Bally bag help please!
Hello everyone! This is my first post on this forum. I just purchased a cream/beige coloured second hand lambskin Bally Bag. I think it is from the 1980’s. To cut a long story short, I think I may have ruined the colour on the bag by trying to clean it. I committed the cardinal sin of attempting to clean it with bicarb soda and vinegar.... so now the colour is gone on one side and the bag has gone dark with an even dirtier look... 😭
What I am wondering is whether I can still salvage the bag. Ideally, I would like to colour the bag in the same original cream/ivory beige colour. If this isn’t possible, should I just deglaze the bag and colour it a darker colour instead? What brand dyes should I use? The leather is a beautiful soft lamb skin and all of the stitching on the bag is still completely intact. I would be grateful for any advice! I will try and attach some pics of the bag.
