Mine has been holding up VERY well.. but i HIGHLY recommend not wearing it with jeans. Even if you carry it on your shoulder the whole time it can easily rub off. I noticed this one my first beige flap (it may have rubbed on my jeans only a handful of times) and I could see it was starting to transfer.

Hey ladies,

I just got a beige Clair WOC with GHW in caviar a few weeks ago and have been literally using it everyday. One day the corner of my WOC rubbed against the side of my car and I got a dirt mark on it. Fortunately, I noticed right away and used some water and a tissue to wipe it off. How do you ladies care for your beige Clair bags or any light colored bags? This is my first light bag and I am so worried about getting it dirty lol.

Wow...now I am really worried too! I just ordered the beige gst! Since its bigger than the flap I am very concerned that it will rub against my tops and jeans! I only have the Danier leather kit.....should be ok?

Should be alright, :smile1: I am getting one myself but not in beige but in white. Caviar is built tough so it can take a lot, you might want to wash anything new before carrying your new bag so you don't transfer color but other then that you should be fine

I wouldn't recommend wearing either the beige or white with jeans that transfer color... It'sso sad to see the blue tinge. If I'm in a restaurant, sometimes I will place a white linen napkin under the bag before I place it down. I also carry the dustbag in my bag often to place it between the bag and an unclean surface. Even if it looks clean, chances are it usually isn't. :( I've tested this with a white ferragamo dustbag and the it becomes dirty super quickly!

I think caviar is still prone to color transfer for jeans etc. so carrying beige caviar etc might not b a good choice unless yr jeans has been so seasoned it's not affecting it. Or if u carry yr Chanel high enough (mostly for medium size is okay)

Well it is done all I have to do is pay for it which won't happen till the first of June but she is holding it for me, Since this will be an everyday bag I am not going to baby it nor worry about color transfer if that happens I decided I would get it redyed in a light gray color or another color of my choice. :smile1:

yes of course you have to pay for it which will be around 500 yes I would have the leather in the strap dyed to match, but I am not going to do this for quit a while at least not till the bag needs it, I am going to keep it white but (forgive me) I am not going to be anal about getting it dirty or heaven for bid it gets a color transfer on it, since it is a older bag 96-98 years (making it about 12-14 years old) I am going to use it, I figure I can keep it clean if it does happen to get dirty on it since it is a caviar leather it should be easier to clean.
