Is it possible to get pen marks out of Coach leather?

Thanks, all. I tried a combination of hairspray on a cloth and rubbing it in and an eraser and it did the trick. They weren't big marks, so I don't know how this would work on a major pen accident. Thanks again!

I use a little hand santizer and it actually took the coloring off my Coach Chelsea Wallet, (coated canvas/pvc) don't try it. I now went from a tiny pen mark to a worn looking area about the size of my thumb.

have u tried "shout"? i used it to clean my poppy glam tote. sprayed a little bit on the area and wiped with damp cloth. it turned out good.
 
It depends on what type of leather you have. Some have used alcohol and it completely removed it. Some have used alcohol and left a white spot. If you try it, test first in a spot that's less noticeable.
 
I have tried a lot of products and none of them work in all situations. I have had pen come off just by wiping with a damp cloth or a mild household cleaner. I would try that first. Other things I have used are baby wipes, hand sanitizer, Amodex, Oops, leather cleaner, and Lincoln e-z cleaner. When all else fails, I use acrylic paint to cover the mark.
 
You know, I was just going to post about this. I just discovered a pen mark on my croc Maggie... So pissed! I applied Leather CPR, but it didn't work. I will try a couple of other things and see what happens. Sadly, it is in an obvious spot, so I am going to have to be real careful. If I have any success, I will let you know.
 
I accidentally got red pen on my white Madeline tote a few years ago. I was able to scrub it out with just water on a paper towel. Looks fine still to this day! Try that first before anything that might mess with the color of the bag.
