Anyone with white Coach leather?

[ysj99]

Does anyone have a Coach bag made of the white or cream leather? I recently bought one and have found that the dye on my clothes are rubbing off onto the bag! How do I clean the current stains? Is there any way to prevent them?

oh no, I don''t have one, but I saw a patent leather white Brooke bag and DH knows that''s what I want for christmas, and now I''m worried it might happen too

. Is the leather patent leather or just their normal leather bag? - if normal - I thought they have a leather cleaner?

Yep, I''ve have an all leather white Coach bag for over five years. I never really use it, and have never had a problem with color transfer. You should go buy some Coach leather cleaner and moisturizer. The cleaner took the color transfer off of another Coach purse of mine that has a little white leather on the base of the bag. Good luck!

it''s just the regular leather, but in cream. i am regretting buying a white bag now that i have to be so super careful about... especially since i had intended it as my everyday purse!

I''ve had a cream all-leather Coach bag since January and have been using it as my everyday purse for the last 4 months or so, and have never had any color transfer problems with it. The color is just as pristine as it was when I bought it new. Sorry about yours, I hope you find a way to fix it!

Especially with Jeans being such dark washes nowadays this is a major problem for hand bags. What I would suggest is to see if your bag can use the coach leather cleaner. If you don''t still have the little card, take it into any coach store and they will test the cleaner on a small part of the bag. Then you need to take the area of discoloration and divide it into little zones and spend some time on each zone. Do it while you''re watching tv or something. It takes some work to get these stains out. Hope that helps!

ditto, I have a half leather and half cloth white one but never had a problem w/a transfer. maybe there is a coach cleaning product you can use? I have a moisturizer from coach so maybe they make a cleaning one? sorry

Yupp - I have a cream bag that I''ve had 3-4 years...but I don''t wear dark wash jeans or anything that will transfer/bleed color. Do you have the coach cleaner? I''ve gotten so much out with that stuff, sometimes even pen. You could also call coach customer care to see if it''s something they''ll cover.

I don't have any white leather Coach pieces, but this happened a bit with one of my pink pieces.
Personally, I wouldn't get the Coach leather cleaner, it has silicone in it which won't allow the leather to breath. Instead I would get some Apple Leather Care stuff. The cleaner and the care stuff together are amazing.

Since some of the dye from your clothes already got onto the bag, I'm not sure if it would come out all the way now. If you were to look this up on The Purse Forum you could probably find some really in depth ways on how to hopefully get all of the dye transfer off without damaging the leather.
Let us know what works for you.

Also, the leather products that I suggested would help with making it easier too keep stains off of the leather and also protecting against water damage(getting stuck in the rain.)

Did you ask the sales rep at the Coach store?

Windex, it takes every bit of denim dye off white handbags. I have cream leather seats in my car, they do get a bit of dark dye staining, and Windex works so much better than the expensive purpose made leather cleaners.

Leather cleaner/conditioners are ok for cleaning light grime from leather, but IMO they aren''t very effective against dye transfer.

thanks for the tip, have you tried it with other colored leather bag? does it lightened?
