It’s assumed that the leather is cleaned of all foreign contamination.
Otherwise use: Prep-7.7 > Cleaner-3.8 > Rinse-3.0 > Hydrator-3.3 > Fatliquor-5.0 > Eraser-4.
Color touch-up begins with the right refinishing system and here we should be using the Pigment-64 system.
Red would be the right color to begin with.
All other color can be combined to match up to the color of the bag.
Tints is by adding White
Tones is by adding Gray
(Gray will determine the intensity of the color and it can range from a combination of white and black with a 10% of black on white increment to 90%).
Shades is by adding Black
Mixing of color is easier to go by droplets using a plastic pipette on a painting palette tray, recording the combination droplets for future reference.
The possible color is applied to the edge of a white piece of paper, blow dry for matching against the existing color. Notice that the color will shift darker when dry.
When exact match is achieve the actual application may goes in this sequence.
1] Apply Adhesor-73 to the worn areas and blow dry it.
2] Color can be combined with leather Bond-3D to match the thickness of the existing coatings.
3] Otherwise Stucco-90 can be mixed with the color to fill-up the worn areas as an option.
4] Apply color on top with cotton swab / painting brushes / leather Spatula-6 to satisfaction.
5] Topcoat to seal the color with matching luster of gloss, satin or matte.
6] Rub-resistant protection – use Protection-B+

Here are the results. The color match is not perfect, but you can only see the difference under a magnifier.
Thank You for all the info.

In most of the time, the luster plays a part in the overall appearnace as well. . .
The gloss will make the color appears darker or deeper in intensity and the matte will give you lighter in color intensity.
Try it out!
