How do I get rid of chocolate stains on my handbag?

Scrape up any excess chocolate with a spoon, then dampen a cloth with cold water and dab (rather than rub) the mark. If that doesn't work, create a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water and dab this over the stain until it lifts. Rinse the area with cold water then use a mild detergent and damp cloth to remove any residue.
