i just want to share: i tried apple conditioner on my vintage 'lamb' jumbo because i noticed a really dark brown mini patch (like .5cm2) on the inner flap (yes and i freaked out!) but it came out really nicely !!! see the brown residue? completely transferred onto cotton pad, which is a trick my col taught me! no need to use cloth.. haha.
no, i plan to use some lambskin products i got, just don't tell chanel you used anything. Lambskin does get color transfer easily you can't be expected to sit around and not clean it till you get to a store
Would like to update everyone on my lovinmybags experience with their most delicate range for lambskin. I tested it on my bright blue lambskin bag. I wanted to clean an area that had very slight darkening due to a black top i wore. Started with cleanser in an inconspicuous area (inside of outer pocket) to test color steadfastness with the cloth they provided. Color of the bag started coming off even though i wasn't rubbing, it was a light sweeping motion. SO i stopped!! NExt i tried the moisturizer, again on the inside flap area which is totally inconspicuous, color on the cloth again!! And i noticed when i strained to look into that area that the leather got darker, not a good thing.
I reject these products completely, this lady Barbara shouldn't be selling them as lambskin care. I'm just going to take the bag into chanel and have it cleaned and sealed next time im in NY.

I have the ivory Lambskin jumbo from 12C and I used loving my bags products to Pre-treat it. All light color bags can easily get dirty or color transfer. I didn't have any problem with my beige Clair yet, but I did have color transfer on my mini light beige. Since i Put protectant on all my bags, I was able to wipe off the color transfer easily. I would say if you love it then get it. I believe bags are meant to be used!
With most lambskin finishes you will get a fair amount of colour transfer (Crocking), both in regular use and when cleaning. You should use a mild leather cleaner and allow to dry thoroughly before applying a protector product. Lambskin/unfinished leathers may darken with a waterbased cleaner, but will dry back to the original colour when allowed to dry naturally.
The sa whom I bought the red lambskin jumbo flap demonstrated this cream on the display of the same bag. He said that it won't darken the colour. But I saw that there was a little bit of colour transfer. Anyone else got the red lambskin that's an orangey red? I think it should be 12Cbut not too sure, color code is red.
A little worried if I have to baby this bag
btw the sa offered to rub meltonian over the entire bag before he sent it to me but I told him no need. He can't sell it until the 29th and since I'll be in another city by then I had to pay additional for shipping.
