Could I be more stupid??? I crushed a banana inside my Birkin bag!!! :rant:

I feel so sad i could cry! I wiped the inside with kitchen paper, but I am really not sure which product to use to clean what's left!!! Do you girls know if a little bit of soap and water is OK? (Black Togo leather, i know it's not fragile, but still...) I cannot see myself phoning Hermes with such a stupid question... :hrmm:
 
oh.my.goodness!
i think i would die screaming if this happened to me. you might want to try one of those shout cloth wipes, which i know would work, but test it on an inconspicuous area first.
i don't know; i think i'd phone hermes anyway... it's worth it to save your precious bag!!

If it's the inside, it's the chevre leather part which is VERY water resistant and durable. That's why they use it as lining. My friend spilled a whole baby bottle of MILK in her Birkin and just cleaned it up with a soft towel. No mess, residue or smell was left.
 
Yeap! I posted it in the Hermes Informative Catalog before:

The official name is "Pain de Savon Glycerine" or "Savon H a la Glycerine" (Sodium Soap in English). It says that it is made out of fatty acids of animal. It's mainly used to clean the saddles, hence, saddle soap.
