Patrick, Do what you need to clean it then reapply wax treatment to return the fabric's water resistance.
I got wax in a paste form in a tin from Archival Clothing to retreat my Carradice Nelson Longflap. Their offering now is an Otter Wax bar, cheaper from the MUSA source: https://www.otterwax.com They also have a cleaner intended not to disrupt wax treatment but your bag looks like you need to clean as necessary then return to serviceability by reapplying wax, whether or not you opt to dye.
