I'd be really surprised if there is a way to remove those marks from white patent leather without damaging the finish as it looks like they have really 'soaked in'. The best you could probably do is to cover them with white refinisher which would make them less noticeable from a distance. Someone else may have some suggestions.Any recommendation on how to clean these marks from the Coach bag?
So far I tried magic eraser and tooth paste but no luck. I took it to Coach store as well and they don't have any recommendation for me.
Thanks for reading!

I agree. I don't think there is any way to clean them off. It looks like you have already removed some of the shine. I would try to cover them with paint and then maybe paint a gloss over the top.
I don't know if there is a type that would work better than another since I don't have much experience with patent leather. I was thinking of the craft paints you can get at Walmart or a hobby store like Joann's, similar to these: http://www.amazon.com/Plaid-PROMOAB...F8&qid=1388216283&sr=8-4&keywords=craft+paint
You may or may not need a separate gloss depending on how glossy the paint is. The gloss is sometimes called varnish and would be available in the same place as the paint.

Yeah, my hubby thinks I'm a nut-job, but he does appreciate Coach style and quality...and, best of all, when I'm happy...he's happy!
Just putting it out there, would rubbing alcolol worrk? I have never thrived it though do I'm not sure! Google luck!
I know this is a long shot, but would anyone know where to buy a hang tag that says "coach leatherware" In black? I have a vintage NYC bag and I would like a NYC tag to go with! Looking on ebay and etsy with no luck! Ugh! Thanks for your help!
One more question... How would you go about removing a pen mark from orange leather (I don't think it is smooth leather, but I don't have the bag with me right now..it is not suede I'm not sure what kind of leather it is. I will check when I get home) should I just leave it? I would be very sad if I wrecked it
any suggestions? I will post pics of the bag later
any suggestions? I will post pics of the bag laterThey don't make them anymore so you just have to keep looking. I think there are more vintage bags around than hangtags to match. I think a lot of the old hangtags got thrown away.
Coach will send you a hangtag free of charge if you call their 800 number. Give them the # that is in the creed and the color and they will do their best. Not original mind you, but a hangtag nonetheless.
I think the old hangtags are really hard to find. Lots of my vintage bags are missing them. I asked today at my full price boutique if they had any extra hangtags, and I hit the mother load. They brought out a big ziplock bag full of them and let me go through them. I ended up with a bunch to match the bags I have that are missing hangtags.
