This leather looks like a fine Nubuck or a Pure-Aniline.

Nubuck would have a very fine velvety sheen when runs with our finger tip.

The difference is either using nubuckBrush2™ in combination with nubuckEraser5™ for nubuck.

Or using leatherBrush1™ in combination with anilineEraser4™ for pure-aniline.

With a higher resolution picture, we may be able to positively identify it.

Sequence of procedure is as follows:

#1: Inside Lining Cleaning.
Remove all soiling from inside the bag.
Turn the lining inside out, preferably it is clean first if it’s heavily soiled: d’Grease4.9™ > clean3.8™ > rinse3.0™ > fast dry with hair dryer.

#2: Keep the bag in shape.
Stuff the bag with towel to keep its shape throughout the wet cleaning.

#3: Dry Soil Stain Removal.
Erase the blue jean stains with either using nubuckEraser5™ for nubuck or anilineEraser4™ for pure-aniline without hurting the leather texture especially if it is a pure-aniline leather.

#4: Spotting the Blue Jean Dye.
Apply d’Oil4.4™ with a cotton swab onto the stain areas and gently extract the dye as much as possible until the cotton swab is clean. Then re-apply again and let it dwell for at least 2 hours. By this time even though the dyes is suspended it will be reabsorbed deeper by the porous leather. Extract again to see any color transfer.

#5: Restoration cleaning the entire Bag.
While the stain is still damp d’Grease4.9™ is spray to the entire bag and scrub with either nubuckEraser4™ or anilineEraser5™. Use a white clean dry towel to extract soiling evenly. Why? This will even out the color and help to disperse the remaining dye residue within the leather structure.
And also blends the over-clean stain areas if any.

#6: Cleaning the entire Bag.
Spray the bag with clean3.8™ evenly to wet it out, brush and extract with towel, until towel shows clean.

#7: Acidifier Rinse all Residues.
Spray rinse3.0™ evenly over the entire bag, brush and extract with towel until towel shows clean.

#8: Softening & strengthening the leather when dry.
Spray fatliquor5.0™ evenly over the entire bag, and brush it evenly.

#9: Slow Natural Drying away from direct sunlight.
Either hand it up or place over a white towel for slow drying.

#10: Wick-Up Residual Soil Removal.
Brush and erase with appropriate tool to remove wick-up soil.

#11: Leather scent non-stick silky-feel conditioning.
Use leatherScent’S™.

May I know the brand of this bag?

Hi Roger

New pictures

[Roger Koh]

These pictures size is too small; they are only (500 x 334), can’t see the fine nap.
Try post high resolution pictures above (1000 x 600).

Anyway, just remember not to use nubuckEraser5™ on Pure-Aniline leathers.

Roger.
