Looking for advice on how to restore this beige Chanel lambksin bag.

I believe the spots are scars from mold. I steam cleaned the bag to kill the mold. This made the spots darker/more intense. I assume this is because of increased water uptake where it is damaged and that with time they will turn lighter again.

I would like to remove the spots and restore the topcoat to protect it. If possible I want to avoid dying it, but what do you recommend to restore it and is it possible with dye or color?
Which products do you recommend to get?

Thank you for your time!

>>> what do you recommend to restore it
Once the mold infestation results in sinking pits, physical damages are irreversible. Mold is a living organism and damages are progressive that timely preventive anti-fungicidal control is preferred over corrective restoration

>>> and is it possible with dye or color?
The only possibility is camouflaging with transparent dyestuff or opaque pigment.
