So i have this bottega veneta make up bag i just got used. but it's covered in lipstick stains etc on the inside. the inside IS cloth.

what is the best way to get these stains out?

its not like you can throw it in the wash, its LEATHER on the outside.

HELP HELP

I've heard of ladies in the LV forum using magic eraser to get stains out, but I'm not sure how well it would work with canvas. Sorry, I'm not of more help!

I personally do not know either. All I can say is take to a professional leather bag cleaner. At least they are used to handling leather bags with all sorts of lining inside. Hence, unlikely to damage your bag.

see can you see the stains?

Can you turn it inside out with the lining pulled away from the leather, and then spot clean it with some sort of detergent and a damp cloth? I would also try taking it to a trusted dry cleaner for advice. They may know how to spot clean difficult items like this.
