Well I also have a pink ostrich and you know when the mark is very very obvious then the spa is a good option I sent mine because of the handle darkening that with ostrich is automatic and I had a good experience it looks better and the shade did not change much at all and the handles looked much better and I now wear it with twillys but I have to say I baby my bags and big or small I will send them in .because ostrich has pores and the skin is very much a changing living material grease or a greasy mark may continue to spread , so to the point ,send it in ! Hope it helps darling and I'm so sorry to hear about it as I totally understand you !.
