I always had success with getting rid of pen marks from synthetic fabric liners by using plain alcohol. It doesn't matter whether it's technical or food grade, both work fine. If there're too many and/or they are big, I don't even bother with the q-tips and just poor some on the stain and rub - in my experience, that kind of fabric takes it well. Just be careful not to get it on the leather.

Thoughts and prayers, please for my latest acquisition, a grievously abused putty 1995 Court bag. She’s in mostly excellent condition, few signs of previous use, leather is soft and supple, but someone wrote “Vintage $30” right down the middle of her front flap in permanent red marker!!!
To add insult, the seller shipped her in a too small bubble envelope, smashing up her shape and adding creases.
Rubbing alcohol didn’t do much for the ink, and was removing the dye, so I’ll try something else, if anyone has any ideas. After that, I’ll head to the Coach store and see about adding some embellishments.

I wonder if they wrote in red on tape and it bled through? Anyway, watch out for alcohol, it took the dye right out of my Tods bag. I have never tried this on leather, so use with caution, but for dolls with ink problems they suggest globbing on whitening toothpast, leaving it dry and scrapping it off, repeating as needed. Might work on leather.

Absolutely! You think they would know that but the minute you don’t tell them, they ship in the priority envelope. As soon as you see your like “Oh no!” My green prairie was shipped like that, surprisingly I got lucky this time, the seller was in my state but I still ended up with cigarette smoke.

I just received my stegosaurus coin purse in a priority envelope! [emoji82] Luckily he survived the transit. What is wrong with some people! SMH.

I received a red Willis on Monday that was in a plain unpadded plastic envelope with no wrapping or anything. Just stuffed in the envelope. I am so glad it wasn't damaged! It's a 15 year old bag that looks like it has never been carried. I may have cried a little if the half-wit seller had damaged a pristine 2004 Costa Rican Willis. SMDH too.
