Caring for Chanel CAVIAR Leather

[Lola24]

I've used leather cpr on it and coach leather lotion/cleaner, I have a pink caviar bag and it's kept it pretty clean, I don't think I've sprayed it with anything but come to think of it, I'll probably spray it with the spray I use on my LV vachetta to help it stay clean......It's a wilson leather protector spray or the like......

I have heard of people using saddlesoap on it - I'd be interested in any other suggestions too!

When I was in Chanel last week, the SA didn't recommend pre-treating the leather with anything special... I'm taking my new white caviar out for a spin with the girls tomorrow, so I'm hoping it stays clean!

Hi

I am considering purchasing a white Caviar small tote bag but would like to know how difficult it would be to keep clean and whether colours would transfer to it easily?

Thanks

White caviar is INSANELY easy to keep clean, crisp, and white!!

Color transfer happens but saddle soap (I think this is what Luccibag recommends) removes it faster than the blink of an eye!!

I haven't had problems with mine - very low maintenance. Any surface dirt has just wiped off with a damp cloth for me. I have saddle soap, but haven't had to use it yet on this.

haven't had any problems with mine so far...i took it out for the first time on my trip to Oregon this past weekend and it did great!

Phew, that's some great news! Can't wait for my SA's response of White GST ^^

thks...for sharing...

I was wondering whether I can use "leather" protector...on this jumbo caviar (white) too???

 

[laloki]

Thanks for your replies - it looks like my bank account will be a little emptier tomorrow - as the white caviar bag wont be as hard to look after as I thought.

does anyone know how to clean white fabric material (ie jersey)?

But is it easy to clean after you used some leather protector ?

I have a question about the corners, do they show wear and tear or are they indestructible like the black caviar?

I dunno if this indirectly helps, but I've seen on eBay auctions the pale pink Chanel caviar classic flap with wear on the corners so while I think you'll generally be safe with white caviar - I don't think it is protected from excessive abuse.

Saying that - I think a PFer earlier in 2006 had dropped her caviar classic flap and it bounced a few times on the parking lot, but when she ran over to inspect the damage - she was pleased to find there were none! I can't remember for sure.. but I think it was a white caviar classic flap!

I remember that post but I think it may have been the brown one, but I can't remember for sure. I seem to remember it was Roey?? But I could be way off.
