This is so silly, but a pen exploded on my leather purse. How can I get it off?? Does anyone have any advice

I would try aerosol hairspray...

I've had this problem and have taken purses in to be cleaned but they told me if you get it right away with a paper towel with warm water and a little bit of mild hand soap you can just wash it out. Don't soak the purse, just use the damp paper towel. It will take a bit of working but its worth it to save the purse!

You should be able to go to the drug store, or hardware store and get leather cleaner. If it's an expensive purse I really wouldn't try hairspray because then you are left with a really bad residue and then have to use soap and water to get it off. Leather cleaner would be the way to go

I had a leather couch and nail polish remover took everything off ... I would try it in an inconspicuous spot first.
