Over the years these Marc Jacobs boots have become really scuffed (note to self- don’t buy ivory boots- they’re impossible to keep clean!) I decided to give them new life using my beloved Tarrago leather dye (I purchase it from ebay). The dye is applied with a sponge-make sure you wear plastic gloves. The color goes on thin so I needed about 4 coats.The black color is much more versatile and I can’t wait to start wearing these again.
Let me know if you have any questions!
