hi everyone! i found this vintage stewardess bag at a flea market last weekend. i’ve never rehabbed any bags or leather products before, but i feel like she has potential!

a few questions:

• what’s the best way to get rid of pen marks/ink stains?
• i’m not sure if the dark marks inside the bag is mold or ink. any thoughts?
• i’ve been looking into getting leather filler/glue to fix the torn piping. it seems like i’ll then need to paint over the filler. does anyone have recommendations for a paint color? i haven’t been able to figure out what color the bag is.

thanks for any help! i’m excited to start this project!
