Patent, if it's dark color, is pretty much indestructible and low maintenance. I never use anything on patent except wipe it down with a soft damp (water only) towel if it gets dirty.

:D I am getting a red, fuscia and maybe the pink.
I heard that colours can be transferred easily from other staff to the patent leather.
So I just want to make no regrets.
Plus the UK chanel does not do cleaning.
Lucky ladies in the US.

What would you suggest is best for new black lambskin? I got a new bag and the sales assistant said to use nothing, just wipe it. Obviously it does depend on the climate a little, but do you think that's true? and what about on vintage lamb? I would really appreciate an answer from someone experienced, such as yourself, as I posted a question on another thread but did not get definitive results...

I'm down to only one lambskin purchased back in 1994 and haven't used anything on it. Right now it's still pristine. I don't even wipe it. If fine scratches were to develop, I use my clean finger to rub them out using circular motion. As for climate, I don't use it when it rains or when it's too hot.

I use the meltonian neutral jars, as well as this product. I prefer this as it conditions it and also has a water repellent. Its a meltonian product. Its great for all leathers including distressed leather and reptile leathers.

:p ok, havnt got my patent bags yet.
Only have two caviar and dont really have to take any care of them in my opinion.
I am getting 2/3 patent from the pre-season collection.
Love the pink, fuscia and red.

And I am thinking it is time for me to take care of them now, as I heard they are quite delicate leather.

Can anyone tell me which kit or what products should I use on the patent chanel?
I want to try something from LMBs, so please please help.

Best wishes to all of you ladies.
Wish you all be able to get your dream colour/style.

I don't think you should pretreat patent leather. Just make sure not to wear light patent colors with dark clothing. Superficial scuffs can be wiped off, but once the color transfers under the patent there is nothing you can do.

thank you so much! That's pretty much what the girls at CHANEL said about the lambskin classics. If you haven't used anything on a bag from 1994 then I guess they do not need much in the line of products as long as one takes reasonable care. I will be using mine in the rain (this is London it rains a lot!:smile1:) but obviously we have umbrellas and is unlikely to get wet.

I have been carrying my Black Metallic Camera bag for a few weeks now and am concerned that the color is buffing on the corners. Does anyone have any care tips for this leather? I am wondering about trying a leather polish.

I would contact Barbara or her husband Gary at [email protected]


I am sending part of the information that was sent to me when I made inquires about theirr product. So perhaps some of these products will work on you calf-skin leathr black metallic symbols bag. On the webiste she also has a wealth of information. The last prodcuts I purchased are from her new botanical line introduced last year. HTH

Attached were a few of her comments that you may find helpful.

Message form Barbara:
"The products are Botanical Eco- Friendly - plant based and are non-darkening for all leathers even the most delicate - the cleanser cleans incredibly well and the Shield protects from water and OIL stains instantly.

I have listed the products below.
These are the only 3 products you need for your entire collection.
The products are also cosmetic grade ingredients and therefore safe for contact with sensitive skin."

More details about the product:


Questions regarding the product:

"LMB-BSLC - Botanical Silk Leather Cleanser- is this a good cleaner and have
a similar description as the other product (i.e., Luxury cleaner) mentioned
on you website. It is a completely different cleanser than the Luxury Cleanser, as it is based on Botanicals all plant based ingredients - and also safer for Chanel leathers as it is gentler but just as effective in cleaning ability.


LMB-BSMS: Botanical Silk Miracle Shield-is the similar and how does it
differ from Silk Serum Treatment or the Pro-Treatment cream. This is comparable to the Pro-Treatment as a protection - but again it is botanical; also the protection is instant as opposed to the Pro-Treatment which protects best after 24 hours.

LMB-BSLM- Botanical Silk Leather Moisturizer and Conditioner- is this
similar to the ultimate moisturizer and how does it differ from this
product. This is similar to the Silk Serum -- but has botanical emollients that leaves a smooth feel to the leather that differs from the Silk Serum feel - Botanical Silk leaves a feel more in line with the natural feel of Chanel leathers."

I have a Colonil protectant spray too! The cobbler man who sold me this said it is fine to use on Chanel lambskin, but I'm still nervous about it. Do you or anyone else have experience using a Colonil product on a Chanel bag? It works beautifully on my Mulberry and Miu Miu, but it's my first Chanel lambskin and I did not wanna risk anything. Would appreciate any advice!

An alternative to the Apple products which I also have used is the Collonil products. I have used them on my Mulberry purses and LV. This is a 100% German manufactured product and they carry a line known as the premium product which is essentially just for high end leather purses, shoes...etc

RE: CAVIAR LEATHERS

Babara just emailed me the other day...for Chanel Caviar, she told me FEEL SOFT Conditioner is the best. I've used it on my bags and it's great. She told me for caviar only. Put on the Pro treatment, wait a day, then top with the Feel Soft...

She has a better Pro treatment now ... Silk Miracle SHield, but I still have 1/2 jar of the Pro Treatment...when I finish I'll get that one...she said it's stronger and more protective repelling stains and water ...hope that helps answer the question for
the Caviar Bags.
