I guess I got a food stain from the turkey lol.

There’s a dark blob on the band. Can’t get it off. Been hours so it’s not wet.

Can it be fixed?

If it's grease, unlikely it will be able to be fully removed, as it may have slightly absorbed into the leather. Try a microfiber cloth, a little warm Soapy water and blot the stain lightly. Try not to Over saturate the stain with to much water.

If it doesn’t come out you could also use some saddle soap or a different conditioner to darken the rest of the band to match the stain

OMG this happened to me last night when I was having ramen! Got a drop of the oily soup onto my Hermes Fauve Barenia.

I applied some leather conditioner around that area and along the band. Seems to have settled and is not as visible. But the whole band has just gotten a shade darker.

I don’t think you can fully get rid of oily stains. Just need to let it patina and blend in over time.
