I was touring a construction site today for work and accidently touched a wall with my purse. I didn't realize the wall was still wet! I got most of it off but there is still a little red tint to the leather. Ideas on how to get it off? I am just devastated. I LOVE this bag.

eeeek!!!

The only thing I can think of is paint thinner, but that may take up the dye in the leather.

Maybe Goof-Off??

Honestly, depending upon how intense it is, I would leave it alone, especially since it is black. If you try something strong enough to remove paint, the chances are good it will look worse. Can you post a photo?
