Back to share my "review of Leather Master Ink Lifter. This is a camel colored Legacy zip that is my experiment bag.

Before:

Added ink (kind of made me cringe!):

In process, the product is quite oily:

Wiped down with a wet cloth and Lexol:

All dry-you can see a faint line still:

I let the ink sit for an hour before I went to work on it. While it didn't work perfectly, it also didn't remove any of the leather dye/color. I am not sure about using it on new Coach, but it would be worth keeping around for accidentally getting ink on glove-tanned leather.

Interesting! It looks promising for newer ink stains. Your other post about it not helping with an old ink stain is sad :(

I have 2 bags that I'm rehabbing right now with god-knows-how-old blue and black ink marks. I may try painting/using shoe polish to cover them. Has anyone here tried that?

While we're on the topic, is getting ink stains out of white leather pretty much never going to happen? I can usually get ink stains out of the linings but everything I have tried on the outside hasn't worked. I recently got my mom a beautiful white older coach purse. Well, she decided she didn't want it any more and gave it back to me (I was kinda sad) What made me more sad was the pen ink all over it. And I do mean all over, inside and out. I'll try to post pics later but does anyone have tricks for getting ink out of white leather?

Here is the url to my post abut using Soillove. All in all, I was happy with it...it seems to be better than everything else people have tried for ink on leather. as you can see from the pics, it did remove the ink stains (lines not huge blots) for the most part with some very light fading of the bag.......let me go look at it a week later......okay, just VERY slight fading....and i was VERY aggressive - old scrubby sponge (still had some abrasion on it) and scrubbed because it was an inside flap........

This is one of my latest rehab jobs. I think it came out pretty well! I did soak it briefly to reshape it a little. I didn't want to get crazy with it, though, because this style of handle often has some sort of fiberous inner that softens when wet, (learned that the hard way once). This bag has sat in my to-do pile since before Christmas.

No idea. I have a black on black siggie that has faded to a brownish color. I am considering getting some black Rit dye and dipping it to restore the black. The trick is to keep it off the lining. I wonder if I should use the batik technique of wax?
