Hi Roger

So glad i found your page Im wondering if there i any hope to restore this Chanel to its glory. The bag is in perfect condition except is has gained a yellow tone. It is not dirt but the leather it self that has changed colour. It is in patent leather. What products would you recommend to restore it to its original white colour?

Hope you have a solution for me.

Best Regards
Jennifer

What we see is not surface stain, it is the patent finishes that is discoloring.

An option is to dye it to camouflage the yellow discoloration with a transparent aniline dyestuff and finish it with a high gloss topcoat to restimulate a patent leather of a different color.
