I dyed my beloved Balenciaga Pompon (2009 Agneau Leather) and I absolutely love how it turned out. The entire process took me 3 days with drying time and actual work time was probably around 6 hours (around 2 hours per day). • This was quite a scary decision and hopefully the dye job will hold up well... I definitely recommend doing some research before deciding to embark on a similar dye DIY. Below are links to a few resources that I found very helpful when deciding whether to dye my bag: • http://easypetitelooks.com/2012/04/di... • http://forum.purseblog.com/balenciaga... • Here is what you need: • A large workspace - a tiled floor works well • Bedsheets, garbage bags, paper, or puppy pee pads to cover the workspace • One Fiebing's Leather Dye Kit (contains 118ml dye and cotton dauber) - this is a penetrating dye but it doesn't say that anywhere on the packaging - https://amzn.to/2pVbaK0 • One Tarrago Color Dye Self-Shine Kit (contains instructions, 25ml preparer, 25ml dye, small sponge, and small brush) - https://amzn.to/3AxC6nm • Waterproof gloves • Mildly abrasive scrubber sponge • Small foam brush • Rubbing alcohol • Cotton swabs or a small concealer/makeup brush you no longer use • Old washcloth • 1:38 About the dye • 4:21 Step 1 - Prep the leather by using the Preparer included in the Tarrago kit. Work the product into the leather by buffing it in with a mildly abrasive sponge. • 5:52 Step 2 - Apply a thin coat of the Fiebing's Penetrating Leather Dye right after preparing the leather (do not wait for the leather to dry). Use a small foam brush to apply the dye to large areas and the dauber to apply the dye to nooks crannies. When the bag is somewhat dry to the touch, apply a second coat. Let dry for 24 hours. • 8:15 Optional - Once your bag is dry to the touch, weigh your bag down with books and hang it up to stretch out the leather. • 8:38 Step 3 - Apply a thin layer of the Self-Shine Dye included in the Tarrago kit. Work the product into the leather with a sponge in a circular motion. Use a small foam brush to apply the dye to large areas and the small brush included in the Tarrago kit for the nooks crannies. Wait a few hours and apply a second coat. Touch up the bag with the small brush as needed. • 10:36 Step 4 - Clean off any hardware with some rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs (or a small concealer brush, which I highly recommend). • Blog post - https://petitepearstyle.blogspot.com/... • I'm wearing: • Lips - Lancome Rouge in Love 240M • Vlog channel: / authenblissityvlogs • Website: https://www.authenblissity.com • Instagram: @authenblissity • Not sponsored.
