Restoring a Bag Faded, Yellowed and Worn from Long Use

When it first came in, we cleaned it and used our yellow-stain treatment, but the yellowed areas looked the same. That told us it was fading.

We also found the leather panels at the seams badly worn, so we handled those at the same time. Finally, we used the color of the lining as a guide and brought the color back as closely as we could. Now it's ready for a good while more use.

P.S. We wiped off the color residue on the zipper again before shipping, so no worries. We were just in too much of a hurry to take the photos ><
