how to get rid of pen on purses?!

[suchaklutzx2]

I got this really cute, white purse and for some reason i keep accidently hitting it with the tip of my pen when I'm at school so I have these little lines of either blue or black ink all over it and it looks really bad. The problem is I don't really think I can put the purse into the washer because of its material. It has a leather feel to it, but it wasn't expensive so I know it's not the real thing, if that makes a difference. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to get rid of it??!! Thanks for yourr help!

Spray a little hairspray on it and nab lightly it should remove it. But do not rub if it is white the ink may run so just use a very gentle hand.

try a bit of nail varnish remover. but use it gently, as judi says

ah, I was going to suggest hairspray; Judi beat me to it! LOL

Rubbing alcohol takes pen ink out of cloth and carpets, I have not tried it on leather though.

thats the principle nail varnish remover works on too, because it is alcohol based, like biros.
I used it on a pencil case once though, and it took off the actual design that was originally on it!!

make sure to try it on the bottom or some place you won't be upset if it does ruin the fabric, if all else fails take it to the dry cleaners and see what they can do for you.
