Chanel Lambskin - how do I clean it/care for it?

[Swanky]

I don’t use anything on my bags, not even my beige or light grey lamb!

Same I usually don’t put anything on my bags but the lambskin on my light grey bag looks a little dry. Not sure if the leather is just that way or this dry cold weather and heat is affecting it.

Use the cloth it came with or rub the leather with your fingers.

Thank you I will try this out!

Hello, just got this pre-loved beauty and touched up the corners using Saphir Renovating Repair Cream (which worked great - see pics) but am not sure what to use for the white portion of the bag. I'm not sure if the marks are scuff or scratches, but I tried Cadillac Cleaner/Conditioner and a white eraser (separately) with no effects. I tried to research it but I'm not even sure what the material/coating is used to create this white color on top of the black leather, so it's hard to find info. Anyone have any ideas?

I know I can take it to a cobbler or submit it to a spa, but if there's something relatively simple I can do myself to touch it up, I'd rather go that route. If not, I may just live with it as-is for now. Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

BTW - TOTALLY recommend the Saphir Renovating Repair Cream per these tutorials:

Hey everyone

I saw this vanity in shiny burgundy lambskin and it has scuffs/scratches inside it at the bottom



There are more scratches than what I've circled there at the bottom 🥴

Is it possible to remove them and how?

Have you seen brand new pieces in store that have such defects?

 

[elaineiwhite]

Rub your finger on the scratches in a circular motion

Thanks for your advice. I’ve tried and it didn't change anything

I have sworn by Cadillac leather care lotion for all my designer leathers -- calf, lamb, goat, cow

If they are surface scuffs or fingernail markings, you should be able to smooth out most of them. If the scratch is deeper into the leather, you might improve its appearance, but it won't remove it

This is the original

I don't know if this just new packaging or a new formula

I've purchased/used both

Here's a Celine box I purchased back in 2011
It was badly scratched & scuffed (original pics on p1)
I used Cadillac and was amazed at how much it improved its condition (p.3)

I rub with the white cloth Chanel gives you, but also embrace scratches in my lambskin bags

Hi all, I have a vintage beige tote (1 series) that is now quite stained (random stains and colour transfer). Any recommendations for removing stains please?. Leather is quite soft, no cracking as I have conditioned yearly for over 10 years that I have owned her. Thank you 🙏

All,

I got color transfer on my brand new yellow lambskin bag. Can anyone recommend what product I can buy to get rid of the dye? Anyone send this out for spa? Any idea of the cost at Chanel?

I would try and tackle it immediately with either some Cadillac or Colonil gold pro or something similar. Time is the key to get colour transfer off and then protection so it doesn’t happen again. Good luck!

Hi! I’m terrified to wear my red lambskin. I just know I’ll mess it up 🙄. Have any of you used applegarde or any other waterproof spray on yours? I thought applegarde but I’m scared to use it.

No, I’ve never treated my lamb, I’ve never treated any of my Chanel bags. Not in 25 years.
Lamb isn’t fragile.
