OH NOOOOO ...Please Help!!!

[nelliesa]

If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it......I have an LV Denim bag and due to financial issues I've decided to sell it but I just realized that i got a pen mark on the inside. I know that the pen mark is new......Does anyone know what i can do to get the mark out????? The inside is that yellowish denim and its perfectly clean except for the pen mark which is really disturbing. PLEASE hELP!!!!!

I don't have any LV bags, but did you try using soap and water, or even a Tide-to-Go pen?

I have an LV Black MC Alma and I got pen mark on the inside of that and I used plain old shaving cream .... just rubbed it on with my finger and it came right out .... not sure what material your bag is tho ???

If it's yellow alcantara, it could be difficult, as it could bleed even more...if it's the yellow microfiber, you could try a little spritz of hairspray on a Q-tip and gently blot it out.....or you could just bring it to your local LV boutique and see what advice they could give you....good luck !!

I don't have any specific advice, but just want to console you in that a mark on the insight is way less damaging for resale value than on the outside (I know you know that, I just want to remind you of that when you're trying to get it out).

I would def consult LV and ask how they recommend cleaning. You are def not the first person do have done this, and hopefully they will have a solution! And a pen mark on the inside is def better than having one on the outside!

I managed to get some ink stains off of my Beverly MM using an eraser, but that could be because the bag was new.

Here's a couple websites that might be helpful:

Also, if it is the Alcantara Suede Lining:

I hope you get the stain out. HTH

It's true?

Maybe this should be in the LV subforum?
