I bought GST beige about 2 weeks ago, and afraid of it getting color transfer, I put some TUMI Leather conditioner. The TUMI SA said that this items, not only condition the leather but also as a protector againts color transfer.

But even though I did put some protection, I will always careful around jeans ^_^

I have a beige caviar GST. I dont treat my bag with any protection leather and cleaner etc. after months using it, my bag still looks like brand new. I always bring the dustbag in side my bag. So when I am inside the plane, i put my bag inside the dustbag and put safely under the seat. Once I experience the colour transfer from my jeans in the near bottom of the bag. As soon as I notice I swipe with Dettol wet tissue and its completely gone. I think the caviar leather is a good choice for everyday bag. Simetimes I just wipe my bag with tissue paper after going outdoor for quite a while. It makes a dust not remain on my bag. The only change is GST will be sagging in a bottom if you have it quite long. Some people may think its a problem but for me I love it even more. It looks naturally cool and I dont like my bag too boxy and stiff.

i used a damp cloth (warm water) with johnson & johnson baby wash (yellow bottle) to clean my black & navy blue caviar to remove dirty white spots/dirt and sticky gum. then i wipe it dry with a non-alcohol baby wipe and let it air dry. if you can't wait for it to dry, you can wipe it with a dry microfiber cloth. i don't use any of those leather cleaner or conditioner. my bag still look pretty new.

Hi I just recently bought a beige chanel GST and I'm really worried of it getting stained!



Are these apple products useful?

And if so how exactly do I use them and how often? :)

I bought a 2008 pre-loved caviar PTT not too long ago. It is in pristine condition, but I wanted to clean and condition it after carrying it for about a month. I used the applecare conditioner to clean and condition it. I applied a small amount all over the bag using a soft cloth. Then using a flannel cloth, I dried the bag. I used the AppleCare conditioner on it a couple times now and my bag looks the same, always clean.

I had an issue like that with a couple corners and Chanel spa did wonders with it. Mine was red so I really needed Chanel to match the color. With black I guess you can try yourself. But if there are some other issues you'd like worked on by Chanel on the bag... spa is a great choice.

If the corners on colored caviar bags are chaffed / rubbed, will a spa get it back to near perfect condition. Will Chanel apply color to the rubbed corners? How much is a spa? Can you please post before and after pictures? TIA

Hi
I just got a preloved metallic caviar. Anyone can advise me how to care for it? Is it the same as my black caviar which is almost maintainence free? I have heard the metallic caviar may peel... Is that true
