Glad this was helpful. I don't think you even need to wipe it down everytime. I literally don't touch it until I see dirt and I use a Chanel bag everyday, rain or shine.

Also, the Chanel guy told me... It's not just the leather, it's also the stitching that you are messing with. So he was adamant about just wiping only when you see dirt.

Just send your bags in every few years... They'll stay looking great! I do that with all my bags.

Good luck!

thanks for the great advice!

sidetrack: how do you store your bags? only in the dustbags or in the dustbag and boxes? read somewhere that you should only store your bags in dustbags :wondering

Hi.. I store my bags sitting staight up, no dustbags or boxes. Leather needs to breathe is what I was told. Seems to be okay for me.

Plus, I get to see them in my closet so I can rotate using them, and the bags put a smile on my face which is priceless. :-)

I heard from SAs at Chanel stores that the best thing is not to treat the bags. However, one SA at a different Chanel store told me that they clean all bags with Cadillac. :smile1:

In the past I used Leather Conditioner - Bick 4 and worked well on caviar leather. LOVIN MY BAGS has also several products for Chanel bags. I used their products for Balenciaga bags and they were very good. :smile1:

Hi! Chanabal is completely correct. I don't have a Chanel near me and I asked both Saks and NM how they clean and repair bags. The answer is that sometimes they use their local repair and other times, they send it to Chanel and then that takes longer.

So, I want Chanel for sure to clean my bag using their authorized repair stores. I have used NYC, ORlando, and Bal Harbour. All are fine.

Ironically, when I sent my white bag to Orlando for cleaning, they said it was sent to Chanel in California as that location did the white bags. That was a few years ago. Not sure what the process is for where bags go. When I send bags to NYC, they always repair locally but i expect most people send their bags to NYCZ. But I will say this... My white bag come back amazing... Brand new all white. California does a great job too.

Also, please note Chanel uses authorized repair companies to clean their bags. It's not actually all done in house in their NYC boutique...At least not the big jobs. Small jobs are done in house but cleanings are sent out from what I can gather. I had a small repair once and it was like "you want to wait for it".

Thank you Willeyi for your response! I had no clue certain colts were sent to different places. As long as the end result is superb then that's what matters. Glad your turned out so well! You have an envious collection of bags and ballets!

Below is what I got from Penny at Hirs:

We cannot recommend a product to condition the leather. However, we use in house….. on occasion….. on BLACK Lambskin and Caviar ONLY (Not COLORS)….. “Meltonian Delicate Cream #170.” Just a little on a soft cloth. Not to soak the leather. JUST A LITTLE AMOUNT. See photo attached. It really takes out all scratches from Lambskin. Such a great product.
This is what my manager wrote me.
Hope this helps.
