I'm sorry! I'd be upset too. Maybe you can add some embellishments to the area to cover up the ink? Like studs, or an applique?
Since it is a light color, you could try the acne cream technique described somewhere in this thread. You just put the acne cream only on the ink, avoiding getting it on any of the surrounding area, then put it in the sun. Search through the thread to find it.
Wow - I thought it was over the top to try to even ask for $75 for a ripping bag, but didn't realize this whole scam was going on! Good thing I checked with folks here. Thanks for saving me money and a big headache!
Hi Everyone
Newbie question alert !
Was wondering what methods or products you all would recommend to
refresh/lightly clean Coach Sonoma/pebbled leather vintage bags?
The bags have been dunked & washed, treated with Leather Therapy and finished with Blackrock per all of your generous advise. They turned out great, but are now looking just a little dull from lots of use....
TIA!

Do you mean that it has been awhile since you rehabbed? If that is the case, I would just do another treatment of Blackrocks. It wears off.
Thanks!
It's been only 6 months or so since I rehabbed the bags I use the most.
Do you think the Blackrock would wear off in that time?
I was thinking the dullness may just be dirt from being handled....
Yes it wears off, probably sooner than that. The Sonomas tend to look dull. I like the extra shine Blackrocks gives them. There might be other products that last longer but might not be good for the leather.
Anyone have any preference as to the relative merits of products? I have used Lexol and Blackrocks with success but was thinking of buying Leather CPR and Obenauf's.
I like Leather CPR better than Lexol. I use Lexol when I want a thin product to mix with paint, but I use Leather CPR as my main moisturizer. I have Obenaufs and use it but I don't know how much of a difference it makes. Sometimes it doesn't soak in and leaves a white powder residue. I think I like mink oil better for really dry leather.
