Lucy, for Prada nylon bags, I wiped and sometimes washed them.
However, if the bottom of the bag has a cardboard insert, avoid getting the bottom wet. Cardboard gets wet could come apart.

Thank you very much. Now, with covid19, I'm a bit scared about the way to sanitize the bags without damage.
I received my Saphir Renovateur today and tried it out on my vintage beige Diana. Prior to today, I had been applying the Cadillac Boot and Shoe cream. I probably applied around 10 layers of the Cadillac over a 2 week period.
I feel like it’s hard to tell the difference on the quilting. You can tell that the smooth inside of the top flap is significant more shiny, but the quilted areas look about the same. The biggest difference is the texture of the leather - it feels significant softer and more supple.

What a beautiful bag! Absolutely stunning! 
Thank you for sharing.
I also had a patent leather Mini could use a little polishing.
I knew Saphir had a product for patent leather, but I was too cheap to buy another leather polish since I had bought so many before investing in Saphir.
I think the result is pretty good. There is no sticky residue.
I have left the back Mona Lisa pocket untouched by Saphir for comparing purposes. From the photo attached, I wonder if you can tell that the area, where Saphir was applied, is now in darker black than the pocket.

I just used Saphir delicate creme and it worked like a DREAM and it smells even DREAMIER. Saphir products are truly the best imho. I don't have a before but here's the after!!! I just used my fingers to apply to the bag as you would apply cream to your skin. I conditioned the bag 2x in a row, applying light to medium amounts each time. Never did it ever turn a different color or change to anything negative!! ... I also tried the Saphir patent cream on one of my black patent Chanels but it didn't change a thing imho. I'll try again tmrw and upload.
Yes agree that the Saphir products smell SO GOOD! I couldn't stop sniffing my bag after.
Would you mind linking the exact one you use? I’m having issues with my beige jumbo after spa and I’d love to use what you’re using!
Of course here it is ... https://www.kirbyallison.com/creme-delicate.html .. I buy all my Saphir products through this site, you can even email or call them and they can help you regarding Chanel bags. They are so helpful it’s insane!!
It’s actually OOS from the link I sent you. I must have bought the last one. I see it on Amazon but it won’t let me link. But now you know the product and what the box looks like. Lmk if you still can’t find it

Yay!!! You will LOVE IT .. pls send a pic after u condition it!! Remember use ur fingers like you would for moisturizer.. it comes w a chammy but fingers work bestThank you so much! I ordered it off amazon
I had good result using Saphir Renovateur on my Chanel patent mini. The body of my bag became shinier and darker in black without any sticky residue.
However, there were a few spots on the strap had become sticky due to age of the bag, the Renovateur cream couldn’t help restoring.
I knew Saphir had a product for patent leather only. Yesterday, my free eBay points came in, haha, I used the points to purchase one but requested for cancellation immediately.
I found out this Saphir, Saphir Vernis Rite,
for patent leather, contained turpentine oil which was a paint thinner.
I wonder if that turpentine would strip away the plastic coating on my patent leather and make it worse.
Could you tell me what kind you’re using on you Chanel patent leather bag?
Do you like it? Did you have sticky spots too? Thank you.,
Hello There, bealright, I like the name ‘bealright’.
If you don’t mind, Could you tell us what kind of issue after having the spa treatment? Where did you send your jumbo for her spa treatment? Thank you.
p.s. I would use a damp cloth or non -scented baby wipe to wipe off your bag before using Saphir, because she probably still has coats of previous leather conditioner from the spa.
