So I just purchased my first Jimmy Choo a used Riki. I found out on here yesterday that it's the mink drummed leather. It's quite dirty and I am wondering the best way to clean it? I thought about sending it to a professional. I did contact L.M.B. for an estimate, which was quite a bit more than I wanted to spend. I am wondering if I can try anything on my own first, or if I should take it to my local leather shop to have it looked at, or if I should bite the bullet and send it to L.M.B. for a facelift. Any suggestions?

This should go in the FAQs sub....moving now.

Did you get it yet?

Nope not yet. I actually talked to LMB this morning and ordered some cleaner so I am hoping it will work good.

I would have it done professional - but I'm really picky about my bags.
I guess its hard to say until you see the bag in person :)
