It's not a cleaner. They told me to use this to clean my leather bags; I guess the Coach Cleaner is for their signature bags? </p> <p>It did work to remove the dye before - which now I do know was from the same ATL dress. But that wasn't a lot of dye, more like a smudge, and not like this time. (It was lightly raining in HK that day - I was under an umbrella but I guess the dress got a little moist despite it). I have also used this product on my banana bag with success, and it does an excellent job removing normal every-day city dirt. </p> <p>I'm planning to duplicate the Inc pants in black - I see that's back online now in my size. However, the fabric content sounds a little different. Crossing fingers it'll fit the same as the gray... </p> <p>I don't want mine to shrink - they are perfect right now! I will probably line dry them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-tanya-dye-on-white-handbags#post-102230 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:41:37 +0000 Tanya 102230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shiny! I will give it another try on a small spot and see what happens. And sorry to ask this again, but you mentioned some kind of cleaner from Coach before, what was it's correct name?</p> <p>Thanks again!</p> <p>I have not washed my INC pants yet, I have only worn them once. I definitely plan to put them in the washer and maybe even dryer. But, they are a size too big on me so I am sort of hoping that they shrink so that i do not have to take them to the tailor... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-tanya-dye-on-white-handbags#post-102184 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:45:15 +0000 shiny 102184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Paul Mitchell. I used nearly the entire travel size container! No yellowing. Of course, it made the purse sticky, so I had to rinse it a lot, which made me worry. I do think the cobbler can restore it - it's about 90% there (except for the braided handles, which look grubby). I was going to get it professionally cleaned then put it away for the winter anyway (it's an optical white, not a cream - better for summer?). </p> <p>Next question: I wonder if there's anyway to set the dye on this ATL dress, so it doesn't happen again? </p> <p>I also had another question for you, Tanya: have you washed your INC ponte knit pants yet? It says they can be machined washed, but I'm nervous about that. Thoughts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-tanya-dye-on-white-handbags#post-102099 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 03:18:00 +0000 Tanya 102099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No really Shiny. Thank you very much for this info. I have tried on some hairspray, which removed the stains somewhat,m but also made the color turn a bit yellowish, which made me scared. In the meantime the bag got even more stains. I should probably take it to a cobbler.</p> <p>May I ask which type of hairspray were you using? Maybe I just tried the wrong one... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-tanya-dye-on-white-handbags#post-102082 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 01:57:29 +0000 shiny 102082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, the finish did not come off. But the hairspray didn't restore it completely - it was A LOT of dye!! Everywhere the dress touched. </p> <p>I tried cleaner on it tonight, but I think it needs more work with the hairspray or some other solvent. I will probably take it to the cobbler's and let them fix it up for me at this point. It has a braided handle, which is the most difficult part to clean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-tanya-dye-on-white-handbags#post-102078 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 01:39:35 +0000 agrace 102078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this tip - I have a 'chalk' white bag that I dearly love and it is very grey-grungy looking...I will give this a try. I've tried hairspray but maybe not enough.<br /> Did you have any problems with the finish coming off at all? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-tanya-dye-on-white-handbags#post-102070 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 01:18:05 +0000 Angie 102070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Maya told Louise to do the same and hairspray was the savior of the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-tanya-dye-on-white-handbags#post-102030 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 20:49:54 +0000 shiny 102030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you ever get the dye off your new white handbag?</p> <p>While in Hong Kong, I wore my ATL Ponte Knit sheath, and it was so hot and humid AND a little rainy, I discovered later that the black dye had rubbed off all over my white handbag! It was *everywhere.* I thought the bag was completely ruined. </p> <p>But I ended up rescuing it with hairspray. Lots and lots of hairspray.... spray, let sit, rub it in, rinse off with a washcloth, repeat. </p> <p>It still needs a good wipe-down with the leather cleaner, and possibly some more hairspray on a few stubborn spots, but it worked pretty good. </p>
