Thanks for pointing out the need for grease absorber spray on the handles. I'm restoring a vintage summer bag with very greasy handles from using sunblocks, and the alcohol solvent I was recommended did not feel efficient enough in removing all the grease, now I understand why, and hopefully have found the solution. :) Thank you for this informative video!
Hi. If I have a crocodile leather cardholder that has turned darker and patina but I would like to restore it back to its original bright tone. The crocodile leather design comes with 2 different colour in the design of patches on the leather, do I have to manually paint it t restore back its colour?
Hi there I’m interested in purchasing a whiteish lizard print bag but I noticed when the flap is open the bag is more white than the exterior. The exterior looks like it’s yellowed. Is there a way to get the yellow tint out? Many thanks!
It could just be faded. Is the leather absorbent? If it isn't you could try to clean it gently but quite certain it will need to be re-painted. Please email some pictures to info@leathercare.com so we can guide you further.
Although I appreciate all the information, I think I'm going to take my crocodile bag to a professional as it's a vintage, new with tags, limited edition Judith Leiber from the 1980's and was told it could be worth as much as $50k and I'm not going to risk screwing it up. Especially the paint! It's a lime green color and it has a lot of bling and metal and I would end up with lime green on everything... but, I do have a Versace that I will treat using your method. It's not going to get painted, though. It's black and it just needs a little freshening up. Or maybe I'll just take that in too! I'm scared! LOL! (I buy and resell vintage items. Sometimes I get things that I don't even know what they are. I got an item at a thrift store once for $3.50 and had no clue what it was, but I knew it was old and that it was probably going to be worth a lot more than the four dollars I paid. Two years later I found out it was a turn of the century, POS display case for when ink pens were mass marketed. I sold it to a woman who bought it for her pen collector son for $300 on Ebay. I don't remember how I found out what it was...and that's really bugging me now!)
Thank you for this info! I'm obsessed with restoring leather and this is a big help!
I have the same exact Brahmin bag! Great job!

So where do we get this paint to buy?
Can you glaze matte alligator with agate stone by hand at home please. It is a Hermès wallet
Please can you send pictures to info@leathercare.com
Why are the handles still darker as if with grease please.
How do you prevent the hardware/zipper from getting painted too?
Masking...it's painfully slow but no other way!
I would like to see an ostrich bag , how does it come out.
I would seal the paint with an acrylic (mat or glossy). I have seen the paint fade away after couple of years because of this.
💯🔥👏👏👏
This isn't snakeskin leather. It's leather embossed as snake skin
