Hello hello! Can anyone recommend a good leather care specialist in Sydney? I'd like to have my bag cleaned and conditioned as the lambskin has become a little dull after getting a little wet in the rain the other day.
I went to Chanel in Westfield Sydney to ask only to have two of their SA's say to me that they "don't clean their bags and it would never need conditioning." She specifically said to me, "if want your chanel to stay in good condition than don't use it" ... my reaction was kinda WTF.. I've spent thousands on this bag and you're telling me not to use it? A litle absurd. Suffice to say, they were no help.
Apple Brand has really good leather cleaners, conditioners and protectors (rain/stain repellent). I haven't used their leather conditioner on my vintage Chanel, but I wouldn't be afraid to test it on a small hidden portion of the lambskin leather. If you like the result, then you could use it on the entire bag. I decided to use Cadillac Boot & Shoe Care instead to clean and moisturize the lambskin on my vintage Chanel, as it was recommended by numerous Purse Forum members and also the Chanel boutique. It's really good because in one step I was able to clean and condition my bag to a soft, supple feel.is it safe to use apple guard leather moisturizer on my vintage chanel flap? thank you!
