Spot clean it with Dawn dishwashing soap. Dawn is great for removing oil and grease stains. Use a soft wet toothbrush with a dab of soap and scrub in a circular motion. Rinse with cold water. Repeat if stain is still visible. Down is gentle enough that I use it on my silks.

Hey ! thanks for the reply! Will look for this brand. I live in the Philippines and i'm not really familiar with that brand of dishwashing soap. 😊
 
I actually was told that you can wash the "pliage" bags in the washing machine... :confused1:
I've never done that though - at least not yet... Someone in the German Purse Forum told me, that if you put them in the washing machine the leather (the handles and the flap) get a lighter colour.

Regina :yes:
I washed my white Pliage in some luke warm water with soft (green) soap. I tried to keep the leather handles dry - my bag still came out brown and I had to throw it away.

I have washed 2 of my large LP totes in the washing machine, with Woolite, in cold water inside a lingerie bag. After, hung them by the straps on a hanger to dry. After each bag was completely dry, I put conditioner on the leather straps and the flap to prevent the leather from drying out. Both bags are like new after! Other PFers have done the same with no problem. Sorry yours did not come out ok.


p.s. I also spray all of my LP bags with Apple Guard Rain & Stain Repellent to help prevent any accidental stains.

Thanks! Briljant tip. Will try this next time.

Hello everyone I am fairly new to longchamp and i have a question regarding with my 4 month old Le Pliage bag. I recently noticed this deep wrinkles on both sides of the bag and I wanted to know if this is common with Le Pliage bags. Here is the photo:
