Hi all,

I got my first Chanel black cavier east west bag for myself today as my 31st bbday (only one i can afford now:p)..And i'm totally over the moon now..
Can someone ps advise me if i need to apply any leather protector lotion or something before i use the bag? I'm located in Singapore..and the humid weather is a real killer for leather bag..

I plan to use the bag for as long as i can..thus i'm too worried to expose it without using any protector at all :p

Thanks all

Caviar is a very resilient leather. I wouldnt worry about it. From time to time I use a leather conditioner such as apple conditioner or Meltonia cleaner/conditioner. But caviar is so tough, you can use it worry free. Congrats on your new bag.

Happy Birthday and Congrats on a lovely and practical first Chanel! I agree with the others, no need to worry too much about the caviar leather. It is very durable. So, relax and enjoy!

I'm very tempted to purchase a new flap in light beige... I love the colour, but I'm a bit nervous.

It seems that quite a few of you have purchased this gorgeous new light beige/beige clair caviar in various styles... how careful are you with it?

I had a disasterous experience with colour transfer onto a blush patent flap from a few years ago and now I'm terrified that I won't be able to wear one of the light beige bags with anything other than pure white!

Is this shade in caviar very prone to colour transfer or staining? Is it "tough" enough to withstand careful everyday use?

Many thanks in advance :)

I have a good look of mine. I think it does not seem to be tough for water resistant or color transferring. Protect with a water repellent product would be best to prevent unwanted accident spilling.

I think that part of the problem with the patent blush was the fact that it is patent. Patent is much more susceptible to color transfer than caviar. I have had a white caviar for a year with no problem. I just got a jumbo light beige caviar last week. I have only carried it once so far....so I am not a good judge of this yet. I will be interested to hear what others who have had the light beige longer have to say!

pretty careful if u ask me! mine arrived a month back

and i've been very careful that it will get the blue transferred from my jeans

so i only wore my paler and older jeans that have been washed many time when i carry the bag

still, i noticed yestrday it got blue streaks on the egde of the back pocket!!

i freaked out a little and grabbed a baby wipe to rescue my flap

and it wiped out instantly!! :) but mine is caviar though!!

i try to be more careful but i'm pretty happy with how it wipes out so easily :)

get one in caviar, u'll love it :)

Thank you so much for all your feedback girls :)

I think you're right about the patent LVDevotee... I'd never buy a pale patent again :(

e_pinpin do you mind if I ask which baby wipes you use? I hadn't heard of using them before... that's a great tip!

Do you think that you would get colour transfer from say a black woolen coat? I can easily protect it from denim, but I'm wondering if I could ever carry it whilst wearing darker colours at all? I hope so, because I love the contrast of the light beige against darker clothing... so very Chanel :)
