Pen on a Leather Purse

RE: Pen on a Leather Purse Post By melanie (Guest Post) (11/07/2008) I have a black leather bag that I just got and black pen got on it. How do I get off? I see it in the reflection of the light. It is new and I don't want to remove the color. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Pen on a Leather Purse Post By Irene (Guest Post) (10/09/2008) OMG. I'm so upset. I got blue ink stain from a bleeding pen on my white, Chanel purse. I panicked, so I went to the bathroom, took a cotton ball and put some nail polish remover. As soon as I tried to salvage my purse, the ink bled and it spread out a big part of my purse. I don't know what else to do. Help! Don't ever use nail polish remover!

Any ideas of what to do now. Thank you Paula Report Spam or Abuse RE: Pen on a Leather Purse Post By sue (Guest Post) (09/12/2008) I tried the hairspray advice and the rubbing alcohol also and nothing so far has worked. I love my coach wallet, it matches my purse. Please help!!!!!!!!!

I tried the RUBBING ALCOHOL on a QTIP and it WORKED! It was so quick and it looks like new again! I even used it on the suede interior and it worked, but just make sure to dab it only where you need to, then blot up the wet spot with cloth.

It worked pretty well, but still left a light hint of the stain, so I used a colored pencil the same color as the leather and lightly went over it. It takes a very artistic touch to stay only on the stain area. Afterward, buff it. This worked for my Cole Haan shoe, but they were not shiny leather. Good luck.

I used it on my brand new dooney and bourke very soft smooth tan leather purse. it took almost all of the ink out. One mark was black and one was blue. These marks were not made by me so the individuals who made them are lucky the alcohol worked! Hope this helps! P.S. I wouldn't use the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser...it is far too harsh a cleaner for leather!

Ended up making a blue pen mark on it. Need help, don't wanna make it worse! People told me to use nail polish remover, acetone, baby wipes, but I feel it's too risky.

I tried my Spray and Wash stain stick and it did the trick!!

I bleached out the leather around the stain so I now have pen stains with white areas surrounding it on my cream leather.

Mark from UK Answers: RE: Pen on a Leather Purse I got pen marks on my cream colored leather purse. Just sprayed a tiny bit of hairspray on it and it immediately bled, so now I have a big blue tinted blotch on my new purse. DON'T USE HAIRSPRAY!! I hope someone can learn from my mistake! (04/06/2007) By Tiffany RE: Pen on a Leather Purse I just removed a 2 inch black ink stain completely from an ivory Coach leather bag using a q-tip dipped in spray-n-wash. I rubbed gently with a circular motion, wiped with a damp cloth, and followed with leather cleaner to remove any residue. You would never know the stain was there. Might work on your bag! (05/30/2007) By Kelly RE: Pen on a Leather Purse I had a ballpoint ink stain on my WHITE coach wallet and it was terrible! I used acetone to take it off and it worked but theres a small hint of where the stain was and i think the acetone may have removed some of my leather. But it looks better than a ballpoint ink stain!

I can't get it out. I tried hairspray, but it started to discolor the leather. Does anyone know what I can do to save it? Thanks, Allie from Ohio Answers: RE: Pen on a Leather Purse I had l large blue ink biro mark on my Prada beige leather bag and on the inside loads of them caused by a friend borrowing and leaving a lid off pen inside. I used acetone on a cotton bud and repeatedly rubbed gently waited to dry and continued. It worked. You can then use saddle soap or mink oil to put the oils back in the leather but mink oil will darken the leather just a touch. Try on the inside somewhere first. The oils will protect your bag from water marks anyway if you go out in the rain.

Thank you, Chris Answers: RE: Removing Ink From Leather Purse 09/28/2004 Try the Mr. Kleen Magic Eraser - it's like a miracle magic wand for cleaning. I can't believe all the stains it has removed. Good luck By nanalori RE: Removing Ink From Leather Purse 09/30/2004 Try hairspray By Shirley (Guest Post) RE: Removing Ink From Leather Purse 12/01/2004 Unfortunately, because leather is extremely porous, any solvent you chose runs the risk of damaging the outside finish, or flushing the ink color into a big blotch on the leather. Since the mark is on the inside I would leave it. However, you may contact the Tandy Leather Compnay in Fort Worth for advice. Using a very small amount of alcohol, or acetone, followed by aggressive pressure and blotting may remove most of it, but will cause the stain to bleed. Be careful, and seek out a professional. Coach is worth it. By Darrell (Guest Post) RE: Removing Ink From Leather Purse 09/24/2005 Hi, I am no expert of course, but what about trying an Armour-All wipe? Good Luck!
