Guys I'm an idiot. I have a dior sample lipstick (had to buy from ebay because dior stopped producing) that has a rigid cap. Against my better judgement I put it in my mini flap yesterday and took it out for the night. It indented the inside of my mini flap 
I'm not exactly sure if the inside is lambskin as it's a caviar bag, but I thought chanel used the same material for the inside of all flap bags.
Probably nothing I can do to remedy this right?
I just got this mini a couple of months ago. I've watched tons of reviews on this and always wondering how people don't scratch the inside of their bags with the contents. Any advice? I need to get a key holder and then probably just need to be careful about what I carry.

Were you able to get the dark spots? I too am thinking of buying a preloved pink lambskin chanel bag in good condition but has a bit of darkening and I don't want to purchase unless I know I can get it out.

I put my keys and lip gloss in a velvet like pouch -I'm currently using a dark brown one I got from a Michael kors jewelry purchase.

Hi.
I saw this thread about ironing creases/imperfections and wondered if it might help you with the dent?
http://forum.purseblog.com/chanel/i-reversed-the-sagging-of-my-gst-916732.html
The url I'm trying to link, says it's an invalid extension. If you search the thread is in Chanel and called, "I reversed the sagging on my GST. "
Also my care booklet recommended using clean hands and gently massaging the area with your fingertips. Letting the natural oils from your hands rub out imperfections. Maybe one of the two will help you.
Hope you can get the dent out.
Thank you so much! You're very sweet to post these suggestions. I won't be able to iron since it's a small bag and it's inside the bag. I think the massaging might help though. Going to try doing that a little bit at a time and see what happens.
I'm also trying to just get over small imperfections and just enjoy my bag

Your last statement is the best advice. 😉
My SA says the same thing!!! he says lambskin will get ugly however with time it will get beautiful again..
Does anyone with an older lambskin bag have an issues with it having an iridescent sheen? My classic 2.55 medium flap is almost 7 years old. I noticed it 2 years ago (should have taken it into Chanel then) and I used to keep it in the box. Now I just have it in the dustbag. I tried the Cadillac leather cleaner on it but it doesn't get it out. It's kinda subtle though. Am I crazy for wanting it back to normal since now Chanel has all the iridescent bags on purpose?
I was wondering if I start using the bag more, will it go away since the oils in my hand will condition the leather? I'm curious if I should even consider having it dyed black. I noticed even on the inside of the flap, some of the burgundy leather is iridescent too.
Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance!

Take it to a boutique and they will do it for you. Same thing happened to my woc and they used a hair drier set to warm (from a distance) and the. Wiped it clean. But I wouldn't do it myself.
Omg gorgeous! Congrats, what a beautiful shade of pink! I don't know anything about collonil spray, but my two sales associates (both from different Chanel boutiques) recommend using the Cadillac conditioner, all the sales associates were polishing the bags with it, my sa polished my lambskin mini and my caviar boy with it. So far so good.
Yes it is safe. I've used it on many lambskin bags and all my lamb shoes. But it protects against rain/wetness, nothing else. Then after every 3-5 uses, bottles advises user to re-spray. If gets wet, wipe dry then when dry, must re-apply to be protected against wet.
