Purses are very difficult to clean and that is why so few dry cleaners are willing to process them. Garment manufacturers are required to label clothing with appropriate cleaning instructions. However, purse manufacturers are not required to address the issue of serviceability. As such, cleaning is never considered as they design their beautiful purses with combinations of fabric and leather, such as yours, making its cleaning even more of a challenge.

I would NOT recommend that you attempt to clean that coffee stain off your Prada purse yourself, especially since it is a relatively new couture item. It would be a shame to accidentally ruin it. The fact that you live in Taiwan is not a problem. We process such items thru our CleanByMail sevice all the time. It would be best if you can ship it to us and we will clean and then ship it back to you.
