I wore my hillier when I was wearing dark jeans and the color transferred onto the bottom of the bag! its on the inner side of the bag (not the nameplate side), but it still looks horrible when the bag is off ...is there anything at all I can do to fix this without runing the leather?? Thank you!

Denim transfer is very hard to remove, especailly with the soft MbMJ leather and the light saddle color. I don't think there's much you can buy that will fix this. Maybe some conditioner/cleaner may help remove some of the color?

Other than that, you probably need it to be professionally cleaned in order to get rid of all the color. I'm sorry it happened to you

I guess we need to be super careful with light colored bags, especially since MbMJ leathers are not treated so they soak up pretty much everything they come in contact with.

I have denim transfer on my petal pink Anouk, ouch ...
I bought a leather cleaning kit at Delvaux ( a Belgian luxury handbag brand, since we don't have much other brands here) and it's not gone completely after first trying to get it off, but it's already much much better.

Oh no! I am so sorry. I worry about dye transfer a lot with lighter bags. I hope you can find a way to take it off - good luck!

I've used apple conditioner and cleaner to remove denim transfer from most of my bag... though this is most effective when you FIRST make the stain... as opposed to a few days afterwards.
