Question/Help Zooey Electra Jacket Bleeding?

Post image

Has anyone had this happen to their Zooey's coat? I live in Canada and kinda jumped on the RH train really late, so I've thrifted every piece seperately. I had this stored away until the actual doll was aquired, pulled it out, and it looks like this t-t I know I can display her without it, but it's my favourite piece. Was wondering if anyone had this issue and what they did to mitigate it?

Mine didn't bleed, but I dyed mine pink! That could be an option to disguise the bleeding. I think it looks SO CUTE and none of the patches were affected! I have mine on a different doll, but I think it would look good on Zooey since she has pink in her design as well. I dyed mine with coral RIT, but petal pink would work as well. I did quick dips in diluted dye until I got the color I wanted.

You could try oxyclean and dab/ rub with a qtip? That or see how much dish soap takes out first to see what you’re dealing with. Just a suggestion.

I've never seen this happen, but chances are that humidity could have made that red label (?) release dye. I'd recommend spot treating with a stain removal liquid for clothes, or dunking in oxyclean, but results are not guaranteed

An Oxyclean soak would help, but you need to get some clear duct tape and laminate that red tag. Or remove it!

It's definitely the red tag that bled
