Our client had spilt red wine all over her Prada handbag. The
handbag featured a beige acetate outer shell and light brown
leather strap and light brown leather interior lining.
In an effort to remove the wine, our client decided to wash the
handbag in her home washer. Some of the wine disappeared. But, in
the process, the dye from the leather strap and lining bled onto
the fabric. The result? An absolute mess.
Although she was unfamiliar with our handbag
and purse services, our client decided to
ship it to RAVE FabriCARE with one simple instruction: do
whatever you need to do; just save my handbag.
After two weeks, we returned the Prada handbag to our client in
perfect, usable condition. We
- removed all the residue of the red wine stains
- removed (almost all) the leather dye that had bled onto the
outer fabric
- dyed the exterior fabric a slightly darker shade to disguise
one area where the leather dye bleed could not be completely
removed
- restored the color on the leather strap and interior lining to
a color that complimented the outer fabric.
And the result? A restored, clean handbag. And one ecstatic
client. Perfetto!
