Sorry I replied on the wrong thread;


I would take it to Chanel, it needs to be moisturized it seems....I have heard of them replacing a bag with receipt if you have it for a defect if it's a very recent bag, otherwise you will need to pay for the repair.

Dear tPFers ,
I just bought this m/l, should I be worried about this hole from stitch? It looks like leather is cracking. TIA

I have a beige claire jumbo and I use Cadillac leather conditioner. I picked it up from Amazon.com Nordstrom also carries it. Also, the spray all weather protector from Cadillac think it's protected it very nicely for over a year. Take your lovely wallet out and enjoy her.

Hi ladies! Does anyone know if the Cadillac conditioner and spray would help prevent the corners of caviar bags from rubbing? One corner of my black GST is starting to show wear even though I'm SUPER careful with it. I don't want this to happen to my beige GST too as I hardly ever even use it because I'm so worried that the corners will rub. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

I recently pulled out an older SHW flap (made in 2006). Do you know what those dark spots on the back plate maybe and how I can remove them? so sad..... I tried metal polish cloth and toothpaste. Both didn't work so far. I am worried that it's going to get worse. :sad::sad: Any insight and advice is truly appreciated.

It looks like it tarnished. [emoji45] I would bring it back to the Chanel boutique, and they may be able to replace the back plate for you.

I had a vintage Hermes Herbag with the same dark spots on the platinum hardware.. I used a silver polishing cloth on it and the spots rubbed away. I'd test that on a small spot if you're desperate, it may work, but it may not.

Hi guys!

I have a two year old classic jumbo and just noticed that the inside edges of the red leather lining are really worn! Like scratched and leather peeling sort of. Can add photos if you like later.

I do use my bag but I am carefull with keys and other items that might scratch the inside. Any ideas what to do about this? It´s not a huge deal since it´s the inside but still. I´m thinking condition at least so it´s not dry....

Anybody else have this problem?
