Gorgeous color! For the colored caviars I use clear shoe polish for the moisturuzer, of course it darkens slightly at first but it lightens back up, make sure to use a super super soft terry cloth or really old t-shirt. I just completely redid a black matte bag and it looks like the first day I got it, but I added extra coats to make it a little more shiny ☺️💐
What IS this bag???? It's an AMAZING color!!! I don't use anything to treat my caviars. I have the same experience that other have had -- sort of seems stain proof and waterproof!
This bag had known issues when it was sold last year. The pebbles were worn off some bags new in the box. Chanel cannot refurbish this material, either. I'd not want to tell you to put anything on this particular leather treatment for fear it would mess up the bag. It's a dirt magnet, so I fear it would soak up anything you put on it and cause stains.
Did you recently buy this? If on a resale site, can you return it as you now know it's not a long term use bag?
Ebay but no returns.
well now i feel stupid... I was excited about the color. Now i'm scared!
Ebay but no returns.
Nothing on ebay is no returns. They advertise right on the site that if you aren't happy you can return the item. You bought a bag you thought was fine. It's not fine, it's made from a material that can't be refurbished and has bits probably already worn off. That means SNAD. Go on over to the ebay boards and see how it works.
If you keep that bag, you should be worried. It's not a consumer friendly material.
The bad thing is that i payed through paypal not ebay because it was cheaper. #noobproblems
Hi everyone,
I just got this Easy caviar flap a few days ago, and already got color transfer on it from a black coat The caviar on the bag is much softer and less shiny than on GST and PST for instance, and now I'm worried I can't get it off. Any suggestions on what products might remove the color transfer?? I'm getting desperate...

Maybe magic eraser?
Ms. Affliction may I ask how did you redid your black matte bag? Just curious to know😊. Did you do it on your own or through Chanel? And if you don't mind would you post a picture? I would love to learn! Tia 😊
Ive used Apple and Lovin My Bags products in my bags (Chanel, Balenciaga, etc) and they are all good. However, in an attempt to recover a backpack that I thought it wasnt that good to send to Chanel for refurbishment (I barely use it), I came across Bick 4 leather conditioner. In my opinion it is not only much cheaper, but it is a better product.
Chanbal, may I ask if you are still happy today with the Bick 4 leather conditioner? Do you still use it? Do you use it on light and dark color bags to condition or stain remover? Do you mind telling me where you purchased the Bick 4? TIA!!!!
Btw, I also use lovin my bags, apple guard and Cadillac

Hi Yeanett, Bick 4 is a good product, but I have not been using it lately. My last project was to waterproof light colored Chanel bags, and I am still recovering from the strong smell.
I would say that Bick 4 is comparable to Cadillac, so you may not need it.
