How can I restore colour to suede?

[VerenaR]

Long story short, got caught out in massive downpour yesterday wearing my beautiful pale pink suede trainers! Disaster! All the pretty colour has been leached from them and I am wondering if they are beyond repair. Do you think suede spray and a suede brush will work, or will that make the problem worse? i will be grateful for any tips :)

What brand?

I have suede trainers and never had this problem.

New Balance

I’d be asking for a refund or an exchange because of the colour running.

I bought them in October in the sale though. I don't think they would give me a refund now...despite this only being their 4th outing!

Shouldn’t matter. If the colour runs when it should be colourfast.

Tweet them if you have Twitter. Or put photo on their Facebook. They are more likely to help if it’s in the public eye
