Dye transfer from wearing black jeans, and some scratches from some silver knob thingy on my jeans (not sure what to call it lol). I remember reading a few pages ago from a tPFer that make up remover would help remove it, and wallah! Bag is very beat up from 2 days walking 'found SF, but I'm planning on using some Colonil leather conditioner when I get back home to smooth and clean it up. Any other suggestions welcome

I am a PurseForum newbie. Have just purchased an MG bucket in Black/Ballerina - swoon. Reading about how easily the bags mark/scratch/stain. Is it the same for the black as for the pale coloured bags? Think I'm going to polish with Collonil and then spray to waterproof - although my husband is recommending Rennaisance Wax. Any feedback would be very welcome and appreciated.
Hi guys, I'm in love with the bucket in creme/cammello but I'm concerned about it getting grubby fairly quickly. Not sure how I would clean it without damaging the leather parts. Can anyone who has this colour shed some light on how it wears?
I have refrained from the Creme/Cammello for this reason. I have so many (non- MG) Canvas tote bags that have gotten dirty so quickly.
Still, I would think a stain-proofing spray would be best for the canvas. You could use a low-tack tape to keep it from changing the leather. Then, once the canvas dries, I would use a conditioning cream on the leather.
here is it.. since i suspect its an oil stain, i have left powder/corn starch on it. seemingly (or rather) it seems to have lighten... but i dun tink its going to go away... i went to check on the bag spa but none seems very convince that they are able to clean naked leather.. i think i will just have to let the pattina grow and hope it will cover it up.... its about my life aint it!

Room sprays often have oils in them, so that may be why it stained. I think the corn starch is a good idea and should help it fade. Once you get the area as light as possible, you may want to condition the whole bag again to blend the darker area a bit. Sorry this happened. At least it is on the bottom and yes over time the darker area should fade as the bag patinas.
gah yes! i reckon so at least its at the bottom thats the only consolation! and..thanks for the advice!
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to keep the white pebbled leather clean/ prevent stains? Will it be ok in the rain?
I don't have any bags in this leather, but I don't imagine it is fragile. Any quality leather protectant should do the trick.
I think its always good to condition and spray the bags with waterproof spray before use. I use Collonil Waterstop and its amazing!!
I have this calf leather bag which had nail polish remover spill on its bottom corner (the bottle fell on its side and had a crack in it which spilled the content) of course, I wasn't aware of this and found out a few days later. I freaked out after realising what was happening but there was NO damage to the calf leather at all when I checked the bag! Was super suprised btw, I thought it would've darkened or made the leather rough but it looks completely fine. So any leather bag I have from now on, I spray with the waterstop.
