Will the black rub off on my dress? I really want a dark color bag to hide the color of my wedding dress while I store it, but will it rub off?

I used it for my wedding dress and it did not rub off. I traveled with it from St. Louis to St. Lucia and back. It worked well for me.

I used it with my wedding dress (it was a shimmery silver) and I didn't have any problems. The material isn't something that feels like it might rub off.

My leather was dark brown. I read some of the testimonials and saw some comments about it not having a good effect on light leather. You might want to read the testimonials on honeyleather.com.

The bag is a thick dark mesh so its not as transparent as most bags. You can also wrap you undergarments in a towel or shirt if you want to further protect them. I love my bag and you will too!

It "might" rub off but somehow I doubt it. Test it on a scrap piece of leather- the cost to buy it is minimal, what do you lose? You might apply two coats, then use a leather cleaner or saddle soap. It won't rub off after that.

I agree with Capt. Kevin. I have never had it "ruin" anything so if it were my Coach bag, I would not hesitate to try it, but just to be safe... do as the good Capt. suggests and try an inconspicuous area first. Is the bag a suede type of leather -- open pored? If so, I would *not* try it as any liquid will only absorb further into that type of leather. Get a cleaner specifically for suede leather. But if it is a smooth leather, I would definitely use Meguiars.

It's a little grayish so the black will probably be seen through, but if you have a black then why not order the black one? I also ordered a black and it's pretty black. - Just a thought.

I received the wrong Malta when I ordered this so my answer might not be correct about this item. But the mala I received appeared to be sealed with a gloss or stain so I doubt it does get darker.

Never had it rub off on my clothes. There is a smell afterward but its not bad. This product works fasr. I highly recommend it. I do use a second product, luminary, on my face. Never have used paint it black on my face.

My advice for what it is worth: Since my fiasco with Black Jacket (it kept coming off the leather and staining my clothing, chairs, etc.), I have learned quite a bit about various types of leather and leather jackets. My suggestion would be to try Pecard's leather conditioning on a small area that is not visible and see if it helps. The Pecard's might temporarily darken the leather a little but it eventually should return to normal. If you use Pecard's, follow the directions -- you are supposed to let it soak into the leather for at least 24 hours, if I recall correctly. If the black stuff is coming off the jacket now (try scraping a fingernail across it), don't use anything. Instead, bring it to a professional leather cleaners and they probably will have to clean it before you do any kind of treatment. For further research, check a web site forum called the "Fedora Lounge." In the section on outwear, they have a lot of information about leather jacket issues. Hope this helps. Good luck.

It actually depends on the leather/dye. I have used it on my Coach Legacy and Madison bags without any change. I used it on my D&B Florentine and LV bags on untreated vachetta and it did darken the leather. I hope this helps.

Whenever in doubt, test it on a small part first. Wait a day and see if it fades or rubs off. Color is not a property of the leather but of the dye used. The product itself is great on all the leather items I've used it on. I doubt if you will have a problem but caution if the dyed leather was manufactured outside US.

The cart is really nice and it's a deep dark chocolate color. It looks black when the lights are turn down, however if the light on high the dark chocolate comes out. All my furniture is espresso finish and it matches really well. I think it will look nice with your black furniture however if you into matching it might bother you that is not completly black. I hope this help.

I have pulled this off after a day or two and it didn't leave anything...but it did when I pulled it off a couple months later. It is supposed to be permanent and I was after a couple of months as I had to work it get it all off and thankfully I was covering it up again so for me it didn't really matter. I had it on a vinyl binder. Hope that helps.

No it does not come off, that's why I stayed with a dark color. It's wonderfully comfortable though.

I did not use this on shoes, I used it only dressage saddle. Then used the restolene to seal it. After rubbing and sweating and the occasional rain, my white breeches do not have black on them.

It won't melt the bag, but you are unlikely to get a good seal so moisture will probably get to it anyway. Mine are always a little damp from condensation and don't seem to be any the worse for wear.

Its actually a fairly heavy bag. Thr key thing wirh it is to request the lightest color possible. If you makr no request thr bag will show up VERY dark.If say its about 5 pounds empty.
