HELP! GOT Brown Leather Dye on MY G

Ok... so I have this brown leather bag... It was sitting on the passenger side of my car. Due to the hot weather... the dark brown dye from the bag somehow got on the leather seat and now I have little spots here and there on the leather...

I have beige interior and you can definitely see the spots. I tried leather cleaners, tried soap and water, tried almost everything. Any suggestions?

Dye transfer (from jeans, leather belts, other leather articles, etc) can be very difficult to remove; the longer it is on the leather the harder it will be to remove. Using a solvent on leather that has a stain or dye transfer will do two things; (a) cause the dye to 'bleed' into the surface making it even more difficult to remove (b) damage the finish requiring replacement. If the dye cannot be removed with Leather Master's "Strong Cleaner", then the surface may have to be re-dyed
