Hi ladies! I just got my first Chanel, a new medium boy in black caviar. It's so beautiful and in gorgeous condition with shiny, grainy caviar from 2014. My only issue is that it has a little bit of an odor on the exterior and interior. It's not terrible, not enough to return as the overall condition is great. I don't even know how to describe it other than a little funky, lol. I'd like to use something to clean the exterior to hopefully get rid of the slight smell. Suggestions? Also, is there anything I can do to clean the interior? The interior is black.
Also, it came with a white Chanel dust bag which is a bit dirty. How should it clean it? Hand wash in the sink with detergent or throw in the washing machine?
Here's my bag.
Congrats, what an awesome find! I have the old medium version, I have never used anything on my bags until I went into the boutique to pick up a bag I had on hold. The sales associates at the boutique were polishing the lambskin and caviar bags with what looked like a lotion. I asked my sa what they were using, and it was called Cadillac conditioner. It can be purchased at nordstroms or Amazon. My sa cleaned my boy bag with it and I was really embarrassed by how dirty my bag was ( I had no idea because I never cleaned/polished it). Lol, anyway, it brought a nice sheen to it. The other Chanel boutique I go to use the same conditioner/cleaner. I've only used it one other time since. As for the Dustbag, I never received a white one, tbh I would be afraid of washing the Dustbag in the washing machine, perhaps hand washing it would be best. Congrats again on such a rare beauty, hth !
