I just bought a Palermo on Wednesday August 5th. Since then, I've had two incidents that stained the Vachetta leather First, my daughter was eating cake and left crumbs on the chair that I usually set my purse on while I'm typing away on the computer. Well, I picked up my bag and OOOOHHHH NOOOO, there were cake crumbs on the leather piping that surrounds the outer edge of the bottom. When I brushed them away, dark spots!! They were small, but I was going crazy. I knew I couldn't get the leather wet, that would make it worse. So, after I gathered my senses, I took the point of a thumb tack and gently scraped away at the stain, and it worked. No stain, and no mark on the leather. I guess my daughter can live! Then this morning, I got into the car with my purse and tote and all the other stuff I have to carry to work, and OH CRAP! There was an indent and dark mark on the leaf shaped leather of the handle attachment. As soon as I got to work, again, I took the point of a tack and gently scraped at the mark with the same beautiful result! My bag is pristine again!! Anyone else try this?l
