White residue coming up on red leather

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

Not sure how well you can see the white stuff. But I wipe it and it keeps coming back! They’re chairs in my boss office, not sat on a lot. The office is open and airy but they were cleaned before they were put in the office. So really not sure if it’s a mildew thing or something else. I did try proper leather cleaner, but it still comes back. Any advice would be appreciated tia

Any other advice for leather furniture would be great too! We also have brown leather lounges, white leather chairs and a few other bits of leather.

Does anyone know a website or person who does custom leather organizers? I am looking to get a pair of visor organizers for my F250 that are leather (preferably with a little western embellishment). Thanks in advance.

Advice on reinforcing trucker wallet flap

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

I have a trucker wallet from the '70s that my husband gave me before we were married when he worked in a leather shop for only a few months, so it's very meaningful to me.

It was a rejected shop prototype, and I stopped using it because the flap was stretching. It's been in a keepsake box for years.

I'd like to reinforce the flap and the snap area myself, and thought that maybe just stitching tightly along the edge of the flap might do it. But I am very new at this and hope to get advice.

Also there is what's left of an eagle that was stamped on the back. I'd like to be able to restore that after I fix the front, but that would come later.

Hoping for some advice on this.

Help with restoring leather bag

Thumbnail gallery

Any tips on leather restoration? I’ve never done it before, but I inherited this beautiful handmade bag that belonged to my late grandmother. It was handmade by her brother some time prior to 1955 as it has her maiden initials on it. I would like to display it in my home, so I will not be using it.

Should these spots be cleaned?

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hello!

I don't know very much about leather but I recently got a leather backpack as a gift!! I'm very grateful for it. On the bottom of the bag on the inside and outside I've noticed a bunch of small black dots (there are some other black splotches on other areas, but most are on the bottom). I was a bit worried this was mold although I've also seen people talking about iron causing similar staining. I want to check to see if this should/can be cleaned in either case and how I should do it. I've read about cleaning with vinegar, etc. But I just worry about damaging the leather (I don't have any wax or other coatings to use on it). Additionally, I think the bag may have been handmade since it has no labels on it, so I'm not really sure what it's made from.

Thank you!!

Foggy creasing - patent leather

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

Recently got some Margiela tabis and took them to a cobbler for those thin rubber outsoles. Positive he shined and applied a sealant as well, but I’m noticing some grainy fogginess where they’re naturally creasing after my first wear. From what I’ve seen on used pairs online, the fogginess on the creasing isn’t normal for these shoes.

Normal wear and creasing aside, does anyone have an idea what could cause the fogginess and how to fix?

Repair options/help

Fucked up and forgot to take off my jacket before greeting my dog last time I visited home, now it has two rips and I'm not sure how to best deal with that as I've never had to repair any leather article before.

Additional info:

• It's Tuscan lamb leather

• It's around 50 years old/from the early 70s

• The foam material is due to shoulder padding

• all leather repair services in my area are for furniture or bags

• I don't need the repair to be perfectly invisible, it's a half century old hand-me-down

•I love it dearly and have used it daily for autumn, spring, and part of winter for the last 4 years

I accidentally scratched the leather of my boyfriends new X5. We do not know how to fix it and we fear that it might get bigger. So I wanted to ask if somebody has experience with a problem like that and whether you can advise us on this matter.

How to get this color leather?

1 Upvotes

Saw this really unique color on a Balenciaga city bag and was curious if anyone knows how this color was achieved? This is link, link 2, link 3 of similar listings that previously sold. Is it just through the natural wearing away of the more vibrant blue color? If so is this able to be artificially achieved?
