Possible to lighten my new leather shoes?

[Dark Passenger]

Hi there,


i've got a new pair of H by Hudson tan leather shoes which are very nice shoes by the way. However by the time ordering them over the internet i thought they would be much more bright than they actually are. By now I know they all have this dark look (more or less because each pair is kind of unique) and the bright one was probably an overexposed picture.


This is what I thought I would get:





And that's the real color. My pair is even slightly darker (and I already ordered twice...)


Any chance to get them a little brighter without destroying them? I'll keep them any way but I think they look much better on the first picture.
Looking forward to some answers.
