Hey all - I was wondering if there is anything I can do to remove a blue stain that seems to have appeared on a part of my new hayden harnett havana hobo in chalk. It's quite evident on the white leather! It seems either some color from shirt or my jeans seems to have rubbed off...has anyone else had a similar experience or know how to fix it?? I've only used my bag a few times and am so dismayed that it already has a giant blue stain on it. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

awww, that's very unfortunate, i am sorry to hear that. (note to self, no white bags for me.) but from what i've heard, leather cleaners such as applegarde or a plain old white eraser helped. I've read here on tpf that some other tpfers who own white purses have used a magic eraser or something close to that and got rid of the blue dye quite nicely. search the threads and im sure you can find something. again im really sorry and i hope everything will work out.
this happened to my Saddle Suki with a pair of black jeans and i used a white eraser on it with great results! that time i used just a no-name white eraser from the end of a pencil, but now i make sure all my bags have one of the Staedtler Mars plastic eraser in an inside pocket. i've used them on all kinds of stains (most notably, serious dark cobalt blue dye transfer on a Bulga from a cardboard box) and it generally works to get 90-95% of the stain off.
