I dont think by washing will help at all. I will go for first option though..

I have a Guidi messenger bag (M10?) and the dye continues to rub off onto clothing

Would appreciate any advice on how to fix this. Thank you.

I'd talk to a leather specialist/cleaner, both for the bag and for the clothes.

I think it's primarily because the dye hasn't 100% set. I'd put it in a warm dry place like an airing cupboard for a couple of days and let the leather dry out. Alternatively, leave it out in the sun if the weather permits.

I don't think there's really much to say. The designs are competent and the quality is ok. Nothing really interesting though.

Yes they are quite bland, I just need something that's 'versatile' and reliable for now that isn't expensive

I think their sneakers are their best offerings.

it may, if the problem is excess dye. but yeah, if there's a specialist cleaner nearby, i agree that might be a better option...

(almost don't want to know if successful- I knew about the product and had three pieces waiting )

If you need it that much maybe try a forwarding address?

Clarks desert boots actually comes to mind, but if it must be sneakers, why not just buy your self a pair of Converse? they won't "fall apart" like I hear exaggerated all the time.

but if ballers gotta ball, Lanvin sneakers seem like the better choice. There are so many new ones you can buy for cheap once they're on sale, or on sites like ebay, Grailed, and such.

What is the difference between mainline and drkshdw pod shorts? Given that some of the mainline shorts are also 100% cotton if I'm not mistaken.


cheers

Lanvin lows look like garbage, and the achilles is slightly cheaper. most people that even notice think my CPs just look like fancy vans anyway. if you want something that's versatile and cheap buy vans, you can wear the shit out of them and they look best that way.

Is Devoa known for using both the 1,2,3 sizing as well as European (44, 46)?
