I need your help, ladies. I did a search and couldn't find this topic. I bought a used bag and it turns out the bag is not in as good condition as I was led to believe (shocking, right?). I even had a Q&A session with the seller over the phone about the "signs of wear" in the linging, and was told it was not dirty or soiled Anyway, the light pink suede lining is pretty dirty and I have no idea how to clean suede (never had to before)

I think I can figure out how to deal with most of the blemishes on the exterior leather, although I see some faint water marks that I also don't know how to handle

:--any advice on this? I could live with the leather blemishes and water marks if there's no remedy, but I have got to clean that suede.
I suppose you all have your ways to clean bags, and I hope you can share them with me so that I can save this otherwise beautiful

bag. Thanks in advance!!
