we tried the nail polish remover...it removed the ballpen mark but it also made the spot white...now he's trying the eraser thing...

i think ill just bring it to a shop here that says they restore/clean leather bags....

mbarbi · Nov 11, 2010

after an hour....

those that have white marks...the stains were tried to remove with the nail polish remover...most of them were tried to remove with the eraser...

what do you think???

mere girl · Nov 11, 2010

ouch! take it to a bag hospital quickly....poor you - that does look in a little bit of a sorry state.

Lovin My Bags is in New York now. If anyone can make your bag good as new, Gary can. I don't know if the cost of all that shipping is affordable for you, but if it is, here is a link for them. You can email photos and see what they say. Good luck!

i removed ballpenmarks on a leatherbag with hairspray, i sprayed the hairspray on and then took a bunch of cleanex immediately to absorb the spray together with the ballpoint

it worked with my bag, but of course I cannot guarantee the outcome on other bags

YIKES ! never use an eraser , you are literally changing the leather consistency and rubbing colors out in chunks! also if the eraser is dirty, all that will rub onto AND into the leather !

immediately send the bag to Lovin' My Bags, Barbara is AMAZING and can do anything for the bags to restore to its original condition !

JUST STOP TOUCHING THE BAG TO MAKE IT WORSE hehe :smile:
