Wanted to let you all know that I have been playing with Leather Master Ink Killer and have found it to be no better than rubbing alcohol :( I was hoping it would be the answer, but it removes a lot of color and it takes a lot of it to remove ink that is more than a trace line. I am still finding the best solution to be "painting" over the ink.

Sadly, I am finding this too. The Lincoln e-z cleaner was a disappointment too. I don't have a solution to ink on suede - you can't paint suede.

I have only dunked Dooney AWL before, and not coated canvas (which this is, yes?). I think, however, that if you are allegic to cats and you are reacting to this bag, the only way you are going to stand a chance of using it is to soak it. I don't think a surface cleaning will be enough to get rid of the allergens.

I probably would *not* scrub at the surface of the bag, because you would run the risk of damaging the coating on the canvas.

Good luck!

so my mom always said "no ? is a dumb ?"........am I supposed to condition the inside part of my vintage leather handbag. My first rehab is just about done and ready for pictures when I realized that I never conditioned (Leather CPR or Apple) the inside, suede part - was I supposed to? It feel soft enough and doesn't seem dry. TIA!

You don't put conditioner on the suede parts.

Happy Valentine's Day Ladies!! Got a doosey on my hands and a damn good man I might add! So apparently DH is more attentive and thoughtful than I thought and my V-Day gifts are a direct link to my new found rehab hooby! But ohhhh boy he found a tough one! I hope you ladies can help me out a bit, its a dooney set not coach so i dont know how familair you'll all be with the fabric and im almost afriad to start!

There is this strange white/cloudy discoloration on all three pieces, mostly where the bag bends perhaps the bag material separating from whatever the outside treatment is. Its almost vinyl feeling (blah) any ideas what this is what caused it or HOW TO FIX IT!!!

Secondly the shape of the bag has lost ALL intergity its just this floppy mess of dents and creases (certainly not nice coach leather) A dunk and stuff perhaps?

Lastly the leather.... oohhhh the discoloration =/ the straps and the tops and pieces are ten shades different from body oils (ewww typing that... someone elses body oils i need to wash my hands.. again) any chance that will clean? or should i get some oil/conditioner and try to darken it all to match?

DH, is really excited and proud for huntng this down and haggling the price from $60 for the set of three to $20 and has allll the faith in the world i will make it beautiful again =/ yikes! Adorable man, great gesture im actually quite smitten, in a way its sweeter than getting a new bag, because he knows how much fun I'll have, but i cant let him myself or the set itself down lol THE PRESSURE!!!
ANY help is good help!

PS. previous owner must have had cats... im so allergic everytime go near it, my eyes start itching and im miserable LOL

unfortunately, I own 2 dooneys that have lost their color on the coated canvas in these "weird" patches, like somebody splashed bleach on it. I keep meaning to post mine, hoping somebody else had good ideas. I know somebody else washed a bag, but I think it's hard to wash these since they aren't leather. As far as the discolored leather, just clean so you know they are clean even if the discolorations stay. I think hand oils don't ever go away. It's almost as if they trim their bags in vachetta leather which is meant to discolor and patina. sorry I am not much help. For $20 it sounds like you get to be the one who teaches us your newly learned lessons. ?

Got two bags in today! A white Penelope satchel with filthy lining and handles and piping poking or of one corner! The other I haven't taken pics of yet but it's that beautiful little vintage Madison satchel. Should be fun!
