Quick update: I took the skirt to Leather Spa on John Street and the person at the counter looked at it, grimaced, and said he'd try something. He took it in the back and came out a few minutes later with the ink much lighter but not gone. The area was lighter but he said it'd darken and he'd put conditioner on it, and that there's very little to be done with ink and suede. I asked the charge, and he said there wasn't any. I consider myself pretty lucky.

Thanks for the suggestions and recommendations.

I second the recommendation of Leather Spa. They've cleaned my suede sandals, lifted paint from my husband's leather jacket, and repaired a myriad of shoes. They patiently field every question and advise you on realistic expectations for the cleaning outcome. Excellent work. Worth every penny.

Thank you both. Much appreciated.

Hard to beat the services and results from Leather Spa. They are pricey, but very, very good. They even have a Tribeca location.

Try Madame Paulette in the city. Expensive but they should be able to get it done. A regular cleaners won?t touch it. Or Hallack cleaners in the city or their Hackensack location.

Hi, I got ink on the front of a suede skirt. I go to Golden Cleaners for everything but they couldn't do this.

Suggestions for a place to go? I could also try Hoboken or Tribeca or the Financial District as on the way to work.

Thank you
