My mom gave me her old messenger bag and it's in pretty good condition. It's purple. But when we put it in the wash, we forgot that a pen was in there. It leaked on the black part on the inside, so it looks like a copper splotch. Is there any way that I could make this look like it belongs or hide it? We threw away the busted pen.

If you have a Hot Topic store near you, they've got /awesome/ stuff that you could put on it, and you don't have to stick to covering the pen splotch. Make your bag uniquely /you/, with whatever look you're into, and the splotch won't even matter. (I think Happy Bunny stickers/patches are fun with great sayings...again, available at Hot Topic, not sure of anywhere else, but I know they're at a lot of places...) Hope this helps!
Love,

elscorcho96 answered Thursday August 4 2005, 8:36 pm: If you don't want to cover up the splotch with a patch, pin or other bag accessory, try buying a purple sharpie pen or other permanent marker and color over the spot. When the ink starts to wear off just color over it again. It's not the best fix, but it does work. [ elscorcho96's advice column | Ask elscorcho96 A Question ]
margarita_luvs_ya answered Thursday August 4 2005, 5:20 pm: I love bags and purse I have over 40! I also make alot of bags for school because bookbags are so overrated. Okay well u can make it a button bag, buttons are in these days. Little pins that has sayings on them. Put them all over the bag and they're pretty cheep like $0.50-$2.00 each. Or you can cover it up by sewing in a sceneric patter print frabic. Or a little bit of hot glue gun and some ribbons u can make little bows. Ribbons are also in especially for covering up an elastic band for your hair. Hope you find something. [ margarita_luvs_ya's advice column | Ask margarita_luvs_ya A Question ]
