Caring for Chanel CAVIAR Leather

[bupbeteruteru]

I just noticed that my Chanel Caviar have some white stains that are not removable with water. Does anyone have an idea of anything that would help to get them off?

Has this bag been near moisture or water? How about humidity? On two of my cheap caviar bags from Donna Karan which were made very nicely I had the same problem. It was my fault. At work I kept the bags under my office sink that had a very,very microscopic leak. I could never get it out. It had to be from the chemicals put into the water. That is why I ask about the element of moisture near this bag.

Try Baby wipes for sensitive skin.

I had something similar on one of my Chanel caviar flap bags once... I never figured out exactly what it was. I think I had spilled something and when I wiped it off, the surface wiped clean but the deeper ridges did not because of the grain of the caviar, so whatever I spilled had dried into a whitish crust. I tried Cadillac leather cleaner but it didn’t work. I ended up using a toothpick (one with a blunted tip) to very very very gently scrape out the white bits in the grooves of the caviar... it worked great, but you need to be really gentle and delicate with it! Good luck!

Hi guys,

I made a new thread not realizing there’s a perfect one here to ask my question. I received my new to me, preloved Classic Chanel jumbo double flap in black caviar and was wondering if I should do a simple clean since it’s preloved? My bag is in pristine condition without any smell. I’ve heard others have tried something as simple as baby wipes. Looking to hear back on any suggestions

Thank you!

Help!!

I have either a crack or scratch on the front flap of my bag. If it’s a crack, could it get worse? Do you think this is something that could easily be repaired? (Sorry for the terrible pictures). It’s driving me crazy!

Thanks for the tip, I will try this out, GENTLY!

I’ve had good luck taking a Qtip, removing some of the fluff, and then rolling it as tightly as possible. Then I dipped the end in Cadillac leather lotion, and gently cleaned. It worked great when my daughter dropped her milkshake in the car, and it sprayed EVERYWHERE. Just be sure you don’t press too hard (so the center stick of the Qtip doesn’t press thru and scratch). Good luck!

You’ll probably want to get a leather conditioner to have on hand and use periodically to keep the leather soft and supple. Never too early to start! I love Cadillac Select leather lotion.....easy to find, not too expensive (doesn’t take much to condition), and used by lots of TPFers. I’ve also had good luck removing color transfer with Cadillac, if you should get any light or bright bags. I use it on my leather car seats, too!

It looks like a creased or deflated quilt. From what I've heard you can't fix it. You can try contacting leather surgeon and asking them if they can fix it . There are some thread about using a steamer or iron with a towel or something in between to get creases out (try to search the threads) but if it's a deflated quilt, it won't work. My best advice is to contact leather surgeon.

I recently bought a black caviar woc. How do you ladies store it? My SA told me to take it out of the bag and lay it flat. I did that for a few days and the puff seemed deflated on the flap... the insides were fine. Any insight?

Hey babe, I usually store it upright. I will be mindful not to over stuff the bag so that it won’t go out of shape. You have any pics to share?
