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.

I am confused and need help. I have a new black lambskin flap that I want to pretreat to protect from stains/water. Do I want to get the Meltonian cleaner/conditioner or the Meltonian Delicate Cream?
Has anyone used the cleaner/conditioner on a new black lambskin bag?
I have had the purse for several months now, but I am so afraid of using the wrong product.

Just to let you know that I just spoke with Barbara from LovingMyBags, and she told me they have a new leather cleaner especially designed for Chanel. I cannot find it on their website, but she told me just to select the lambskin cleaner and mention it in the note section. She said this works great with non-lambskin Chanel bags too, and also that it does not even remove the top coat on light beige lambskin even water could remove.

Note that, I am NOT affiliated with LovingMyBags at all, I just love their products. Since this cleaner is not yet on their website, I just wanted to pass it along.

Oh, she also told me they would discontinue Pro-Treatment because the new Botanical Miracle Shields outperforms it.

I ordered both today, and cannot wait to try them. :-)

I always spray all of my leather Chanel bags, LV vachetta, Gucci Gussimma, etc. with Cadillac Spray (green can-can find in handbag dept at Nordstrom). I use it on all of my leather shoes, LV accessories, etc. It does not change the color or have any build up whatsoever. And the greatest part about it is that you can carry a LV in the rain and if you get waterspots you just go home and condition with Coach Conditioner, let sit for few hours and reapply the Cadillac Spray. I recently carried my Totally Monogram on a trip up north and wore my black shearling coat that was suede on the outer side. The straps on the bag started picking up the black dye from my coat and all I had to do when I returned home was conditioner them and shortly after reapplied Cadillac Spray. I also Scotchguard the interior of all of my bags. I even bought a Jimmy Choo Canvas bag last summer and sprayed that real well with Scotchguard and then sprayed the leather trim with the Cadillac Spray. Be sure if spraying a fabric bag with leather trim to cover the leather while spraying the fabric and vice versa for the fabric so you don't bleed any dyes into each other! I find the best time to spray is on a very hot summer day cause everything dries quick. However, since I'm always buying new bags year-round I spray my bags and then hang or put them below a ceiling fan to dry quicker. Also, I recommend 2 coats of each.

I've *almost* decided to buy the Meltonian all-purpose leather cleaner and conditioner to use on vintage lambskin but I was wondering if anyone could help answer a couple of questions...

Does it smell? (If it does, does it fade quickly?)

Has anyone tried it on washed caviar? (I would like to use it on a half moon WOC too)

Thanks!

I used the Meltonian all-purpose leather cleaner and conditioner on by silver metallic reissue WOC. It does not smell, and even take out some of the stain transferred from my jeans

Hi ladies! Do you "waterproof" your Chanel bags? I was looking at the Apple Rain and Stain repellent spray when i ordered my appleguard conditioner and was wondering if that waterproofer is good/ ok for my Chanel bags or other leather bags...?

I used the Apple Rain and Stain Repellent Spray with all my Balenciaga bags and it worked great. In fact I sprayed my white Watercolor Speedy all over (including on the Vachetta handles) before taking her out and it worked fine.

I'm still uncertain to use it on my Chanels though. :shrugs:

And after reading all the comments about Meltonian, I'm having a second thought about it. :-s

I just purchased the LMB Botanical Silk Miracle Shield I heard in other threads that it was good for light colored lamb bags to protect them from oil and water stains and it does not darken or stain the bag. I hope it works! Keeping my fingers crossed! :angel:

Also on the LMB site it tells you which of their products works for each brand and type of leather see below:

BTW I have used Apple Garde for my white caviar to remove color transfer and that worked great.

i used appleguard cleaner on my *new to me* white caviar which was quite yellowed and used and it works great. i wanted the threads to be clean, so i got a toothbrush and brushed the threads and they got cleaner!

i also use the apple cleaner and care for my black caviar too.

i started using the cleaner for my red lambskin but i stopped cuz the red was transfering onto the cleaning cloth.

i'm thinking about buying melatonin.

hi dear! is there any colour transfer from your black caviar onto your cleaning cloth when you used appleguard care? i've only used the appleguard care on my miu mius and theres little colour transfer onto the cleaning cloth.
