Please do not use any of the above solutions. Any liquid or stain remover will just make it worse. An ink stain is about the worst you can get on suede and leather besides blood. Try a dry sponge or an eraser, if that doesn`t work you will have to have it cleaned by a dry cleaner specializing in suede and leather.

Try a patch test first, but methylated spirit is usually the best stuff for removing biro ink.

I think Kim and Aggie did this on How Clean Is Your House... if I remember correctly they used hairspray and a clean cloth. Try a patch inside for a colour test where it isn't seen first and if it's OK go for the stain.

not sure if it will work but i have been known to use brake cleaner to get fountain pen ink out of carpet it really worked well without tainting do a patch test first to see if it damages material.

You beat me to it Caroline1!
I saw the same episode - they were working on a couch, and used hairspray and a soft cloth, took a bit of rubbing, but it worked.
