How to remove ink from patent leather purse?

My pink patent leather designer handbag has a ball point ink mark I can't remove. It also has an ink transfer on it.
place a open box of baking soda inside
charcoal absorbs odor well. If you like the smell of coffee, fresh ground coffee works well too. (Do not brew it!)
Thanks, I do love coffee. I've been hanging it outside & just being out in the fresh air has helped some.
You can try spraying the inside of the purse with rubbing alcohol. Dont get it on the outside.
I sprayed mine with white vinegar and left it in the sun to dry and air out, then wiped it down with some leather cleaner. The vinegar left a white residue that the leather cleaner took off.
Febreeze spray, even the generic kind, will help. But airing it out is key as well!
Put the purse outside for a couple of days. The odor will dissipate.
