It might be worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellowed-belt-can-it-be-fixed#post-2053518 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 16:45:33 +0000 rachylou 2053518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the ideas guys! It’s the fabric that’s yellowed and that shows, I’ll remember Tarrago tho(!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellowed-belt-can-it-be-fixed#post-2053463 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 13:51:42 +0000 elpgal 2053463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it the fabric that has yellowed or the leather?</p> <p>For fabric, I would brush on hydrogen peroxide and try sunning the belt. If it is leather, go with Tarrago. Works really well. Maybe hack some fabric off the hem and diy a new belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellowed-belt-can-it-be-fixed#post-2053431 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 09:59:52 +0000 Anonymous 2053431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The visible part of the belt is leather right? Could you recolor it? I'll let you know how my Tarrago shoe recolor goes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellowed-belt-can-it-be-fixed#post-2053430 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 09:38:26 +0000 Vildy 2053430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Possibility that soaking in straight vinegar might do the trick. I've rescued an antique beaded evening bag that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellowed-belt-can-it-be-fixed#post-2053422 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 07:22:20 +0000 Cardiff girl 2053422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not sure what to suggest that would help.Have you goggled it?The other option is people who deal with conserving old textiles,they might have suggestions.Other than that I am with Joy,prehaps try another belt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellowed-belt-can-it-be-fixed#post-2053420 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 05:06:24 +0000 Anonymous 2053420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a tough one. Could you uses a different belt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yellowed-belt-can-it-be-fixed#post-2053418 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 04:17:47 +0000 rachylou 2053418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m wearing an old, an ancient Ralph Lauren sundress. White with black roses, like an ink drawing. It has a belt which I often forget, but I pulled it out today. It has turned yellow! I guess they must have glued the fabric onto the leather before stitching. Do all y’all think there is a way to make it white again and without fading the roses? </p>
