Could you please let me know what you used to clean this bag. I've bought Collonil leather conditioner to use on my bags but didn't think about what to clean them with first. I'll check Collonil for this a s well.
Lol. It should be easy if you already know the model number of the so black SLG and they should be able to check if there's one in a different hardware.Thank you! To be honest I was trying to avoid that, because I don't look forward to trying to explain all these details over the phone with my miniscule Chanel knowledgeI can't find the hotline you mentioned but the France website has all the stores listed with their phone numbers so I'll try and give one a call.
IIRC, the hotline number is usually posted alongside the store location (i.e. store locater tab).
The bags/slg I have to clean before I condition them are mostly Balenciaga- so they are all lambskin even though this leather probably differs a lot from Chanel, it's distressed to start with.
But I think you've provided proof it works, on a lambskin Chanel no less.
Thank you, I just now called one of the stores in Paris and the SA was very helpful although our connection was really bad (Lol. It should be easy if you already know the model number of the so black SLG and they should be able to check if there's one in a different hardware.
Skype!). He said that the calfskin with dark metal 2.55 does not come in silver hardware, neither does the lambskin 2.55 with the back zipper this season, only gold. I guess this means I'll have to wait another season. The dark metal hardware just seems too unpredictable when it comes to chipping.
the way they sell their items in everybody else's web store but their own.

I've heard about using facial or baby wipes before to clean bags but I've also heard the collective shrieks of those tPF:ers who say to "NEVER!!!" use them
I'm in the EU so will see what I can find here. Collonil also had some cleaning cream I could use before conditioning. My bags are not really dirty and the newer ones I guess I can just go ahead and condition.
Thank you for the advice
Sorry that the combination you want is not available, but hopefully you will not have to wait too long!Thank you, I just now called one of the stores in Paris and the SA was very helpful although our connection was really bad (
At least Chanel seem to put all their new bags/slg on their website, so you know when anything new is released. Balenciaga are driving me
Wow, you did that yourself? That's fantastic! No need to send it in anymore, IMO.
Good question! Re quality of old vs new lambskin, I can’t really be sure tbh. In my experience lambskin is not that delicate. I have a 1-series CF which was passed on from my mom recently and there was virtually no scratches/marks on it even though she used it fairly regularly throughout those years and definitely didn’t baby it at all. As for new, I’ve had my trendy CC for almost a year and it still looks brandnew. I used it 1-2 times a week and it went on crowded train, on the floor, in the rain, etc. But then again I’ve had it less than a year so not sure about the long run. Btw, I am one of those who do not buy caviar. I am very comfortable wearing lambskin bags and never find I need to baby them
