Hi all, I just bought a preloved Boy in lambskin and I want to spruce it up a bit. It's in really good condition overall, there are just a few scuffs on the inside and it also has a slight smell from storage. I want to get the Cadillac cleaner but I see there are two on Amazon... the boot & shoe cleaner that everyone talks about and also a "cadillac select leather lotion" which is slightly more expensive and I guess is supposed to be more premium. Does anyone know which is better or if there is a difference?

Also any tips on how to get rid of the odor?

TIA!

Hi! I actually use the Meltonian Delicate Cream for my lambskin pieces and the Cadillac Boot & Shoe Cleaner for my caviar/calfskin pieces. Not sure if it makes any diff, but that's what my SA recommended. HTH. [emoji4]

I was told by several SA's not to put any products on the caviar bags at all. As far as lambskin, just rub the scuff with the natural oil of your finger. The ones I spoke to say "No" to any of these products mentioned. :-s

I actually have never heard that, I have many SAs from LV and Chanel that told me to use a leather conditioner with a soft cloth in a gentle circular motion with lambskin and caviar. I have also heard that you can use the oil of your finger to try to get it out as well though. The Chanel store in SF uses the Cadillac leather conditioner and showed me how to clean and care for it. But of course, you don't want to scrub it so hard that it ends up damaging the bag.

You must have missed the earlier photo from when I had to re-buy my products as they are in a box somewhere that I can't find, and I needed them for my new sale shoes and bag (and non-sale bags).

Oh my god, I Love leather care products also. Do you know which cleaning product for lambskin? I think its porous material so my collonil foam cleaner do not work.

I just bought this backpack yesterday and when I got home, that's when I noticed this scratch. I din't thinknit's a dealbreaker for me to return it.

I tried rubbing witt my finger and the cloth but it's still there. Any suggestions?

Thank u

Hi all,
Just wanted to share some before and after pictures of my 14C seasonal lambskin flap. I used meltonian delicate cream170 with a white soft cloth. The bag is my workhorse bag, overall condition for the leather is slightly dry with some scuffs at the corners and edges. Some scuffs were removed, but not all. I think if I have been more diligent in my conditioning and removed scuffs as and when I noticed them, I would have been more successful. So lesson learnt!

Ladies,

I am really worried about my red lamb Boy.
This morning it was a little crowded in the subway and some sauce from my tuna-avocado sandwich dripped throug the bag it came in on my Boy!

I have two big stains, I think probably fat (because of avocado and tuna) on my bag and I'm in tears. Do you have any ideas what I could do now?
