Someone please help! I got some black pen marks on the faux suede of my drummed mini luggage. Does anyone know how I can remove the marks?
Any tips on caring for Celine's exotic skins like ayers, python, etc?
I think I have posted this here before, it is on my blog:
CLEANING AND CARING FOR SUEDE HANDBAGS
So, how do you to protect, clean, and remove stains from suede Celine bags?
eHow in the UK used has a video that shows you how to remove stains step-by-step
- Apply a protectant
- Brush regularly with a firm, stiff brush
- Clean with an unscented baby wipe
- Use a dry eraser to remove stains
- Keep it dry and stuff with tissue when not using
Here is a link http://www.ehow.co.uk/video_5996057_clean-suede-handbag.html
They also have an article on cleaning colored suede http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_6926770_clean-colored-suede.html
Their resource was Mrs Clean, and this is a REALLY good article on removing stains http://www.housecleaningcentral.com/en/cleaning-tips/clothing/cleaning-suede.html
For all my natural leather bags (including my new celine smooth mini ) I condition them with "apple leather care" conditioner prior to use. For smooth calf and pebbled leather, I also spray with Collonil for waterproofing.

Does anyone know how to keep the shape of the luggage bags? My shoulder luggage has shown a teeny bit of sagging after a couple months and it's really upsetting

Do you stuff it when not in use? I think that helps a lot.
Jadpe said:How lucky was I today! I just used Collonil leather gel and waterstop spray on my luggage and today I got caught in a really heavy downpour. But my bag held up so well! I used a tissue for wiping off excess water (everybody must thought that I was nuts lol). The water that came off was a bit oily due to the leather gel. But now, a few hours later my bag is still in a perfect condition!
So I can recommend everyone to use a protection spray and conditioner! I do this with all my bags.
