my SA used Meltonian on a lambskin display model to show me how it removes scuffs, it worked before my eyes, they keep it in the back cupboard and use it on their bags... it must be the neutral meltonian cream, you can use it on any color just buff it into the areas or the whole bag.

I think I will get also the cleaner and conditioner in a lotion to act as a water repellent!

I have managed to find both on amazon, hope this helps.

Ooh. Which one did they use on the bag. What color was the bottle or tub? I have the blue bottle Leather Lotion and the White Bottle All Purpose Cleaner and Conditioner. I tend to use the white bottle on my Chocobar Lambskin.

The same thing happened to me! I just got a vintage Chanel lambskin bag and I wanted to recondition the leather so I used a special leather conditioner I bought safe for LV bags, which I also used on my leather couch and when I gently rubbed the conditioner in, black was coming off on the cloth!! I stopped right away!!

oh no!!! yeah i stopped also and tried it on the bottom of the bag just to be safe so no noticeable difference but now back to square one. did you find a different product that worked?

I found that one of my vintages had some color rub when I first used it, but when I did it again 6 months later, nothing came off. So I put it down to how it had been treated before I bought it (which is something we have no control over when you buy vintage). With my Choco-bar bag, however, this did not happen - there was no loss of color at all.

My conclusion was that the leather looked better after treatment than before.

But it is a purely a personal preference. If you are not comfortable, don't do it.

Has anyone purchased the Pro-Treatment cream & Lambskin caress from Loving My Bags?

I just got them recently, and used the Pro-treatment on a black lambskin WOC.

When I buffed it with a white cloth, some light stain got on the cloth, is that suppose to be normal???

There was no color loss or anything after I finish polishing the bag though, it looked pretty good.

I wanted to test it on the black WOC first, before I try it on my other lighter color flaps. Anyone has some experience with their product on Chanel?

TIA!

Ok... update on the WOC, it looks totally ok right now. No color loss or anything. The leather looks shinny.

And I just purchased a newer version of the pro-treatment, which is called "miracle shield" and I think it works better than the pro-treatment! I just bravely tried it on my fushia lambskin mini, and there was no stain on the cloth at all after I finished buffing. (unlike the light stain I got from using pro-treatment as mentioned above) The lotion was colorless, and after I put them on, the leather looks shining. I think I'm happy w/ that right now. Btw, I got the scentless version for miracle shield (the pro-treatment was scented, not that I didn't like the scent, but I think I like the original leather smell more)

Thanks. That's really interesting. I had a similar result from trying Saphir Creme Delicat. But when I used it, it became darker briefly then dried to the original color again. It had a very faint scent though. The miracle shield sounds interesting. How much was it please?

Hi all,

I just got a chanel classic flap in Lambskin but i dont know what is the best way to clean the bag in order to make it looks more shinny. Any recommendations? Where should i go in buying those cleansing products for Lambskin?

Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.
