I'll let you know if the solution ends up being too short lived. I'll be happy if it still looks good/ok by the end of the summer. :)</p> <p>san: It turned out the same color. The only difference is texture. It is to be expected after painting it. The paint is like a top coat on it so it hides everything underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-on-wine-stain-on-yellow-bag#post-155483 Wed, 12 May 2010 02:53:24 +0000 cciele 155483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would have never thought of painting over the stain (I guess that's why they are the experts) -- the cobbler did a great job. I'm glad you were able to extend the life of your beloved bag </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-on-wine-stain-on-yellow-bag#post-155482 Wed, 12 May 2010 02:53:05 +0000 Anonymous 155482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was this bag yellow and now it's sort of a beige? Did they paint it a color that wouldn't show the wine stain?<br /> This is interesting info. I've never heard of a cobbler painting leather but I guess there would be paint used in the art on fancy cowboy boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-on-wine-stain-on-yellow-bag#post-155481 Wed, 12 May 2010 02:50:57 +0000 Maya 155481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't even tell where the stain is/was.

I meant "not well done".

What a great solution.

(Earlier post: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/uh-oh-red-wine-stain-on-leather" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....on-leather</a> )</p> <p>I asked around and the last option was the shoe cobbler I always go to. </p> <p>They tried to clean the leather was red wine really penetrated into the soft leather. So they suggested painting it for $45. Since I like the bag and it was a gift from hubby, I decided to give it a try just to see what they can do. I was really surprised when I picked it up today. </p> <p>It actually came out the same color and it doesn't look too bad. They mixed the colors to match the color of the bag. This leather was really special before so the soft feel is gone a bit, but it's not sticky or rubbing of on my clothes after trying to rub it for a minute. I don't think it would last a long time , but it gave this bag another season of life. </p> <p>Overall, I recommend this only if you have stained a much loved handbag you can't part with. </p>
