I was in the Chanel store two weeks ago and I asked about what products they recommend to care for lambskin leather. Low and behold the SA pulled out a bottle of Cadillac Boot and Shoe care leather conditioner. She said that's the only product they use at this store and then she actually proceeded to use some on my bag. It turned out fine.

That's what my SA at the Chanel boutique told me as well. She did say Apple is good too but they use only Cadillac at the store. I was there yesterday with my old lambskin satchel and she conditioned my bag for me and it looks great.
They both work on lambskin, so they'd also work on regular leather as well.
Thanks tutushopper.
I've been researching this "how to clean" question since yesterday, when a waiter at a restaurant dripped water all over my lambskin bag---and it was my birthday!. I figured out I need to send it to an expert to look at, but in my general reading I found many more recommendations to only have this type of bag cleaned professionally than I did for using particular products. I am new to the forum----so happy to have found it----so I would absolutely defer to the experts.
I wore my new light pink lambskin mini out and tragically got some color transfer on it from my jeans ( I washed my jeans many times but it still transferred so I will never wear jeans with it again 
, I am so upset!! ). Can some one please recommend the best leather cleaner to help fix the color transfer on my light lambskin without damaging the bag? Please please help!! Also- where I can order the product (I live in Canada).

Take it to a Chanel boutique to have them try to clean it. There is a thread here on Chanel refurbish & repair. It isn't as costly as you may think. It isn't worth it to go anywhere else to have something else go wrong to such an expensive bag.
This is such a creative idea! I just got a vintage black Bubble Quilt Shopper last night & this is really helpful. Thank you!
Light scratches/marks can even be buffed out with just your fingers (the oil in your fingers helps smooth them out). The Cadillac conditioner will certainly help to condition the leather.

Thanks for replying. I have the driest hands ever. Hopefully the Cadillac conditioner will help with the scratches.
Where are you located in Canada? If you happen to be located in Vancouver, I do have a suggestion for where you can take your bag to.I wore my new light pink lambskin mini out and tragically got some color transfer on it from my jeans ( I washed my jeans many times but it still transferred so I will never wear jeans with it again
Can't PM you -- I assume due to new account?
It will definitely help with both conditioning and minimizing scratches, so long as they aren't deep gouges that removed the leather.
