so I have an old light up purse. It has two modules glued inside. One stopped working 2 years ago even with new batteries, the other died too last night. I want to replace them with new lights but I'm not sure what to buy because of course the top would have to screw into the bottom, but I can't find this exact module for sale (does 2019-3-5 mean anything? does it matter?). I don't think the bottoms can be removed without seriously damaging the purse so I need to find something that fits.

a member of jpop group pinponpanpon wore these and they aren't from the brand she's modelling for here if that helps. when i try using reverse image search all i get are ugly leggings :(

I know you cant restore pleather, but is there anything you would do to make the soles less ugly if you really loved a pair of shoes that are perfectly fine otherwise? especially the sandals, because the front obviously shows, and I really don't want to get rid of them (whole shoe is real leather except, for some reason, the toe of the soles)

I want to peel it all off so I don't have pieces of plastic sticking to my feet, but can I make them look better? maybe dye the fabric underneath black? and for the sandals, is there any kind of finish I could put on to get some shine back?
