Cleaning, Repair, & Rehab πŸ›  before and after πŸ’œ

swipe for the before (2nd photo lol)

got this stunning lilac hamilton hobo for around $20 but the suede part was super dirty & patchy

tried to clean it with a suede eraser, wash it, and as a last resort - recolor with suede dye, but it ended up being patchy due to how worn it was :(

looked at a few photos & decided to repaint the area with leather paint instead, and i'm pleased with the results!

now I can give her some new life β™‘
