My sister and I had a couple of old leather purses that were good quality but looking a little worse for wear. We both used strong rit dye - just soaked the purse in it and then hung it up to dry. That was years ago and the color has not faded. This would only work for a small item, tho.
Don't use a paint on real leather! I used to work with real leather (not pleather); make sure to clean first, make sure it is dry, only then should you stain it. It can look brand-new.
