Hi
I have a Miu Miu handbag – photo attached.
It is a very light tan and there is significant darkening of the handles and the grain has lifted up, making the handle rough to the touch.
Overall the color is uneven because it has had numerous polishes and cleaning products applied.
I’m not sure what type of leather it is – it’s got a pebbled finish and when I scratch the surface, it reveals a much lighter color underneath.
It has some dye transfer on the sides and the surface is scuffed in places.
I have previously tried to clean it with Grison leather cleaner which darkened the leather and did little to clean it.
I want to restore it to its original color.
Do you have any recommendations for products I can use, prices and shipping to Australia?
Here are some pictures of the Miu Miu to show the damages.
Thanks
Claire
