Hi, I found this SpongeBob messenger bag in a yard sale and damaged the images when washing. The face got little parts of the vinyl (assuming) unstuck/peeling and some missing bits on the mouth, cheek, and an eye. The side of the bag had the logo almost completely disappear. It'd be cool to repair the logo but I'm more concerned about keeping his face intact.

How would you approach this? Iron it back down? Puffy paint? Paint markers? Embroidery? Something else? The bag says it is 55% ramie and 45% polyester. I'd mostly like it to look okay permanently, not necessarily reverse the damage, if that makes sense.
