Q about wrapping leather bags in tissue? Is there anything wrong with wrapping leather bags in tissue? I know storing them in plastic will cause the leather to suffocate, which causes the leather to harden, dry and crack. But what about tissue? Will this cause the bag to suffocate and dry out, as well? I have a small leather bag stored in its dust bag but is wrapped in two layers of tissue. The reason why I did this is because I'm planning on shipping it out to someone this weekend. Thanks so much.

I was wearing a black dress and the color transferred onto my white leather bag. How can I get it out? The dress was brand new and it was black cotton. It basically ruined my white leather coach bag. I went to the Coach store and their leather cleaner didn't work. They suggested a product called Lexol. Has anyone heard of this? Does anyone have any suggestions? The lady at the Coach store told me that I could always take it to a shoe repair and have them completely dye my white bag black. That sounds crazy to me. There has to be another solution!
