    Dye transfer must be treated quite carefully.

    As the leather has been ‘re-dyed’ it will depend on how far the dye has travelled into the finish on the leather as to how successfully it will be removed.

    The only cleaning product to be formulated specifically for this problem is Maxi Cleaner.
    If this does not remove it safely then you would need to contact a qualified leather technician as stronger products may damage the finish and remove pigment which would then need replacing.

    Please do not use magic erasers as these will also damage the finish on the leather.
    Milk is sometimes mentioned as a leather cleaner but this is a very silly product to suggest and could lead to far more problems if used.
    Acetones, hairspray, and alcohol should all be avoided as they may also damage the finish on the leather.

    Hope this helps

    the only thing i can think of is nail varnish remover. failing that take it to a dry cleaners and see if they can help.

    If the stain cannot be removed you could try taking the bag to a shoe repair and purchasing a leather dye to match the bag and redye the stain. Good luck
