I'm not an expert by any means but I have used Weiman Leather cleaner and Polish and Leather CPR. My Chloe bags are more porous leather than Marcie I think. These products don't seem to change the color of leather and I think both products are silicone free. Others rave about Blackrocks, Appleguard but I tend to buy locally. (Canada) If you have a cobbler, they will carry the better products. I saw you posted in the other thread so I hope this helps.
 
I used both applegard and collonil water/stain proofing spray on my Rainy blue marcie. I was concerned about getting stains on a light color like that, but i've used the bag for months and no stains! and the handles havent darkened as much as i thought. so i guess maybe the spray works!?

Hello, I also use collonil water/stain proofing spray but also treat my Marcie with bee wax from time to time ! It really softens the leather and keeps it nice, clean and smooth !!! From time to time, I clean it with a leather cleaner and afterwards treat it with baby oil and bee wax. I have the color Nude Pink and wear it for 3,5 years now. It still looks so beautiful !!! Hope that helps you !
 
Of course the day I decide to debut my beautiful Chloe Mini Marcie in blush nude there is a thunderstorm. My jeans have bled all over the bag and it's stained! Any advice on how to clean it?! I'm devastated!

Oh no! I am so sorry that this happened. :(
Did you try baby wipes (without alcohol)? What kind of leather is your Mini Marcie?
 
It's grained calfskin leather I believe. Baby wipes? Google suggested Magic Eraser but I thought I'd check here first. I'm so bummed!
I would give the baby wipes a try. Had good results with those (though not on a Chloe). Grained calfskin leather is pretty durable. Do not despair. I think you can resolve the problem. Do you have a photo of your bag?

I would not recommend Magic Eraser. It's recommended for LV vachetta and I used it many years ago because my new handles got dirty quickly. It basically rubs off the top layer of the leather, leaving it dry and changing its finish...

Devastating indeed, I'm so sorry! The quicker you act the better, I would try rubbing with the non-alcohol wipe very gently on a small area and go from there. I think this can be fixed.
 
I had the same issues with my SL large shopping tote. My new blouse stained the tote and it was red all over. I don't know the availability in your country, but I used the cajuput oil to clean the color transfer. It requires patience, but the stain was gone for good. And the bag color didn't come off, my bag is in taupe for reference.
So sorry to hear about your bag, I hope everything will be fine [emoji106] good luck
