Hi All-
The SA from Chanel boutique told me to use this for caviar and lambskin:

The SA from Nordstrom (with a Chanel) said the same. Though, he said to not use it on lambskin on your own because the dye can rub off. He said to let a professional do it if it is lambskin.

I believe it cost like $6.50.

HTH.

Hi Ladies,

I've been reading the cleaning threads and it's a big collection of discussion over cleaning, and each posts switches between black caviar, colored cav, and black lamb and colored lamb and I got so confused! Hehe... not sure what the BEST for lamb anymore. I find that some great ladies here provide wonderful reviews of products, but they only mention "works great on my lambskin!" but I end up wondering, colored or black?

Can you ladies help with the final verdict? What's the best product for non-black lambskin and black lambskin?

Please post your experiences and indicated what color lambskin you have and what product did you use - and any techniques? IF you ventured into baby wipes, please post the brand too!

:p

Does anyone know of something safe I can clean the lambskin leather of my purse with? The bag is a dark beige, I haven't worn it alot but it is starting to darken in places a bit. It seems like surface dirt, does anyone know of anything safe I can clean the leather with? I would love any feedback!

I have the same bag, and the corners already show a bit of wear. It makes me upset Wish I knew some kind of stain or color. It is not dirt.

Thanks for all the feedback! It's so disappointing to pay thousands on a bag and after a couple weeks of wear, it looks like you've worn it for years. I attribute this to the color. My two black Chanel's have worn much much better! I've been tempted in buying a white Chanel (I think they're georgous) but it would never last a week! I really am careful and store my bags properly, it's just the downside to a lighter colored bag I guess? Thanks again to everybody who responded!

it's a problem with light colored lamb, not usually light colored caviar.

Most stains to clean up, because you said that your bags are patent leather, certainly not to penetrate skin, and wine in General on rubber (gum or something) clean up better than you think. The most important thing is, don't leave any traces after the clean up, even if it's nothing, it in no way affect the inclusion of color and quality, get a small cotton swab, patience rub it, will help you save money
The way a Word.

One more vote for meltonian leather cleaner and conditioner. I have used it on my light beige caviar. It works like magic!! It cleans so well and leaving the bag looking fresh. but i have not tried on lambskin. One tip i have is, don't rub it too hard on the bag to be safe. :) good luck!
