So bummed... please help if you can. :(

So today I picked up my florentine satchel, and saw two dark spots on my bag! I have NO IDEA what happened. I am always careful with my bags, and I just don't know what happened. I tried rubbing the spots out with a dry, soft cloth, and nothing happened. I have no clue what the spots are.

Don't get me wrong, I know that purses eventually show wear & tear, but I have only had my bag for a month! What do y'all think I should do? Any advice?

That exact spot happened to my fuchsia and I never could get them out. Luckily they are only on the side and bottom-ish of the front, so they aren't very noticeable

Awww man I am sorry to hear, gatorgirl.

It's all good. I love my bag so much it doesn't bother me. Although, mine aren't in the front of the bag like yours are. Good luck

It can happen from rubbing on things, such as a coat or jeans. My natural vachetta satchel has a bit of that on the back from where it rubbed against my (pre-washed) jeans. I couldn't get it to go away either.

I am sorry... hopefully we can all find a solution for this!

I'd say contact Dooney's customer service and see what they recommend. Maybe mild soap on a damp cloth. Sorry about your bag.

Cool, I will do that tomorrow & see what they say! Thanks for your input.

It almost looks like an oily stain. You could try rubbing them with a little powder. It may not work, but I doubt it would hurt anything.

I am so sorry to hear that happened to your beautiful Florentine bag. I got 2 pen marks on one of my natural bags and the more I tried to get it out the worse it looked I eventually traded in in for a darker Florentine leather. I no longer have the natural for me it was too hard to keep nice looking.

Well I looked on Dooney's website, and their instructions for this bag say just to gently rub the spot with a very soft cloth for florentine leather. So I have been doing it quite a bit, and the spot DOES look a little less dark. It looks a little better. Maybe with time it will just blend in.
