[@HEMIkkoDIY]

Great reuse and outcome, Love it 💕 need to show this to my wife and tell, her that she dont always have to buy New purse 😁 Thanks for sharing, This will Come handy 😉

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Thank you so much! I hope she enjoys the video too. I love repurposing things just like you and give them new life! Cheers!

[@rafaelvillafana5848]

I have this exact same bag and going to be adding it to my eBay store tomorrow. My sister doesn’t want it because it got stained. But this is a great way too cover up the use.

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Thank you for watching Rafael! Indeed its a great way to give the bag that make over..

[@OmaDeExplorer]

Interesting! look at how the old bag transformed into like a new bag, amazing! Thanks for sharing

[@CarolineBielskis1]

Looks beautiful! Questions: 1. What brand of dye do you use? 2. When buffing, is there just a little polish remover on the cloth, it is it saturated? 3. If the bag gets wet, will the dye rub off? 4. Can I use a sealant/waterproofing spray to protect the finish? Thank you 😊

[@aliciag2070]

Hi Caroline, altho I'm not the original poster of the video, I have been Re-Fabbing Louis Vuitton for 5 years and since this video is over 2 years old I thought I'd help. 1- I personally use Fiebings Leather Dye. 2-When buffing, a clean soft cloth should be used. No acetone on it. I use acetone between the 1st and 2nd dye application. And sometimes after last coat. 3- If buffed until nothing comes off on cloth, it will not run 4-Yes, you can use a sealant such as Resolene or Leather Sheen both from Fiebings or Angelus makes an Acrylic Sealer. I personally do not seal my Louis Vuitton Vernis. I haven't found a sealant that I really like. Hope this helps you. Good luck!

[@summerspangle6590]

Does it just return to being glossy or the leather dye itself has to be glossy?

[@sivabalan7116]

Hi. Is really nice video. What brand (dye) you most recommended? Can I use other color dye then black color?

[@anitaratanje6140]

brilliant result !

[@gyzelschatzi7304]

Hello Darling What a Great result. I have some patent lv and gucci bags id like to do the same process on and also some louboutins. Did you apply only one coat? And i ve read that ANGELUS products are the best is that right? Best red-gards

[@spaolillo2363]

Hi ! Great job 👌🏼 I’m wanting to dye my white patent LV handbag. I’m wondering if you used a special dye for patent leather to give it the shine ? Thanks !

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Hi Sally thank you for checking the video, No I did not use a special dye only the Angelus brand I guess because the quality is great is why the outcome after buffing was nice. Oh one thing, the buffing part plays a big role for the shiny look, once all the excess dye has come off after buffing (takes time) then it will look shiny like that. I hope this helps you

[@justtlife8549]

Thank you for this movie, could you tell me what paint exactly you use the movie? I would like to order the same.

[@dayannaespinoza4199]

Can you paint it a lighter color? For example white instead of a dark color?

[@sushantigomez4739]

Hi there, great video, I am planning to repurpose my old 50s style Kelly handbag which has dark brown patent leather look. I am planning to paint/ dye it primarily beige and do a painting on the bag itself. From what I saw in the video, you used acetone on a paper towel to prep it, Used leather paint on a dauber in circular motions , in two coats, then used a lint free cotton cloth with nail polish remover to finish off the bag? My question is would I be able to do this for my bag? I noted you used Angelus leather dye (not paint) so it doesn't crack. I've also noticed while looking into this that there is a product called Deco Art Patent Leather Paint, would I be better off using a dye after prepping then a patent paint for the picture i'd like to paint on the bag? How would you recommend I go about this. Would I need a gloss on the top after I'm done. I would really appreciate if you could advise me on this. Thanks!

[@ambermuniz06]

So if i have a bag that color could i dye it pink? Or would it have to be a dark color ?

[@sonechkosvite]

May I ask the brand of the paint? And I do not understand if you use something except the paint to be able to polish till it shines?

[@shorouqs2203]

Can this be done the same way to patent leather shoes? I have a pair of Prada sneakers that have yellowed badly 😫

[@SimplySarahC]

This was satisfying to watch :)

[@jennybrown4683]

Gonna try it!

[@jlouutube65]

Great job!! I am wondering how much acetone you use in the polishing process, so as not to remove too much dye? ;)

[@dianes1934]

Hi, do you accept dye project order? Im from Alberta

[@MeetMeInJapan]

Hi so the steps i should do is buff with nail polish. Dye the bag. Keeps adding costs till desired color. Let bad dry for five minutes. Them buff out with nail polish again until no dye comes out and is shiny? Please let me know if I’m missing a step.

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Yes you got it and please don't forget to tape the hardware so yhey don't get any dye on them

[@leylaghiasi5464]

I love this! But i would love to send you my bag from Sweden and ofcourse pay you if u can help me with fixing my LV 😂

[@luxblondenyc657]

Would you dye a bag for me if i sent it in and paid? I would like same blue color. Start color same as yours

[@陈香烨-q7y]

Hi, Iam trying to dye my lady Dior but the dye only paint the surface, when I use nail polish remover to puff. The pain comes off😢

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Hi Im sorry about that, did you prepare the bag before you dyed it? What type of dye were you using? I used Angelus navy blue leather dye in this video. There are different types of dye it depends too on what kind of material you are applying it to. I hope this helps.

[@陈香烨-q7y]

The Purposeful Crafts & DIY hi I used colour studio leather dye and fiberling’s leather colour. It gets me a matte finish and it is like Lambskin😢😢😢

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Oh no, it may seem that the leather you used was water based. Maybe you can try using Angelus leather dye or Fiebings alcohol based dye.

[@TableTennis-Man]

hi but how long do you wait for the dye to dry before buffing ?? thanks

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Thank you for watching!I left the dye for 5 minutes or until I covered everything then I buff the exterior until all excess dye comes off.

[@airah11]

What kind of paint you were using? What brand?

[@indaydyutay1472]

Wow ang galing naman

[@styxvxn4435]

Did you do anything to get it so shiny?

[@Connie4580]

Best one yet! Thanks so much! 2 questions.. How many coats of dye and did you use a lot of acetone on the rag/cloth to remove excess dye? Thanks so much!

[@hellolori1]

Same questions here!

[@lisac4049]

I love the person who made this video doesn't answer questions..lol why make the video..lol

[@beachwaves6986]

Thanks for sharing! Did you use anything to seal the dye into the leather? How is the bag wearing? Any dye transfer onto clothes?

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Hi thank you for watching! No, I didn't need to seal it after buffing the bag with nail polish remover over and over again until all the excess dye come off. The only part that I sealed was the vachetta. After those process I did not have any problem with color transfer. I hope this helps

[@veronicallamas9333]

The Purposeful Crafts & DIY did you repeat the dying process? It was just one coat?

[@nataliabetancourt7685]

Hello... wow I love it! I have the same bag and I was thinking in doing this, do you know if I can use a camel color over my bag that is almost white/beige ...and also what kind of paint do you recommend? Thank you so much for the video

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Hi Natalia thank you for checking it out, Angelus has plenty of leather paint you can choose colors of, but with Vernis I prefer to use leather dye than paint as the dye penetrates the coat and does not just sits on the top which is vulnerable to chipping. On the other hand, leather dye is limited to colors you can apply depending on the color of the Vernis too.

[@rppiii6737]

Why would you use a video filter that adds noise when you're showing a before and after?

[@reachm9606]

Just came across this video. I have a Louis vernis bag which has a tiny chip on the corner (the red patent leather has come off). Would you recommend apply leather paint on it? Thanks

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Hi! Thank you for checking it out. I suggest you use a leather dye instead of leather paint as the leather dye penetrates the coat instead of just sitting on the surface. I hope this will help you.

[@reachm9606]

The Purposeful Crafts & DIY thanks for the tip! I’ll try

[@mongolianheart]

Great video! That was super helpful because my nude goat leather bag has this weird dark stain or something thats deep in the leather and it cant be removed. Ive tried everything so now im gonna just paint it. Did you use acrylic leather paint? Also if i decide i wanna dye it another color how would i remove the navy blue?

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Hi Nomie thank you for watching. I used Angelus leather dye for this project, specifically the navy blue color. I prefer using the leather dye over leather paint as the dye penetrates the patent leather. I hope this will help you.

[@salmanoor7739]

Can you please tell me the full name of the dye??

[@petiteluxenoir5741]

Hi: one more question, does the nail polish you used to buff out the bag contain acetone?

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Thank you! I used the acetone to prep the coat of the bag with nail polish that has acetone in it and a lint free cloth. I hope this helps you.

[@ThePurseCurse]

Love it! Did you use Angelus acryl paint?

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

For the Vernis I have used Angelus Dye Navy Blue :)

[@ThePurseCurse]

The Purposeful Crafts & DIY thank you! I’m planing on restoring a patent Chanel diary. I’m not sure if I should use dye or acryl paint

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

I recommend dye because it penetrates and does not just sit on the top but depends on what color you are rooting for. Let me know how it goes :)

[@angeliqueabuqattam2959]

What are the products you used tho😔???

[@lawrencesanchez4412]

Did it remain with patent leather consistency???

[@MeranawInQatar]

Hi! I have the same bag as yours, the same color and the same problem, the leather is peeling off. So I searched on how to restore it and found your video, thanks for this. Can please give me the list of the products I need? Thanks. 😊

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Hi Thank you for watching! I hope this would be helpful to you. The products that I used were Acetone Nail polish remover, lint free cloth or paper towel for buffing,Painting tape to cover the hardware,and Angelus Leather dye in Navy Blue.

[@MeranawInQatar]

@@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY Thanks a lot. 😊

[@Ad_Astra2023]

Just wondering, how long do you leave the dye to dry? Does it transfer when you’re handling it at all?

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Hello thank you for watching! I left the dye for about 5 minutes then buff it over and over until all the excess dye comes off.

[@andreandangiestoys9740]

Thanks love I’m doing it right now and it feels sticky what should I do ?

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Please keep on buffing. The reaskn why it is sticky is because of the excess dye remaining. Please continue wiping it off with nail polish using a white lint free cloth,repeat until its shiny and you dont see any dye coming off

[@zelsvlog9263]

Ang gaganda naman po ng bag niyo

[@andreandangiestoys9740]

Hey love I’m planning to dye a Louis Vuitton clutch I don’t want to looSe the shine how do you make it so glossy

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Hi Thank you for watching! After applying the leather dye when you buff it over and over until there is no more excess dye coming off the bag it should be glossy again. I used nail polish to buff the bag.. I hope this helps you..

[@andreandangiestoys9740]

Thank you so much I will definitely do it I hope turns this beautiful like yours !!! I think it looks more shiner than before :) lol LAST QUESTION the paint won’t transfer into clothes or stuff on inside if I decide to dyed too ?

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

@@andreandangiestoys9740 when you buff it and you dont get any excess dye coming off the bag then you should not get any color transfer. The patent leather does not need any sealing but the vachetta does if you dye it.

[@m.taylor]

I am surprised the black leather dye gave you the glossy shine on this purse, without having to apply a shiny glaze over it.

[@llkoolbean4935]

Great video. My suggestion is remove grainy video effect so audience can really see your great handiwork!

[@jonalyngalapin3579]

what did you use to seal it?

[@AtanZafamily]

Do you use a finisher after repaint this bag?or just use leather dye only?

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Thank you for watching! No, I did not use any finisher on the patent leather but the vachetta leather only to prevent color transfer. I hope this will help you.

[@AtanZafamily]

Hi thank you for watching! For this project I used Angelus Leather Dye Navy Blue. The final color of the bag will depend on the original color. I hope this will help.

Hi, May I please ask how many coats you put on your bag? I dyed my vernis wallet and I buff with acetone but it’s very cloudy. Not successful T.T

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Hi thank you for watching! I had 3 coatings on the bag. Please be patient and keep on buffing the bag until no more dye is coming off the bag. It will take you a while to buff but it should be shiny again. I hope it goes well for you.

[@catherinechua4574]

What abt the zipper part? How did you color it?

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Hi! For the zipper part I would use a very small painting brush and dye it too but make sure that the zipper is covered by painting tape to minimize oxidation of metal. Let me know how ur project goes!

[@kjrobinson1728]

How do you remove the dye that gets on the brass and zipper?

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Hi Thank you for watching! I used metal polish for the zipper and the hardware that got some dye it will come off. If the hardware of the bag is brass I use Brasso but if not then I use other type of metal polish thats meant for what type of metal used on the hardware. I hope this helps. Cheers!

[@gracemherrymacatangay9887]

Did u put something to make it glossy again?

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Hi thank you for watching the video. Once you buff the bag with nail polish remover it will get rid off the excess dye and it will become shiny again I hope this helps

What dye did you use?

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

Hi Thank you for watching. I used Angelus Navy Blue Leather Dye. I hope this helps you.

[@arabianrose3489]

One last question, sorry to bother you,.. will the patent leather still be as shinny as before after being painted?

[@ThePurposefulCraftsDIY]

No worries. Yes when you buffer it and you find no excess dye coming off it should look shiny again.

[@HandbagDiva]

Looks like it turned out nice but filming with that filter is horrible

[@vapinggaming]

Interesting. You used leather dye over a plastic coating. Yes- It may be vachetta leather, but that super shine is created the same way they do patent leather. It is a plastic coating. I would have sanded the shiny plastic coating off first, so the dye could be absorbed (You can also use acetone or stripper- let it sit for about 10 minutes and wipe off). If you don't remove it, you might find the dye will wear off very quickly if you don't. But to each your own. If you are happy with the result, that is all that matters!
