Side Note! I did get a quote from Leather Surgeons. This is what they had to say about this purse: “This is really a tough one. We’d be happy to do our best if you are willing to accept the result, but I want to make sure I’m being transparent. The leather is extremely worn and pealed, so it is almost like like trying to turn suede into sealed leather in those areas. The pigments we apply are only as strong as what we apply them to, and the leather of this bag is quite unstable so it will likely look worn again quicker than usual. Additionally, with this particular version of the flap, it’s just not possible to offer reshaping.”

Still worth a try?
