besides cornstarch/talcum powder on oil stains and hoping that it will absorb the oil, is there anything else that can be done for lamb?

brought my jumbo red flap out for lunch today and got curry stains on her!

i pre-treated this morning with Meltonian spray, but that didn't seem to help much :(

I sent my light pink lambskin reissue to be cleaned by Chanel. It was returned a darker colour, the stitching is now darker than the colour of the leather and worst of all the texture of the lambskin has completely changed. They wanted to charge me $490 for the cleaning. It's so ridiculous because I feel they have ruined my bag as well. Should I ask Chanel for compensation? Has anyone had similar experiences? Or should I have been aware of what I was getting myself into?

Hi,
Do you have your bag before and after pictures? I had sent my light pink to Chanel spa a month ago. They didn't mention about re-dye the bag; they only said they would fix the stain spot. I was wandering if they can clean that. I hope it come out alright without re- dye the bag.

Hi everyone I've just gotten a lambskin jumbo in black and I know colour transfer isn't a major issue but I'm very worried about scratches, indentations, scuffs etc on the bag. Can anyone advise on how I should prevent this (if possible?) and how to treat it when they happen?

Thanks so much! :)

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 agree. I didn't have the guts to try this on my Chanels but did w my red Bali and not only did color come off but I feel like it hardens the leather. Stop usin it after.

Yes, Chanel will do repairs (not cleaning) on any authentic Chanel leather non-metallic bag.

After using my jumbo for a couple of days, I find that the back part where you open the flap, it seems to have creases (if I open it any wider the creases will be more prominent). Anyone else has this problem on their bags? I suppose this is norm wear and tear on flap bags but has anyone who's been using their jumbo daily has these creases? (sorry a newbie here)
TIA :)
