Help please! Can I save my leather handbag?

oil transdermal .thats what it is supposed to do .leather is skin
probally get some neats foot oil, do the bag all over,then buff it with soft nonlint fabric

I had a lovely tan leather bag, which was stained when a cup of hot chocolate was knocked over. A friend suggested using a good toilet soap on the stains, wipe off and let it dry, and then use a leather nourishing cream. It worked - there was no trace of staining.

Have you tried saddle soap?

I would try saddle soap, it works miracles on saddles and bridles which are regularly covered in all sorts of stuff

It works in leather boots really well.

DH has a very old artist’s bag. He always uses saddle soap to keep it in good condition.
