That'd be my first step if I were you, that way you're not taking any chances ruining or further staining your bag. I've used leather wipes (the kind you clean your auto interior with) and the Magic Eraser on my off-white MbMJ bag and they both work well. Don't rub too hard with the Magic Eraser if you try it as it will damage the leather. I have a tiny little spot on the bottom of my MbMJ zip clutch from getting a little too hasty, lol.

It works really well and doesn't rub off the color. I tend to get denim/jean rub off on the corners of my light bags and the Coach cleaner manages to take it off without ruining the leather. For a really dark stain, I leave it on very saturated for a few minutes. I have even removed pen marks on leather, but not sharpie pen marks.
