I know your sadness and frustration well. A new pair of dark skinnies dyed my yellow Aigner crossbody bag last fall. I was SICK.</p> <p>I am so sorry. =( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-jeans-ruined-my-new-handbag#post-316541 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 14:48:19 +0000 Angie 316541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Urghhhh. That's sickening. It REALLY annoys me when jeans do that. Another good reason to wear faded jeans.</p> <p>I hope you can dull the stains. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-jeans-ruined-my-new-handbag#post-316536 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 14:43:49 +0000 Lisa 316536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had this happen to Gucci bag of mine and am heartbroken. I'm curious what can be done to remove the dye from the bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-jeans-ruined-my-new-handbag#post-316520 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 14:31:01 +0000 JayS 316520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Found this post to hopefully keep dye transfer from happening again. Good luck with your bag.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/04/14/wash-jeans-in-vinegar-to-set-the-dye/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/04/.....t-the-dye/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-jeans-ruined-my-new-handbag#post-316511 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 14:10:06 +0000 HeleenH 316511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you can get that bag clean again! I wouldn't try baby wipes as they usually have an oil in it and I think that would turn your bag into a dirt-magnet later on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-jeans-ruined-my-new-handbag#post-316501 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 14:00:23 +0000 Sarah 316501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everyone. Should have known better than to get a pale canvas bag, seeing how I'm such a stain magnet. Isabel, I would love to know how Angie, or anyone, can wear cream and white shoes and bags and keep them spotless. :)</p> <p>Janet, I hope you find the solution to cleaning yours too. It's such a downer to have your brand new bag look scruffy after the first wear.</p> <p>Queen Mum &amp; Aunty, I will try those cleaners, and other suggestions I've seen, like Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, baby wipes, anything that might possibly help.</p> <p>Keep the suggestions coming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-jeans-ruined-my-new-handbag#post-316493 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 13:39:22 +0000 Aunty 316493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the cleaners might be the answer.You could try rubbing with a pencil eraser. Be very gentle on just a small spot to see if that will lift it?<br /> Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-jeans-ruined-my-new-handbag#post-316485 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 13:24:29 +0000 Janet 316485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just found this:</p> <p><a href="http://forum.purseblog.com/handbags-and-purses/denim-stain-on-a-white-leather-bag-306926.html" rel="nofollow">http://forum.purseblog.com/han.....06926.html</a></p> <p>Maybe something helpful there? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-jeans-ruined-my-new-handbag#post-316483 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 13:12:02 +0000 Isabel 316483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no solution, I am sorry. All I can do is recommend that one spray light bags with scotchguard. They just get dirty so quickly. I wonder how Angie keeps her light shoes and bags so clean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-jeans-ruined-my-new-handbag#post-316481 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 13:06:27 +0000 Queen Mum 316481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oxy clean spray? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-jeans-ruined-my-new-handbag#post-316480 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 12:52:43 +0000 Janet 316480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just had the exact same thing happen to a light gray soft leather (almost nubuck-like) bag! Also a pair of jeans I'd washed a couple of times. I was so disappointed! It was a bag I got on a good discount, but still it wasn't cheap. </p> <p>It's at the cleaners now -- they're seeing what they can do with it. I asked him about dyeing it, and he was skeptical.</p> <p>So, no advice for you, but commiseration. I'll be anxious to see responses as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-jeans-ruined-my-new-handbag#post-316479 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 12:48:16 +0000 Sarah 316479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got this cute canvas and leather style handbag from ASOS for spring, and wore it for the first time yesterday. This morning, I'm looking at the back of it, and to my horror I realize the dye from my jeans has rubbed off on it! I have had these jeans for months so I'm not sure why this would happen, but I'm very sad.</p> <p>Is there anything I can do to clean the canvas? </p>
