How to remove scuff marks on lambskin Chanel? Pls advise...
When I bought my WOC the SA said that you have to rub with the palm of your hand. Don't use any products on lambskin.

My father trades leather of all kinds and he never advises to use products. If you have a mark on your bag, you can try to reduce it with a pencil eraser...
Hi, 26Alexandra. Thanks for your prompt reply. Those marks I am referring it's something like the leather has minor peeling due to abrasion such as the leather rub against our clothes when we carry it. I hope you know what I meant. Cheers.

Now I understand! I don't think you can do anything about that.
My aunt's vintage chanel has that too. And the bag is white

I know a repair store can do restoration by getting a matching color to touch up. I don't know the end result will be good a not.

Ask to see some of their work; that way you will know what the end result would look like. If it's just the corners, those can be touched up with matching color. I'd much rather touch up the corners than have the entire bag redyed, as that will affect the feel of the whole bag, but that's up to you. Best of luck! I've had great luck with Meltonian products on lambskin, but sounds like you might want to visit that repair shop and see what their work is like.

Meltonian can solve the problem? You tried?

I don't have bags with worn corners, but I have seen bags that were treated with colored Meltonian that did have this issue. You would need the exact same color, and I don't know what color your bag is. I might leave this to the pros if it's not a black bag.
I just bought a vintage black caviar and the interior black lining was giving flaky black stuff (I guess it's because of usage and old age). I first used dry cloth to go over the interior. However, after one use, my red wallet and white sunglass leather case were stained with black colors on edges. I decided to use a tiny bit of Leather CPR applied on cotton pad and wipe the interior leather. The minute it touches the leather, I freaked out! The cotton is stained Black! Is it normal? When dry, there is no color transfer, just slight mark if I rub it over with dry cloth.

May I ask how you keep your corners so nice? That sounds funny I just purchased a preloved and the seller said she used a bag hanger? Not sure what that is but are there tricks to keeping rung wear away> I am seriously thinking of leaving a small square of felt in the bag to set under it ? Thank you! one other question do you use appleguard or any product on caviar? Thank youTutu
I'm not tutu but I can tell you what a bag hanger is, maybe it helps. I also use a bag hanger, it's a tiny thingy that you can use to hang your bag on a table or whatsoever, so it doesn't have to stand on the floor, I've attached random picture from the internet so you get an idea
I really like it since I live in Amsterdam, lots of restaurants are crowded and I don't want to take an extra seat for my bag since chairs usually are taken, this way I can hang my bag on the table because I don't like it to stand on the floor.
You can find bag hangers in many stores, webshops and ebay and stuff

One of my best "secrets" for good condition is hanging the bag on a doorknob or back of a chair or hook in the closet. It's there when I need it so I can grab and go. I don't use bag hangers. I don't use appleguard but I have put leather conditioners on caviar shoes. I have an arsenal of leather products that I use on exotics, lambskin, and calf. For caviar, you can use things like Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP and Blackrock's or leather honey, or you can use the same things you'd use for lambskin. I really do use a variety, and since caviar is calf, you have a lot more choice of products than lambskin.
