For the spray, do you have to rub it into the bag with a cloth, or just spray it on? I rarely take my lambskin bags out because I'm afraid of water getting on it. Tia!

First off, spray outside only!! Second, you just spray all of the bag, let dry then spray again. I think the bottle says 3 times but you have to wait til the bag is dry between each time (a few minutes will do). It will look like it is leaving spots from the spray but it won't. I've sprayed all my Chanel lamb items in all different colors and it has be ver ever left spots. In fact, they all have a nicer texture after being sprayed (and dried). And the smell does go away too (it's strong at first, hence spray outside only). Hope that helps!
Yes it helps a lot! Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me. I'm going to order it now[emoji16] [emoji16] I hate worrying about wearing my bags out .
Hi ladies! I just got my first Chanel in gorgeous lavender lambskin. I'm nervous about how delicate and light it is and want to protect it from water and oil stains. I feel like I've read so many things and now I'm unsure what to use. I already own the apple brand rain and stain repellent, but do you all recommend somethings over that? It looks like collonil, meltonian and Cadillac are all recommended on this thread. Any suggestion for which would be best for this bag? Thanks!!!
hi arlene - is the cadillac conditioner your SA used the boot and shoe care or is it actually called "cadillac conditioner"?? thanks!
This is the exact one they use, the boot and shoe care. I was scared but I saw associates at another Chanel location using the same stuff, so I'm comfortable using it now. Hth!
Help!
I just received my vintage chanel diana flap the other day and my younger sister accidentally sat on it.. yes, she SAT on it (#heartbroken) and now there is creasing going end to end across the bottom. It was in amazing condition and I could not have been happier with my purchase up until she got her bum on it!
I've read and youtubed ppl using their clothes steamers or irons over damp towels on leather sneakers and other leather bags to get creases out, but can't find anything for lambskin chanels. Help!! It's too beautiful to be flawed in this way!

OMG .. Sorry to hear about your flap. Do you have pics to show the damage? I hope you could minimise the damage using the method mentioned by some members here.
I'm so sorry to hear that [emoji53] . I actually read somewhere here on the forums that a tpfer used the iron/steam method on her lambskin flap. She used a towel over the bag and I believe she used the delicate setting on her iron and she managed to removed the crease. I'm going to search for that thread now and I'll link it to you . I remembered seeing it in the gst thread, someone asked if it were possible to use the method on lambskin and someone had tried it on her lambskin flap.
