So funny because I have a pair of Minnetonka mocasins that have seen better days. Now that winter is coming again I think I will get them out and wash them, thanks!

I just cleaned and sprayed some shoes. The suede eraser and brush are amazing! My pink birkies are pink again after a summer of puttering around the yard (not real yard work). I have some Taos booties that I've had since college, gotta dig them out from the back of the closet. :p

I have a pair of white Minnetonka Mocs that have been through the washer more than once. Pretty sure I bought them in the early 80's and they are the exact same style as my new pair (which I bought about 10 years ago...lol)

I am so upset! My daughter got a hold if one if my lip stains and colored all over the front of my new legacy duffle. It is a lip stain, not a lipstick and I can barely get it all off my lips so I would guess I am out of luck. Magic eraser doesn't work and a tries.

Magic eraser doesn't work and I tried a mix of dawn and ocyclean and that didn't work either.

Oh no! I would be upset too. :-( I don't know it it will work, but if it were my bag I would try liquid hand sanitizer. The clear I unscented kind. I was able to remove some dark dye from the front of a cream colored leather bag with it. Good luck!

Just got this Stewardess and have a few concerns. Overall great condition to inside leather. The piping is a little worn.

Two white spots - whiteout? On inside.

And a weird sweet smell. Not like mildew but more like incense or flowers. I will ask the seller.

Appreciate your thoughts on taking it on - I can return it but I am tempted to keep it.

Oh no! What color is the bag? I'd be very careful with sanitizer, at least test it out somewhere hidden first, as it could take the color off the bag also. I'd try soap and water first, as scary as it sounds...but can we see a picture before you do anything too drastic?

ledobe is absolutely right about testing before using sanitizer. I had nothing to lose because I'd already tried everything else and the bag could not be used as it was. :-/

It will probably rehab very well with a nice bath. I gave a bath to a unlined leather bag that smelled like perfume or incense and it took care of the odor. I also bathed a bag that looked like a bottle of whiteout had spilled inside of it, and it all just dissolved away in the bath.

If you search this forum will find lots of before and after pics of Stewardess bag rehabs, hear are mine:
