Leather-cleaning

emily · April 2008

Does anyone know of a good place to get a handbag cleaned? Doesn't have to be right around here, Manhattan is good, too--I just want to find someplace that somebody has had a good experience with.

Backstory: on Friday night, some drunk girl lunged across me for mysterious reasons, knocking my and my husband's drinks directly onto/into my handbag. This is what happens when I go out outside the neighborhood. #-o The bag is a dark color but it could still use some attention.

ArtBag is the place a purse store rec'd to me to clean the suede bag I bought from them...I still haven't made it there. They are in the not-cheap/super-good category

Oooh, thanks for the links, pitu! One of those is really near where I have to run an errand tomorrow anyway.

And AW, sorry to disappoint your pervy side. This is a leather bag that I got as an anniversary present from my husband, so... yeah.
