Cleaning a Fendi Mama Bag

klucenti · May 12th, 2008, 12:06 PM

I have an old Fendi Mama Bag in black which I think is made from jacquard fabric (not sure). It's about 6 years old. I spilled wax on it and am wondering whether the trick of using an iron and paper towel to absorb it off the fabric works in this case (with this jacquard fabric). Advice??
Thanks, Krista

Welcome to the forum. Not sure if that would work with this frabic. I'm thinking it would make it worse and spread the stain. You can have it professionally cleaned. Can you take a picture of the stain.

Before you attempt a self-clean, why not take it to a dry cleaner and ask their opinion first?

I would start with a Fendi store first... is there one in your area? They might have an option. I am uncertain of a dry cleaner dealing with wax on a bag? How much is on there?

there's quite a bit of wax there...and no Fendi store in Toronto....there is a drycleaner in Toronto that specializes in cleaning designer handbags so I think that may just drop it off...rather than risk ruining it. Thanks for confirming my hunch!
