Black is so hard to tell from photos.
I would check into the thread piercings. Do you see paint residue in them?

I’m sorry for the late reply, I had not checked into the forum often enough lately.
yes, I just use my figure to touch the leather or lightly buffer it to see if it is smooth and easy to buffer.
Once the cream is dry, light buffering will immediately bring the leather to shine.
Do you feel the same from your experiences too?
I couldn’t tell a drastic difference after conditioning, but it didn’t ruin it either so I think I’ll continue conditioning it at hope that it softens. I couldn’t really tell if there was dye in the threads, but it’s not a big deal to me that it was, for the price I got it and the fact that it’s vintage. I think overall it looks great! Thank you for your response!
Have you tried the Lexol PH to deal with ”sticky” caviar leather bags? Mine is silver and I live in very humid place. Thank you!
Have anyone tried Saphir for ”sticky” caviar leather? Mine is in silver color.
I went to Chanel store here and they said that they don’t do leather restorative works. What a bumper. I read in this forum that Chanel bag price increases will level Hermes bag prices. I suggested to staff that Chanel needs to “up” their leather repair/restorative services to, similarly, match Hermes

Thank you! I’ve been looking for info to sanitize/remove odors to my vintage bags.
Hi ladies! I need help. I put this product on my chanel vintage diana and it made the bag matt! What is happening? Everyone here says it will make the bag shine after buffing?! I waited 3 minutes for the product to dry and buff but it seemed to strip away the shine and rubbed the leather raw!!! 
Oh no…I’m so sorry. I’ve never used that specific product and this has never happened to me, but I have heard of several people who have suffered this dull consequence after using a variety of different products. People have speculated as to why it happened but no one seems to know for sure. One tip I’ve read: your bag may be over saturated so some people have had luck actually waving a hair dryer over their bags for about 5 or 10 minutes. Just don’t get too close and be sure to keep the dryer moving across the bag the entire time so your bag doesn’t receive too much concentrated heat all at once. Maybe it will work for you too. Again, I’m so sorry this happened. But hopefully you can remedy it…keep us posted. Good luck! ❤️
I am a big fan of the Cadillac Select Leather Lotion Cleaner and Conditioner as well as the Cadillac Select Premium Water and Stain Protector.
Have you used the Cadillac Water and Stain Protector on light colored lambskin? Any texture changes?
I have. I first sprayed the bottom of the bag and left it for a few days. After seeing that it was pretty much invisible and didn’t leave a residue or change the lamb in any way I sprayed the remainder (covering the turn lock). It’s been fine. Definitely spay an inconspicuous spot and let it sit. You can decide if you are comfortable with spraying the rest of the bag.
