I had a bottle of water leak inside my leather holdall, and after leaving it to dry out for most of th day, it's left these tide mark stains, just wondered if anyone knows if they can be shifted, either with a particular product or by taking it to some kind of leather specialist? Or even just by waiting longer and letting time do it's thing? PXL_20220729_195203776.jpg PXL_20220729_195154293.jpg

I'd try giving the entire bag a good layer (or two) of moisture with Saphir products for e.g. as conditioning the leather makes it darker and the water mark would not be so distinct.

Saphir is also quite active on Instagram and I have reached out to them several times to ask advice on how to use their products and even showed photos of my shoes and other leather goods. They have been very helpful and always had a solution to my problems so maybe you could also contact them with these photos. I'm sure they know what to do :)
