Help with Vernis!

[Miss Kris]

Hi everyone! I have been searching the forum for over an hour and can't really find any direct answers to this question. Is there a way to get a surface pen mark off of vernis leather? I have read that magic eraser may be too harsh, and the same goes for alcohol. I have also read that a regular rubber eraser could work, but wouldn't that scuff away the shine of the vernis?

Mods, if this belongs in a different place, please move! Thanks!!

I hate to say it but I am pretty sure it is permanent.


Your dog is so cute!!!

LOL thanks.. he's a handfull though!!

So, does anyone know of a method for me to try to remove the pen or is it definitely impossible?

I was curious about this so I checked out youtube' but only found things for permanent marker some used hairspray other used deodorant like lynx, have a look there!

Here's a thread on cleaning Vernis - http://forum.purseblog.com/louis-vu...-works-vernis-scuffs-before-after-108231.html

Hairspray works on pen marks on canvas - perhaps you could give that a try as well ?

Thanks for that! Do you think te alcohol in hairspray may remove the finish from the vernis though? Same with magic eraser since it is so abrasive? I guess I can try on the bottom of the bag first before I try on the front

I got print from a label on a vernis cosmetic case -- found a thread in here somewhere that recommended non-acetone nail polish remover. I tried that -- it didn't remove the print, but didn't hurt the finish on the vernis either -- maybe that would work for you.

^^^They will tell you sorry we cant do anything, thats just what happens to vernis if you arent careful with it!

I had a vernis wallet and it had some small marks here and there and I was never able to remove them.

I had a Vernis Houston and tried to remove the pen mark with non-acetone nail polish remover, but it ruined it. It left a very dark mark around it. I didn't try the alcohol, as I got scared after using the nail polish remover. I agree with the other ladies here that a pen mark is permanent. I'm so sorry.

Yea, I am too nervous to try the nail polish remover I think. Something about it just doesn't seem right!

Could you test whatever remover you think might help in a little spot on the bottom? That way you could check & if it removed color it wouldn't be seen?

Yes, I think I am going to do that. I will probably try magic eraser first, then alcohol, then nail polish remover
