Yup

I have loads of tips and thoughts, here are some:

1) I can dye her navy or black if the stains continue to bother me, for now, I'll keep her the way she is

2) I'll dunk her next time, the brush was a bit messy

3) Wait for second and even third coats, don't get too excited

4) Linen cloth is what was recommended for buffing

5) Have something you can hang the bag on

6) Stuff the bag while dying, I ignored this suggestion...

 

Try your own, it DOES NOT stiffen the leather. But I will say, when you decide to dye, especially a lighter colored bag, do not look for perfection. In my case, this was a vintage (10 years old) plus damaged bag and I knew that I'd still have some areas that were not perfect and I am ok with that. I hope you have enjoyed!
