bag restoration: black wood polish to revive color on leather goods

shoe polish on leather bags is, obviously, a big no-no because it can rub off on clothing.  enter....black wood polish!  the color stays on the leather so you will be streak-free at the end of the day.  it can easily hide superficial scratches and scuff marks.  plus, it is fairly cheap at 150 pesos.  one container should last you a long time.  i tested it on a black vintage coach binocular bag with great result.



apply in circular motion.  less is more.


 buff lightly with soft cotton rag for subtle sheen.


it has a very strong shoe polish-like smell.  let the bag sit for a few hours before using.


check for color transfer.


verdict?  after a long day of thrift shopping, the color just got even better!



psssst, you may use this trick on your worn-out leather couch, too!
