Hi! I know this is an old post, but which product did you use to "spruce up" your black lambskin Chanel handbag? I purchased a vintage black lambskin single flap and love it, but want to look a little shinier and condition the leather. The seller of my bag ( sells only Chanels and Hermes) recommended Black Rock. I tried it on some small areas and color transferred to my cloth initally, I buffed it out ...with a cotton white t- shirt material. Thank you in advance.
 
I use the Cadillac select premium leather lotion and I've seen many lambskin owners on here say they do as well. Highly recommend! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012O1XJNC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09__o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thank you for the prompt response. I will order Cadillac product that you suggested. Do you use another product after this or just buff it out with a cotton cloth?

We keep getting the same question as well. We have been using LuxDR Caviar Rx cream. It works great on Lambskin and Caviar Leather. I personally uses it on Hermes Epsom and Togo leather as well and it works fantastic. You can get it from Amazon directly.

Thanks everyone for the help. I ordered the lotion suggested and I gave her a good polish today. I'm very pleased, she looks brand new! Ready for the next party :P
Thanks again!View attachment 4090416
Can't believe she's 11 years old! She looks fabulous. Most people say not to store leather bags in the box because of mildew/humidity, etc... but it looks like your bag has been unaffected. She shines!

Hi all, does anyone know how to get rid of this? Looks like a nick in the leather? I’m not sure what it is but there’s a few of them on the back of my brand new never used lambskin mini. Any help would be great, TIA!

I tried attaching images w/ & w/o flash. This is my first post so excuse any mistakes!!!...... So I bit the bullet and tried it out. I normally use Cadillac on my bags. This boy is about 7 years old and gets abused and banged around a bit but it has sentimental value and I'd hate to have to find this combo again at the current price. I cleaned it with the green bottle Cadillac twice but it still looked dull so I went over it with Kiwi Express. My SA at Nordstrom only suggested Cadillac but whatever. It's super shiny now so I'm gonna buff some of that away but does anyone think the Express shine was a bad idea? I think this ones my only calf so any input would be appreciated!

I have recently purchased a Chanel lambskin bag. It's only 5 years old and I already saw some of the "peeling" or "cracking" on the back of the bag? Do you know if it will get worse? The seller accepts full refund if I am not happy with the bag. I am not sure if it is something that I need to worry. Your expertise here is much needed. Thank you so much!!! :heart::heart:
