Hi JetSetGo, I have the same camera bag and am experiencing the same problem, could you share the information when you get a hold of Barbara? Thank you!
thank you thank you so much
i am still waiting for her response.
as i live in uk, so i want to make sure i get everything i needed for my bag collection.
i emailed her twice already.
i probably would email her again, but i really dont want to be seen as annoy..
I hate to tell you this but my bronze metallic reissue - a couple of years old now has blackened corners. I may have been careless with it, but is not dirt - the metallic is in fact wearing away. It doesnt look bad, I just take it as part of the 'breaking in' process.
I just treated my black lamb mini flap with Meltonian All-Purpose Cleaner and Conditioner. Strange that it took off black stuff from the front part where the turnlock is attached, but nowhere else. I hope it did not take out the dye from this part of the bag, will have to see in broad daylight tomorrow if this section is lighter than other sections of the bag. grrr....
What were the results? Overall, were you satisfied with the Meltonian All-Purpose Cleaner & Conditioner? I'm curious because I just purchased a Dk. Brown Quilted Lambskin M/L Flap and I would like to find a product that will condition it without incident. Thanks!
I took pics for you to see the after effects of treating my mini lamb. To my bare naked eye, the finish on the section where the turnlock is attached looks ever so slightly muted, like a matted lustre. I took so many shots to see if anyone can tell the difference from that part of the bag versus the sides or the flap(outer and underneath).
Proceed with caution is what I would recommend. It gave the lamb on this mini flap a supple, silky hand and sheen. However, Meltonian did not take off this slight color transfer from a purple knit dress to the back pocket of my beige clair jumbo caviar flap--and that was the true reason I purchased the product to start with. Of course, only my neurotic eagle eye can tell it's there ..

more shots taken with room lighting, no flash. again, the section in question here is the front of the bag where the turnlock is attached...I applied Meltonian All Purpose to it and black stuff, looks like shoe polish creme, rubbed off onto the cloth I used for the application.

ooohhh i live in the uk too and am on a hunt for an appropriate leather moisturiser and cleanser...all i can find atm is collonil and that always seems to darken the leather so do post if you find something suitable!
Yes, Colonil is great for both shoes and bags. It works for all forms of leather, even suede and does great protective wonders!
I just bought the 3-in-1 version as well. Think it's their new product? I haven't used it on my Chanel, but have done so for my Mulberry and some shoes. Just spray on a clean cloth and rub onto the bag/shoes. It did take some (minor) red out of my red leather shoes but the shoes had been drenched in rain to begin with so it was probably not the effect of the Colonil.
The only thing I used on my Chanel red lambskin is the Colonil Pro-nano spray and yes, it doesn't darken the lambskin! My Miu Miu and Mulberry also benefited from it. No more rain spots. Highly recommended!

Dear love_miu.. Do you think that I can apply Colonil Pro-nano spray with my Chanel light beige lambskin? I've got the bag for a month but I never use it because of an afraid that the bag will get dirt

For vintage Chanel bag, I use Leather CPR. It cleans extremely well and conditions. I purchased a vintage Chanel with odor that smelled like mildew but after many applications of the lotion, all the grime, dirt and old black polishes lifted away from the leather. The leather retained its sheen after a buffing.
