I love the chanel bags and so far I've always bought all black, just because I was afraid that if I took dirtied clear.
but soon I would also buy a jumbo beige or a beige GST.
 
Ok, all you wonderful Chanel experts:

My first Chanel is a white caviar classic flap. What do I need to do to take care of it? What can I use to clean it? Should I treat it with something? I am terrified to change the white color at all!:push:
I use Apple leather conditioner on all my leather Chanels. I dropped my purse in the club it was disgusting, and the conditioner cleaned it and made it like new again. I don't believe in not putting anything, leather needs care in my opinion.
 
I have had Chanel sales associates tell me that you do NOT condition or treat lambskin OR caviar. Only do anything if a stain happens, etc.

Also, they say that both caviar and lambskin will get more beautiful over time as the sheen / glow that you oftentimes see on pre-owned bags is created by USE!
 
My fourth Chanel, I treated myself to a beige ghw jumbo double flap, I have had it 3 years, only used it about 10 times.... Because the backside of the bag has transferred color. I have tried sunlight, leather cleaner, soap and water. I don't know what else to do?! I'm scared to use it crossbody with any clothing but WHITE. how often so I wear all white?!!
I'm thinking of selling it now while its not noticeably damaged. Do i have any other options?! Help!!!!!
 
Just purchased the Meltonian Boot & Shoe Cream Polish # Delicate Cream on Ebay to treat light scratches on my black lambskin M/L. (Thinking of purchasing a white flap in the near future so purchased color # White as well thanks to Tutushopper who gave some good advice on this)

Will the delicate cream also help to remove color transfer and other stains from a beige caviar Jumbo or would you prefer Apple Leather Care for that?

u can take it to chanel for repair. GL it a beautiful bag im thinking of getting one too ,but the price is just insane.
 
Has anyone noticed color transfer when wearing something silk? It feels like that material doesn't transfer color... But I'm a little afraid of wearing a blue silk dress with my white caviar. Any experience with this? TIA
 
Hi ladies,

I inherited a Chanel black caviar wallet from my mother but there are makeup stains on it (I think the stains are mostly from liquid foundation). Does anyone have any tips in cleaning the stains? I initially tried a baby wipe and the stains became less noticeable, but they are still there. Some of the stains are also glittery (which I don't know how because my mother does not wear glittery makeup). Any suggestions are greatly appreciated?
 
Has anyone tried spraying waterproof / stain spray on the new Suede Caviar? I usually spray meltonian spray on my Suede shoes and Caviar chanels. I want to prevent some of the staining the Suede Caviar is prone to.
 
I haven't even had my GST for a year and already a corner is damaged. It appears as though the orange layer is peeling. Is there anything I can do?
