I have a lovely large Russell & Bromley mock-croc handbag that I've had for years. When I was first given it, after a couple of weeks of initial use the dye on the shoulder straps and back of the bag started rubbing away, leaving the greyish white surface underneath. I took itcback to R & B and they swapped it, but when the same thing eventually happened with the replacement, for whatever reason I never got round to taking it back again.
Does anyone have experience of patch-dyeing leather goods such as this? It's not patent leather but is a fairly high-shine texture, and a lovely deep dark brown colour (in parts!). Obviously I want to use a dye that won't come off again on the same way the first one did.
Any tips gratefully received!
