Is there a shoe repair anywhere near you? I'd take it there and ask advice of an expert. I have a shoe repair guy locally. He dyes leather, sews it back together, replaced a broken purse strap, plus does shoe repairs of all kinds. Good luck!

I'm not an expert on leather care but I have never been able to get stains out of a butterscotch colored purse.

There are good leather dyes out there, such as Magic Mender, but the cost may exceed what the purse is worth.

I wonder whether you could even out the stain with more beer.

Here is a link that might be useful: Magic Mender

thanks ! My dh suggested the beer idea too! I laughed and said I'd smell like a brewery ! No parent/teacher conferences for a while ;o)

I will ask at the local shoe repair place as well!
