Stain on Leather Bag!

elisa_p · May 27th, 2008, 10:56 AM

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but i just (as in a week ago!) bought a beautiful little Gucci bag which is white. I had it out with me yesterday night and it was near my friends bag. I'm not sure how but this morning it looks to have little blue stains on it. I'm horrified!
Is there anything i can do to clean it? Should it just take it to a professional? Please help!

You may want to post this in the Gucci forum. Have you tried a baby wipe?

Sounds like color transfer. You can try apple or coach leather cleaner to see if it will help, but it may smear the stain worse. You can send it to lovingmybags and they can probably fix it for you but it takes a while. You may want to send Barbara a picture and see if she thinks one of her products might help.

Yeah, I was going to suggest color transfer and LMB too, but Lionlaw beat me too it.

Sorry to hear about your bag. Hope it gets worked out!

Good news! I went to walmart and found some really good leather wipes (i think it's called Weimann Leather Wipes)and it cleaned off almost all of the dye transfer. I'm SO happy. I'm going to clean it again in a couple of days but i think the bag should be fine. I really like the wipes and they're very easy to use with no mess.

Thanks for all the help!

I have some MacGuires leather cleaner for the leather seats in our car and that works sooooo great on the white leather, that if anything gets on any of my bags, I think I'll try some of that on them. Glad everything worked out for you!

That's great! Did you find the wipes in the shoe section?
