Hi,
I also have a lambskin bag and I haven't used any creams or leather conditioner and I've found its quite damaged at the top, its gone quite rough, and it also got wet in th rain and the edge of the flap has gone a bit lumpy, so I suggest you take very good care of it, even though chanel dont recommend creams, use a very delicate conditioning spray so you dont add too much and wreck your bag.
xoxo

Just to summarize everything, buying Apple Leather Care Kit is enough to take care of chanel lambskin? Or do I need to get Apple Rain and Stain Repellent as well?

I'm not sure what to get because some people say no treatment needed and some say they use applegarde/lovin my bag product.
If I ended buy one of these product, does it come with instructions on how to apply it?

Thanks!

hey guys! Has anyone tried lovinmybags' new lambskin cleanser? I was wondering if it helps with scratches on a black/dark lambskin bag.

Can cleansers alone help with scratches? I was rather surprised, but this is what Barbara, the super nice lady at lovinmybags reccomended. Something to do with the product being a surfactant.

Anyone has tried Meltonian Polish Cream? It's recommended by my SA from 57th boutique to help removing the scratches. However, when I tried to order it online, I found it comes in over 20 different colors. What color should I use in my black lambskin? I remember the cream my SA showed to me is in a cream white color. I guess it might be 001 Neutral but not very sure. Is Neutral a clear color?

I found creases in the interior lambskin lining of my white caviar clutch. I conditioned it and found that it did look better. However, the creases were still there, I think due to the diamond quilting on the exterior caviar. Perhaps creasing would lessen if the lambskin was much thicker? I have lambskin gloves and they are thicker and do not have deeper creasesthan the leather lining in the Chanel bags.

the best thing you can do to get any light scratches out from a lambskin bag is to rub the scratch with the cloth you get with a pair of sunglasses or just your finger. the heat generated from the rubbing should lift it provided it's not too deep of a scratch.
I would put creasing down to it being just a natural characteristic of the product.
*Lambskin is recommended for occasional use only*

can meltonian be used on lambskin as well?
I saw raves of meltonian when used on caviar though.

I just purchased the latest silver flap with ghw, and I understand the lambskin used is different, what leathercare product should I use?

i use blackrock leathercare to pre-treat my red lambskin. Luccibag had a thread that suggets using meltonian all purpose leather cleaner and conditioner on both her red caviar and red lambskin and it worked well as well.

I wanna buy meltonian all purpose leather cleaner and conditioner, but can't find any sources to buy :(

I love Meltonian leather conditioner. I use it for caviar , lambskin and my python bags successfully. I buy it from my local cobbler shop, however, I have seen it for sale on ebay. Meltonian lotion is much better than Apple guarde, IMO. In my experience, it does not darken light colored leather, like Apple guarde. But always, test in a corner or bottom of your bag first.
