I know someone else did this a while back, but I picked up this soho striped tote on ebay last week and it was a mess. I cleaned it up the way they did.. putting the whole bag in water with woolite and scrubbing with mr. clean magic erasers.

She is still not perfect, but there is a great improvement.. there was one pink stain on the bottom that I couldnt get out... And the leather will never be that light again but it's still not bad for 35.00+ shipping.:P

Amazing!! Did you mean you submerse the whole entire bag with leather trim and all in WATER?!

I am just so surprised that the leather didn't get discolored. You did an awesome job!!!

when i washed my scribble i submerged the whole thing in the bath tub( it was the only way!)
but as soon as it dried i slothered the leather in moisturizer, and it's fine.
i was scared at first but then i thought- if i paid this much for this bag- it should be made with the best materials and be able to sustain a little washing... and it did!
