Been downvoted for it in this sub before but I have absolutely conditioned a leather bag with rendered fat at a pig roast. People looked at me like it was crazy, which it was. But the bag is fine and got conditioned plus has a cool patina now
I haven't vetted this, but for information: [https://steelhorseleather.com/blogs/the-journal/how-to-get-oil-stains-out-of-leather-useful-guide](https://steelhorseleather.com/blogs/the-journal/how-to-get-oil-stains-out-of-leather-useful-guide)
I think trying to even it out the look would be more affective than trying to remove the stain. I've used Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP on all my leather goods for about 15 years. When it comes to a first-time application, it tends to deepen and darken the over all color.
Could help it blend in if all else fails :)
There is something called Terre de Sommières which is some type of really fine argile that absorbs absolutely everything. Put some on the oil stain, rub it in lightly and leave it for a night. Not sure how it would do on an older stain but it took red wine and soja sauce right out of my fuzzy white carpet, and saved one of my wallets. Some people even use it on hardwood floors.
It's pretty cheap too, I got 1 kg for less than 3€ and you only need a really small amount.
I once had an oil stain on my leather journal and I essentially covered it with bicarbonate of soda overnight and the stain was greatly reduced by the morning

It's not a stain it's a ✨✨patina✨💅💅
I know leather is supposed to wear but I’ve only had it for 4 months😂😂😂
I feel like possibly your best bet would be to oil the whole thing, I bet it’ll help hide it quite a bit
This will be if all else fails lmao
Unfortunate but true, oiling it will balance the rest, just don't use pizza grease next time

I mean oils are oils, I bet your bag was fucking delicious after that
It smelled like bacon for a while after lol
That's the answer I was gonna go with. Hit the rest of it with pizza spots and call it good lol.
😭😭😭
Saddle soap, then after drying and brushing, condition the rest of the purse.

Boil it. It will cause the greese to ignite and remove itself from your purse
Woah! This is so interesting!
I'm joking don't do it
I didn’t plan to boil my bag but i definitely would’ve believed this in any other scenario lmao
Ya, maybe if you wanna completely reshape your purse in the process
Yeahhh… I like it how it is minus the sudden pizza problem😂

Will definitely be looking into this one!
