How to Remove Ink Spots From Coach Leather Bags

Purchasing a Coach leather bag is an investment in fashion. When cared for properly, the leather on your Coach bag will age nicely and complement your work and casual wear for years to come. Similar to any other leather surface, Coach leather is susceptible to stains that absorb easily. A tiny ink swipe on the leather isn't difficult to remove but you must be fast on your feet to get a larger ink spot out. You can clean your Coach leather bag with the right supplies and careful techniques that get the ink out without damaging the leather.
