If it's that dirty - like she carried her cat in it - - I'd trash it and go to D&B website and look for a new one on sale.

Some friend she is...................I'd choke using it

She should have at least cleaned it before giving it to you. I would start with a lint roller to get as much off the lining as possible, then Lysol spray or wipe. Then check YouTube for more ideas.

I spray the inside with upholstery cleaner a little at a time and work it in with an old toothbrush. Let the bag dry overnight for about 24 hours, then vacuum. Repeat if necessary.

Go to the Dooney website, type cleaning in the search bar. You get the cleaning instructions for all their fabrications and leathers.
