-between coats of dye to dry if needs two coats. I've never heard of sealing while wet but everyone is different I guess. Hope you have a wonderful day 🌹

[@Lulu-fu4bl]

Thanks for this video! I dyed the edges of one of my bags and it looks so much better. I do have a question have you ever redyed anything white? The only product in white of fiebings is acrylic dye and I don’t know if that’s going to give the same effects or completely change the quality of a vintage coach.

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Hi friend, yes I have dyed a white bag before but not a vintage Coach. I would be careful with the vintage Coach bags because you most certainly can change the leather. You can always buy another one if it doesn't turn out, but if it's a rare bag I wouldn't use just any kind of dye, is dying it a dark color a option? I have done many times with vintage Coach bags even changed the hardware before but never dyed a white bag white, I have however dyed a light color to a dark when it comes to the Coach bags. Hope this helps you in some way. Have a wonderful day my friend 🌹

[@Lulu-fu4bl]

@@vintagecoachcollector it’s a black court bag with white trim. I was looking to purchase it but there is wear on the white so I was planning on dyeing it but they don’t have white on the low voc fieblings dye. Thank you for always responding to questions! Hope you are having a great day!

[@eeeeegar9023]

Hello friend, I am wondering if I can used acetone on a black bag and just condition her after? And if she looks bad I guess I will dye her.

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Hi friend! Is it a vintage Coach? I wouldn't use acetone on any other. Are you trying to strip the bag? Acetone will open the pores and prepare the leather to take dye better, and it does strip off paint and shoe polish etc. Yes always moisturizing after acetone is a critical step or the leather will dry out and that will be a problem if that happens. Hope this helps, stay safe and have a wonderful day 🌹

[@eeeeegar9023]

@@vintagecoachcollector oh it is a Carson, it looks super shiny after dunking. What do you think of the Carson, have you had one? I will surely follow your steps.....you are the best handbag teacher! I'm having so much fun!

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Awww, Thank you that's so kind of you to say! Is the style number 9939? Yes I have one or did have one. Was it shiny before the dunk? Shouldn't be shiny at all. Is it sticky to the touch?

[@eeeeegar9023]

@@vintagecoachcollector seriously, I am so happy to have found you! And yes the bag is 9939. She does not feel sticky. She feels plastic, not that soft leather. Her inside pocket is soft but outside ummmmm plastic.

Hello, thank you for sharing this. I'd love to know more if you don't mind. I am planning to dye my city bag (not sure exactly the color if bone or white as it is very difficult to tell) I would like to dye with bright color like chartreuse. do you think it is possible? thank you in advance. I really like your videos, I am learning a lot from it. Thank you for always sharing! :)

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Hi friend! YES you can absolutely dye your City bag! And the fact that it's a lighter color should be very easy! I've dyed many vintage Coach bags with no trouble at all. If I can do it honestly anyone can ☺️ 👍 Thank you so much for your kind words ♥️ hope you have a wonderful day 🌹

[@llCharliell]

I followed your instructions and dyed my 9060 black last week. I let it dry for 48 hours and used a soft cloth to buff the excess dye then applied a thin layer of the Apple conditioner. But it seems like I still have problems with dye transfer. Did you ever have that problem? Do you have any ideas for getting rid of the dye transfer?

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Hi friend, depending on what type and kind of dye you used you will have to use a sealer such as Resolene. I've never had any transfer problems ever and I only use dye that's oil and wax free, same with conditioner, however, the conditioner such as Apple Care or Coach conditioner seals in the dye. Give Resolene a try it does work. Thanks so much for watching and comment 🌹

[@llCharliell]

@@vintagecoachcollector I used the Fiebings leather dye as you recommended. I think what I need now is that Resolene. Thank you very much for your reply. Have a wonderful day! 💗

[@vintagecoachcollector]

Fiebings have different types of dyes such as Voc and low Voc and I should've mentioned that. Yes use the Resolene and that will seal the dye 😃👍
