A couple of weeks ago I wore my new(ish) Zara Messenger Bag out for the day. I say newish because I bought it back in April as a treat for being made permanent in my job but I wanted to wait until days where it wasn't raining to wear it. I was really really careful with the bag because I love it so much and it is sold out everywhere.
However, one day when I thought I would be safe with an older pair of jeans, I was sadly mistaken. The dye transferred all over the bag. I was absolutely gutted. I took to twitter to ask my followers if anyone knew of any methods were around that could save my bag and I was amazed at the ideas.
Some included kitchen cleaner and a cloth, bicarbonate soda and water, lemon juice etc. The one I chose to try first was nail polish remover. For me this worked brilliantly as you can see from the photo. I just put a small amount on a cotton pad and did a patch test. The dye came off immediately and left no damage to the bag. So I worked in small patches where I would rub with the nail polish remover, then a baby wipe and then a dry cotton wool pad.
My bag now looks as good as new :)

Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working with? I'm looking to start
ReplyDeletemy own blog soon but I'm having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking
for something unique. P.
S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
