The bag looks like it just need a good clean and as it’s black it can be easily touch up with a quality leather lotion? Alternatively leather surgeon is an option if you’re in the US, but I love your story! Really hoping my chanel can stay with me for a long period too with a lot of special memories!
 
Hi everyone, I just purchased this gently-used authenticated lambskin Chanel bag and I'm freaking out a little. I decided to condition it with the Cadillac premium leather lotion and was surprised to find so much black on my microfiber cloth! Does this mean it was covered with shoe polish?

This happened to me when i conditioned my brand new lamb bought from store so it could be the same here but im not sure... I was thinking it was more of an issue with chanel lamb tbh. I did the same with dior lamb and the cloth was sparkling clean.

Wow, so it was brand new? If so, then I guess I shouldn't condition it often as I fear the color will fade.
 
Hello ladies,
Just wanted to share my experience with leather surgeon. I live in Hong Kong and sent my heavily faded caviar square mini which I have used it to death since getting it three years ago. Leather surgeon has done a seriously wonderful job of brining the bag back to its former glory! I now know where to go for handbag spa/repair work if I ever need it again in the future! If you haven’t tried them, rest assure that they will do a brilliant job
