Getting transfer dye out of bags is a tricky thing. Sometimes it works with cleansers and conditioners and sometimes not. But I wouldn't even attempt it with a metallic finish bag for fear of the finish wearing off (which sometimes happens on it's own anyway). A proffessional I think is your only hope but it can be quite expensive. Lovinmybag can probably do it but your looking at maybe 200 bucks :-(
