Cleaning services? Are these local or send-in places? Do they clean any kind of purse? What's an average cost for this? Does the purse come out looking like it was dry-cleaned? (e.g., color fading. this is why I try to avoid dry cleaning for the most part)

Let-trade recently had a Vuitton global cruise bag that I would have been all over, but it was also quite dirty and I wasn't sure if I could clean it myself. I thought of tossing it in the washer, it's just canvas, and the dirt looked just like ordinary dirt, so I suspected it would come out ok, but for $850 I didn't want to experiment, lol. Also, I wasn't sure what the effect on the leather straps would be. I considered wrapping them in plastic first ...you can see I gave this some thought!
