Pen on a Leather Purse

Archives: Request: Pen on a Leather Purse Archived on 04/01/2009 I have pen marks on my Italian leather pocketbook. I tried using hairspray and a spot remover pen, but nothing has worked. The leather is soft, and the color is tan. The pen is black. Help. Priscilla from Hartford, CT Answers: RE: Pen on a Leather Purse Go to your local furniture store- tell them that you have ink on your leather and see if they can give you a cleaner. I have done this with several of my Coach and Dooney purses- works like a charm. (03/09/2009) By vcphillips RE: Pen on a Leather Purse A friend stayed over night and while I was making supper, let her young son draw all over my cream leather couch. She told me, "Oh, he writes on ours all the time, it just wipes right off!" Turns out hers is vinyl, not real leather. I scrubbed mine with Crest toothpaste (not the gel), it took me a couple of hours, but it all came out. I've used this on velvet dining room chair upholstery, as well. Must be the white paste, the colored paste will leave the color behind.

Stephanie from Boonton, NJ Answers: RE: Pen on a Leather Purse I have a cream leather purse I got pen on. I read the blog and used acetone. Do not use this! I bleached out the leather around the stain so I now have pen stains with white areas surrounding it on my cream leather. (04/25/2008) By angry RE: Pen on a Leather Purse I had ink on my new smooth red leather Liz purse. I used a Q-tip dipped in alcohol. Rubbed area till ink was gone. It worked marvelously! Didn't discolor at all. I put a dab of Vaseline on and rubbed all over and wiped lighly off. Hope this works for you. I thought it was a miracle. (05/07/2008) By leslie-caron RE: Pen on a Leather Purse Mr. Clean Magic Eraser was horrible advice! Do not use! Turned a little pen mark on my Marc Jacobs bag to a pen mark with a dulled leather blotch around it. Do not use! (05/11/2008) By Michanne RE: Pen on a Leather Purse Fab idea! I read your note to use Spray and Wash to get ink out of a coach purse. I tried my Spray and Wash stain stick and it did the trick!! (06/14/2008) By Sue RE: Pen on a Leather Purse I tried a sharpened typing eraser, the white one with the brush on the end. 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. (08/14/2008) By Stngray RE: Pen on a Leather Purse 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!

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! (06/25/2007) By debbie RE: Pen on a Leather Purse ISOPROPYL (RUBBING ALCOHOL) Dab generously on the ink mark with a cotton ball leave for 15- 20 mins. Then rub off with some more rubbing alcohol. (08/05/2007) By Report Spam or Abuse Request: Pen on a Leather Purse Archived on 05/27/2006 Someone at my workplace drew a huge line of blue pen on my light pink, leather Juicy Couture bag. 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. Good Luck (06/15/2006) By Susan, Estero Florida Pen on a Leather Purse Don't try hairspray, that's mostly for clothes not expensive brand bags.

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!
