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

[pepperblush]

I merely need to rub vigorously with a tissue on a spot on my black lambskin for some black dye to stain the tissue. It's only a slight stain, but that certainly stopped me in my tracks.

Now I've learnt to moderate my force when wiping my bag over.

thanks everyone, at least it seems to be pretty normal problem.

im wondering if its dirt...
i get that when i clean and condition my leather shoes

if your white rag turns blackest of the black i wouldnt worry

maybe you should clean and then condition?

The same thing happened when I conditioned my new bag-I think it is just the excess dye-I had no discoloration or lightening on my bag-it still looks perfect!

hi all, my peachy mini flap was stained by my jeans... i usually cross over carry it.. i used baby wipes to try to remove the stains... yes the stains are lighter.. but they are still there...
what products shall i use to completely remove the stain? or the only way is to send it to channel for cleaning?

I'm desperately looking for sources to buy meltonian Sellrs that I find in Ebay usually only ship around US and not to othe countries

Im not sure if glazed lambskin can be used, as it's different from the normal lambskin..

Previously i found one that sell, but they want all my credit card numbers, including the secret numbers behind, I felt so insecure to give them.. oww

Hi, i saw your message and i just want to say that another member here from Purseforum recommend this site http://www.cedarshoetree.com/shop/index.php?manufacturers_id=14

Thanks for all those tips. Regina07: yes I am glad I changed my mind about caviar and I know I've made the right decision!

But what do you stuff your bags with? Does it come with something to stuff it? Also, can anyone in the UK recommend some products to use on lambskin because Apple Guard and Vectra don't seem to be available here?

You went with the lambskin. well done! doesn't it smell nice? I bought my first lambskin this week - havn't taken her out yet as I'm using it as an evening bag. Am about to purchase my first large jumbo flap in lambskin. I was told that the 07 lambskin is a bit more tougher than the 08 but I can't confirm that.

I've read a lot about protecting the bag when you first get it, but for me, I'm going to leave it and see how it goes.

useful thread tho

Hello Ladies!
I know this probabaly is a very much discussed topic anf there are several other threads about this subject, but i can´t not ask.
I just bought a channel medium classic flap in lambskin black.

I love it and been saving for it for more than a year. However, I am afraid of using it... sounds stupid i know.

Therefore i would really appreciate some advice in how to take care f it.
1. how to avoid statches, cracks, marks, ...?
2. how does it react when faced with and snow conditions?
3. what type of care does chanel gives to bags in "not so good" condition?

Last, should i change my lamskin for a caviar?

Thanks so much

Lamb skin is great. I would get some conditioner form lovinmy bags specially made for lamb leather. Just be gentle with your bag. Every once in awhile send it for a Chanel Spa. It will last for years.

i think the best way is to leave it naturally.. in due time, it will flatten all..

From memory i think some of the vintage bags were made with flatter quilting.
