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

Hi,

I reviewed so many threads in this forum re caring for lambskin and caviar leathers. I tried Apple brand leather conditioner on caviar which was fine, no problem afterwards. Also tried Meltonian delicate cream (which a fellow TPFer said that her SA recommended) on lambskin/caviar, also fine no issue after application.

After cleaning & conditioning, I spray my lambskin bags with Apple Guard protectant to give them some protection against stains and water damage. I spary once, wait 30 min and re-spray then let dry for 24 hours. So far so good.

Good luck!!
 
So ladies, I bought myself a vintage beige classic flap a couple of days ago, and it's in great condition. The bag has some dirt on two of the corners, and one small spot in front of the bag. My question is: how do I clean the bag? I tried some the Apple conditioner, but it darkened the spots so I'm quite horrified right now.

Please ladies, tell me your secrets!

I wear my lambskin black jumbo once in a year. Im very sad about this but im afraid about the lambskin. Not so of scratches. There some scratches in the bag but i dont wear it often. I dont know why. But im afraid that the leather is so soft and it break or crack. I got this bag 4 years ago and i want to take it often. Today i think caviar was better for me ( my gst, medallion are caviar) but now i have the lamb and a new one is quiet expensive. Im very sad about this. :-(
 
Can baby wipes be used on lambskin like some use on caviar for a quick clean?

NOOOOOOOOOOOooo???

Use a cloth. I use a microfibre cloth.

actually lamb wasnt so bad to use. when there's scratches use hand to slowly massage the leather. i do it in a circular motion.

when i need to clean my white lambskin, i send it in for professional cleaning. too chicken to use any lotion.
 
quick question , i'm about to purchase chanel maxi lamb , do you think it will get out of its boxy shape? im a little bit concerned because im not going to carry so much stuff,plus ive read that people say its really soft.............should i switch to caviar ?
 
Just want to let my fellow aussies know that Pelle Leather Care CLEANER is great on light beige lambskin and doesn't darken the leather at all! I put it on a cloth and cleaned the entire bag with it, no change in colour and dries beautifully. NO chemical SMELL either so it's Perfect. It also has healthguard antibacterial/antifungal in it with protection against mold/mildew for 190 days. Purchased at safeway/woolworths as a cleaning kit, but the conditioning lotion stuff made one of my other bags darker though, so just stick to the cleaner. xo

If it's a classic with the hard bottom you won't have any problems. The lambskin is gorgeous, very special! Stick to the lamb as opposed to the caviar unless you tend to use for everyday.
