Chanel Bag Restoration | Dyeing from Beige to Black

Please note the bag was cleaned and prepped the day before shooting this video (this is necessary otherwise the dye won't absorb).

We're often asked by our clients whether we can restore or redye Chanel handbags. In this video we show the process we use for restoring Chanel bags using a black leather dye.

Most of the the bags we see are dyed or heavily coated with spray gun finishes, which gives an unnatural look to the leather. The process we use for redyeing leather bags is to hand apply the dye to get an even finish. It takes longer than spray dyeing but provides the best result.

The first step was removing the Chanel strap and staining the leather to black. The stain is a base coat on which the leather can be redyed / refinished. The dye was then hand applied to all areas of the bag to get a natural finish to the leather. The gold Chanel heat stamp on the inside of the flap was also retained.

You can see the finished Chanel bag or "after" shots in the last part of the video.
