Sorry if this has been asked already. Is the Cadillac leather lotion good for both caviar and lambskin? Is it safe for all colors? TIA
Best leather conditioner/protectant on Chanel bags??
- Thread starter absolutanne
- Start date
Did you buff your handbag after allowing some time for the conditioner to dry?
I only ask this as I am curious, too, as to how the consignor immediately knew you had "treated" the handbag?
I have heard many opinions on shining monkey, appleguard, meltonian, etc... So many choices for leather protectors! Ladies, what do you think is the best for:
Reissue leather (distressed lambskin)?
Lambskin leather (non distressed)?
Caviar?
Calfskin leather (vintage ligne, cambon)?
How bout patent? I know it is lower maintenance than the leathers above, but do you put anything to maintain the gloss so the plastic sheen doesn't dull over time?
I baby my Chanel bags to death and I want to make them last longer than my desire for a new bag. Hehe.
Hi! I’m brand new on here but know that this is where the most knowledgeable bag people are. I have an older Chanel doctors bag and it looked like it was drying out plus there were a lot of scratches on it. A friend who also has many high end leather bags recommended a product so I used that. It’s been 6 days and my bag still looks splotchy. I applied it with a rag and it’s possible I used too much? After I did it, the entire bag was a little darker but it had just had the product on it. I went out of town and left it at home but when I came back, some areas are back to the normal brown but some are still darker. I’m so scared that I ruined it. I used the same product on my balenciaga bags with no problems and they look amazing . Please help! Here are pics both with and without flash. I couldn’t start a thread yet so I hope this is where I need to be posting this. If not, please let me know. Thanks so much!

Just came from chanel store and they said this is what they use[emoji3]
Thanks for sharing! Is there any difference between the two?
The first one says for boots and shoes . So my friend showed me the 2nd one thats is the same brand but for bags couches etc.
+1 on the first picture.
Every time I use to stain my light Chanel bags they would always clean it with that product. So I bought it too and if works great.
I actually bought the bullet and purchased from ebay.com, the postage was about £11 but I've just used it on a vintage lambskin and it looks divine now.
Handbag Spa based in the UK has a “Just Hydrate” and a “3 in 1” Everyday that they recommend for Chanel bags. I really like the Just hydrate.
My Saks SA said Meltonian neutral cream polish is good. I don’t like it for the lambskin though. Prefer the Handbag spa products. Hope that helps.
Hi! Please clarify, which one did Chanel recommend, because I just ordered the one in the second photo...the creme colored bottle. Thank you!
