Yes different batches result in different caviar....you know the whole not the same cow used thing.
The original bag I had bought was what I believe the ladies on the other thread referred to as "stiff caviar," it was firm and I could feel the texture of the pebbles. The one I exchanged for has a smooth feel like patent leather even though it has the pebble texture..which the ladies are calling "soft caviar."
I get that they manufacture different batches and all, but this is a huge difference. I doubt I'd be able to find the "stiff caviar" and get them to exchange once again. I've heard of the SAs not acknowledging the difference.
Looking at this thread - not sure how each of these different leathers have held up during the years.

Hello!
Now that i own 3 items of that collection, im wondering do you ladies think the metallic sheen might wear off with time? Any one with experience if Chanel leathers/general leather treatment here?
I'm like all of us here would like to use my bags and enjoy them to the maximum but in the same time, the long term condition of them is important to me as i plan to keep them well .. Forever!
Thanks!

Hi guys! Does any one have tricks on how to create a patina and sheen on your Chanel caviar or lamb faster?
I just love it when they shine.
I have a caviar flap I just went over with a natural leather balm to take off dirt. It's clean and awesome but I lost a liiiiittle sheen. Any one have any tips and tricks?
Much appreciated!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My sales associate told me to use the Cadillac conditioner, she was using it in store polishing the bags, I have it but I've never used it yet. I did notice a beautiful sheen on the bags she used it on, I'm not sure about long term but I'm assuming they do it to all the bags there because another sa from a different location said the same. Hope this helps [emoji4]
Thank you darling!!!! Yes this was helpful
I no longer live in the US, so hope it exists here in the UK!
Here's hoping! Thank you! Very helpful indeed!❤️
10 minutes?!!! Wow! When was this? Just took in my jumbo and they sent to repair and will see the bag in a week or few! Iucky you! I miss her!
I have a GST in Caviar (black) and notice the leather has become a bit dry - its not as black as how it used to be when i bought it. So i bought the Coach Leather Conditioner.. Havent tried it tho on my GST. Anyone has experience with this product? Would thr black colour comes off when i wipe it? Thanks!
Hello everyone!
I just bought my first Chanel classic flap, and got it in black caviar leather but have seen some YT reviews that show how their bags start to wear off on the corners, and when I see older lamsking bags this does not happen (of course they scratch more and get flat but it seems that the quality of the leather is better). What do you think about this?
Anyone that has older (5+ years) both lambskin and caviar bags that can talk to me about her/his experience with them?
Thank you

Congrats on your first Chanel cf! I haven't owned my bags for 5 yrs, but I've had my caviar boy for 2.5 years and it's still in perfect condition, no wearing on the corners at all. As for my lambskin boy, it will be one years old in June, and unfortunately has scuffing on the corners, I am pretty careful with my bags, but I guess not careful enough. I think you made the better decision of the two on getting a caviar because to me it seems a lot more durable. Just my opinion. [emoji4]
Thank you! I think I will stick to caviar leather but will exchange it for onw with GHW because it is my first chanel bag so I want to have the classic colors

My personal opinion is that lambskin is so much more lux! If you use you bags with care, by not placing them on the ground, on the back of chairs in restaurants, not wearing it to crowded clubs, etc you will enjoy the beauty of lambskin much more than caviar.
