this extremely rare vintage gucci hobo leather bag from the 70s is truly a diamond in the rough. it's really amazing how a simple change on hardware can make such a huge difference on the appearance of a bag. i wish i could easily buy gold-leafing pen in the local market as it would make this process a hundred times faster and easier. they carry this product on amazon.com, but with tax and import duties, i would rather make do with my leftover bosny kt gold effekt in 100% gold.
faded metal buckles.
use tape to cover areas you don't want any paint on. also, prepare canola oil to remove any excess paint on leather. try to avoid acetone-based products as much as possible.
cover the remainder of the bag with old rags.
use bosny kt gold effekt no. 183 or 100% gold.
dry completely before inserting your strap. it will take approximately an hour.
