You guys have so much knowledge and always happy to help us, I really appreciate that.
By the way... I decide to keep the clutch, since it was still wet on most part of the clutch so I decided to gently wet the rest with sponge and gently scrub where it left the water damage marks. Now the colour looks even but can't tell util it completly dry. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed, hopefully it works.
Now that was smart thinking. Still wondering how on earth it got wet, did you hear back from the seller?

Thank you Muchstuff, I really hope it works.
Yes I heard back from her. She said she very surprised how did it get wet and told me to send it back she is happy to refund it plus postage I have to pay to post it back.
I then replied to her I wanted to wait a day or two to see how it turns out when it is dry, and since it's still wet I then decide why don't just try to wet the whole clutch and let it dry completely to see how it turns out, I didn't tell her what I did though but prepare to loose money since I took a risk wetting the rest of the clutch myself.
She replied to me she promised the bag wasn't wet when it's left her and think it must get wet during transit. I don't know what to believe but since I love it and got it in good price I just thought I would try coz it already shown water marks all over the clutch anyway so wet the whole clutch can't be any worse...lol
I will keep you posted how it is turn out, leaving in dry at the moment but so far it seems to work. Fingers crossed xx
 
These were pictures from yesterday, first 5 photos when I opened up the package clutch and dustbag was wet.
And last 3 photos from last night and just now after gently wet with sponge and left it drying since yesterday late afternoon about 14 hours later. It's coming out alright, can't tell until it's completely dry and I'm hoping it was only pure water/rain that wet the clutch before it arrived to me not other sort of liquid which would sure shown up once its dry.
What do you think how it looks so far? A black mark near the top of corner has faded out too which is good. I am planing to leather condition it once its completely dry too. Wish me luck ladies/guys <3

I’d say it’s looking pretty hopeful! Let’s see it once it’s completely dry and conditioned, I’m guessing you may have good results.

this looks definitely way better, it's even now and somewhat cleaner
wetting the whole thing is the only way to save it, if you want to speed up drying, stuff if with old newspapers and wrap in a white towel outside :)

Thank you Muchstuff, I can't see water marks anymore. I did try to gentle rubbing and padding it along water marks line yesterday when I tried to wet the rest. I will keep you guys posted <3

I hope it dries even. Getting it all wet was the right thing to do IMO. How was it packaged? I always put whatever I'm sending inside a plastic bag before putting in the package or box.

Thanks Whateve, yes me too always put item in plastic bag then in sachet or a box before I post it out.
The package it came in was a sachet and sealed well from what I saw, she didn't put inside anything else apart from it's dustbag. I was cold yesterday so when I opened and touched it I thought it might because sachet has been in transit in the weather outside as it felt cold but when I pulled it out I can feel it was wet and can see water stain very well on the dustbag and some yellow colour transferred into dustbag fabric. I asked my husband to feel it too to make sure I didn't gone crazy...lol
He felt and saw the same, I then check if inside the sachet feels wet or any sign of water but no, it felt dry no sign of water apart from feel cold, plastic stuffing inside the clutch was dry too.
I am not sure why but it has been in transit shipped since 16th Jul so perhaps water could just soke up in the leather, lining and dustbag? I can't see someone would be silly enough to send item out when it was still wet unless they hoping it would be dry by the time it gets to me but again outside the package has no sign of water damage at all or couriers wiped water off?
All these questions are in my head coz I have no idea how could water got in there and from the look of it, there wasn't just tiny bit of water because dustbag, lining inside and leather was quite wet. I was nearly cry when I saw it >.<"
Anyway... it seems to look ok now, I can't see any water marks on it at all, would be able to tell in a couple more days. Fingers and toes crossed x <3
