How to Fix Your Luxury Bag at Home

In this video, I show how I dye-fixed two luxury bags: one lambskin in black and one calfskin in white. I’ll walk you through each step, tools, and products.

I went through the entire process because when I tried fixing my own bags, it wasn’t easy and I couldn’t find a YouTube video that explained it clearly. I hope this helps you dealing with the same struggle!

Final tip: Leave your bag in a dust-free area with good ventilation and let it cure for 5 days before using it.

Below are the products I used in this video:

Daily Maintenance Products:

- Saphir Nappa Cream:
Light, more gentle. Cleaner & Conditioner, can remove light stains.
Make leather look more nourished.

- Saphir Renovateur:
I use it for thicker leather, this is a heavier version of the one above.
Cleaner & Conditioner, stronger smell. I use it for shoes, not luxury bags.
But still gentler than regular leather cream & cleaner.

*Note: The bottles looks the same, one has “NAPPA” the other one has “RENOVATEUR” on the lid.

- Saphir Foam Cleaner:
More effective than the creams above for cleaning. But it's a bit stronger. Be careful. Better for shoes, just not the white/light colored ones.

Preparer & Deglazer:
Pébéo Setacolor Leather Preparer & Deglazer

Leather Color:
Angelus Leather Paint: Please choose color accordingly. If not sure, buy them all because you may need to mix the colors.

Color Thinner:

I used the same branding for thinner and color when mixing just to be safe.
