cleaning damaged shoes
Permalink Closed

so my bachelorette party was last weekend and i made the mistake of wearing my favorite shoes out (didn't think the night would be as drunken as it ended up being), my gold dollyannas (actually, holly pitchers).  They are so dirty and discolored now - not just from the bar but from my dark wash TR Joeys that rubbed off, apparently.  I also ended up destroying my brand new express shrug - there are two large cigarrette burns in it and my silk cami needs some major drycleaning.  anyway, lesson learned - i will wear cotton tees and raggedy jeans out from now on - but does anyone have any recommendations for restoring my shoes to their former glory?

seek professional help, but you may have to get another pair. the dye from denim especially on natural materials like leather, suede may be really hard to get out. i say if they are avail and you love them (they are your favs) just get another pair before they sell out.

ps i forgot to write how i'm sorry for your loss. years ago, i bought these very modern prada wedges that i had searched for for about two years and somehow miraculously found at neiman marcus last call for $70. they had this simmer boucle material on the front and were satin on the slingback part. i was sending a fax at work and standing too close to the copier when someone spilled toner everywhere.. includign my shoes. i dyed them black (from cream) but they turned green and stained my feet. i can't throw them out but i just hope someday i can rebuild this amazing shoe.
