Cream Radley Leather Handbag

[jaynethepain]

I've got a lovely cream leather Radley bag with what look likes ink stains on it. Quite big and on both sides making it impossible to use. Have tried contacting Radley (no help) & wondered if anyone could recommend a product to remove these stains please. Otherwise I fear it may have to go in the charity bag but I'm reluctant to go down that route before trying every avenue.

If no other solutions come up, try white cream cleaner (what you clean baths and basins with). Put a few drops on some cotten wool and give it a good rub. Good luck.

you really have nothing to loose so I would try CIF or any other cream but rub lightly .if that doesn't do it try a bit of white spirits again a bit on a coton bud and go gently good luck

A couple of ideas here, but if the stain is old it may prove more difficult.

What about trying those magic erasers - white foam like pads which tear into pieces, damp them and remove scuff marks off anything. Available anywhere now - but Kleeneze, Betterwear and Lakeland do them. Worth a try.

How would feel about dyeing it if all else fails? Have you tried a dry cleaners?

My wife washed her ruined leather Radley in the washing machine as a last resort. She used a non-bio, clear liquid detergent for silks and woollens and a gentle cycle. She was thrilled with how it came out.
