Hello!

Ugh… I took my brand new, butter yellow, soft leather tote bag to work and the first thing I did was smear a black pen across the top. I searched google on how to remove it but I’m skeptical to try any of them. Does anyone know of a natural remedy that REALLY works?

  • I would try a cloth and eucalyptus spray


  • Was also going to use WD40 it works really well.


  • I used my bacterial wipes (nappy wipes should work too) and my bag looks nearly brand new – got out pen stains (pale pink bag) with no problem
