Vintage salvatore bought by his companion Siberian blue robin
The back of Ferragamo
Unexpected shape loss, wrinkles, scratches due to leather dents,
And since the serious scratches on the handle were noticeable,
I repaired it in a hurry.
Leisure people’s main business is the production of small leather goods, so a well-made bag
The repair was interesting.
The specialty of leisure people is tannin tanning,
The texture of Ferragamo’s chrome-tanned back
Similar to the texture of tannins,
I haven’t seen you much these days
It was of good quality and beautifully made, so
This repair method may have worked.
Applying repair and polishing methods for leather shoes,
Wrinkles, dents and scratches are much less noticeable
I came back to a beautiful bag.
This time, I have to repair it, and I have dents, scratches and wrinkles on the leather.
I will write about how to fix it.
I will also write about care, so
If you refer to it, it will be very useful.
It can also be applied to leather shoes and small leather goods.
* For tannin-tanned dyeing,
The method changes a little.

What to prepare

1. Shoe polish
(The color that is close to the color of leather and one tone deep is the best.)
This time Ferragamo was brown, but I chose Bordeaux.
2. Pig bristle brush (for applying cream)
3. Horsehair brush (for polishing)
4. Flannel cloth or 100% cotton cloth
5. Steam iron
6. Towel
7. Stain remover
8. Shoe cream (clear) (← using tapir)

For handle repair
Nume leather, thread, needle, bond

Be careful

● Where shoe polish is inconspicuous
Check the color tone.
● In a place where the steam iron is not noticeable
Check for deformation.
(Depending on the leather, there is a risk of extreme deformation)
Is shoe polish dyed with colored leather?
(Pigment-finished products may not be included.)
It is just a reference example, so
The following methods are available depending on the condition of the leather and the type of leather.
If it doesn’t work,
Be prepared to be unusable in the worst case
Please try it.
If you don’t know the type or finish of the leather,
A back repair shop,
To understand leather (Tokyu Hands, etc.)
I think you should try it after listening.
The leather this time is cowhide, chrome tanned, and dyed.
It seems to be.

Some of the leather is missing
The leather was torn from there, and the shoulder strap was about to come off.

Stretch the leather for leather polishing,
To prevent it from getting out of shape
According to the shape tightly,
Pack multiple towels.

4. Apply steam iron

When the leather is moistened with water and heated,
When the shape changes and it dries
It has the property of maintaining its shape.
Tannin tanned or combination tanned edge (leather cross section)
When you polish it, you can polish it like a tree.
That is why.
The temperature of the iron is low to medium.
Put a double towel on the leather and watch the leather.
While issuing steam
Apply an iron to smooth out the wrinkles on the leather and shape it.
Try it first in an inconspicuous place,
Towel like a shoe keeper
It is necessary to pack it tightly.

The big dents have improved considerably,
The wrinkles have also become considerably shallower.
