I posted pics of my first Chanel last week - my beloved black Baby Cabas. Well I left it out the other day and my housekeeper was in a good mood and decided to "clean it" with some leather cream - same stuff that goes on the leather couch I got home as she was finishing one side and I kind of panicked, not knowing how the cream would affect the leather.
Well, now I look at my bag and that one side looks a little "washed out". The side which was left untouched looks totally fine, but the side that got cleaned looks less even (though there are no distinct areas of fading and it doesn't really come out in pictures).
Has anyone ever experienced this before? Is there anything I can do to fix it?
I tried wiping down the bag with warm water with a bit of vinegar (as suggested by Lovin My Bags) but I don't know that it really made any difference. Are there any creams/lotions you ladies apply on your bags? Any suggestions? (I generally use Bally/Cole Haan leather lotion for some of my bags if I have to but I don't want to worsen the situation). Thanks!
