Got a brand new pair of Broadstreets, but I noticed that the dye in the AE-issued (velvet?) shoe bags rubbed off a bit on the white.
AE advises to send them back, because there's nothing I can do to clean them that won't also remove the finish. However, I'm sure someone here knows a trick.
So, how do I clean smooth white leather? Baking soda? Toothpaste? The offending stain is small, and faintly pinkish colour, but I know it's there.
And before anyone asks, I've stopped using the AE bags - got a pair of cloth Ferragamo bags.
Help.
