Suede Handbag - Denim Dye Stain

[ChrisEleven]

I have a suede bag that has been stained by blue jeans dye from a new set of jeans. I attempted to clean it with a store-bought cleaner and ended up with a barely noticible change in the staining and what looks like a watermark from the cleaner.

Attatched are pictures of the staining.'

Do you think there is any way for this bag to be repaired?

Certainly can be done, if you have seen this thread:

The stain removing would involved the latest leather-safe 3 steps process using Prep-4.4 > Cleaner-3.8 > Rinse-3.0 (with suede Brush-3 and nubuck Eraser-5)

After the stains is completely gone, the suede has to be rehydrated with Hydrator-3.3 and fatliquor with Fatliquor-5.0 to soften the suede with suppleness and strength.

Thereafter a non-stick protector is applied to impart a waxy-feel with a classic leather scent.

Looks like there is a fur trim and wet process will be restrictive unless the fur trim is remove. otherwise have to check for fur skin wettability.
