Stained or frayed bags? Stained pillowcases?

Bags
I just read the website of handbag lab.com
What they do is wonderful, remove stain and dye, re-stitch, restore corners with the wire showing through. The only thing missing is the cost. They are aiming at people with very expensive to buy and replace designer bags.

Shoes
My shoes in Singapore, if they have composition heels, frequently crumble.
Local cobblers could only sell me half soles and heels. So I've bought glue and stick on soles online. It's a lot of work, cutting the sole to fit, sticking.

How do you stop the guy sticking your fingers to your thumbs?

Wear protective waterproof gloves, and use the s p a t u l a supplied.

Stained Cottons
Cotton pillow cases and underwear and blouses can be dyed to a darker colour, from white with yellow or brown patches to red or blue. So long as you don't mind a mottled effect. I have a whole sets of matching underwear and bedding using dyes.
