Given the low initial investment, I would suggest nail polish remover but test on a small and discreet area of the leather first!
ETA: believe it or not, ink does fade. I had a leaky biro accident on my new phone case (admittedly pleather) about three months ago and despite looking like a total disaster at the time, it's nearly gone now.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

A squirt of hairspray and quick wipe off should do it.0

Stain devils make a biro remover. Worth buying a bottle in case you get biro on anything else. It seems to last for ever, so it will get used eventually.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0

Alcohol hand germ gel takes ink off desks but I don’t know about leather.0

Hairspray, alcohol gel or a baby wipe usually work though they might need a few goes.0

Baby wipes, hand sanitiser gel, neat washing up liquid0

I've said it before, but given how baby wipes get touted for removing so many stains, why would you trust them on a child's skin?!Make £2025 in 2025
