Stupid question I know but thought this might be the best place to ask

I have bought a white leather handbag but its to big for what I want it for so thought I might dye it black

HOW??/

An easy cheap way would be brill if anyone can suggest something

Genuine answers would be grateful

Not sure if you can get leather dye from places like the range or wilkos!

Won't it still be too big even if it is different colour?

Yes it obviously will be the same size

BUT I said id ordered a white handbag and its to big for what I want it for

If I dye it black I can use it for work so I will get some use out of it

Thank you for suggesting wilko and range

I love proper replies

I would sell the bag but I wanted a small white one to go with an outfit on Saturday so not a lot of time really

Yes its my own fault as I didn't check the measurements but just thought id ask for advice off fellow fabsters

No big deal to be honest

Have a look on eBay or a car reupholster place as you will be able to get the stuff they use for car seats.
