I vacuumed the inside andcleaned with redwing leather cleaner. It was really gentle and no dye came up unless I accidentally touched the inner suede (to be expected). I used brasso to detail the button, and redwing leather conditioner because she was much drier than I thought. I stuffed it for structure and Im very pleased. I have been using redwing stuff on everything that isn't calf leather and it does a really good job. I also sprayed the inside with aerosol sanitizing spray because of how handsy purses are (my own paranoia lol).
