:smile1:I really wish you well ladies please relax and use and enjoy your Lambskin bags! They are tougher than they look. I ve had my classic from 2010 ( looks pristine never did anything to the dear girl) and a vintage from 1994 which I bought second hand. (Pre loved if you buy the marketing bull) the vintage gets a quick wipe and conditioning with meltonian neutral and simply glows! You would not believe the compliments that bag gets....;) the classic gets no treatment at all- she doesn't need it!

+1 I always say I never put anything on any of my bags until last year, and I never pre-condition a bag. I buy, take out of the box and go. :)

2nd that! I have black and white lamb and I just use them and love them and learned not to worry about it. I have been using my black lamb wallet for quite some time now. No problem at all!

It doesn't matter where you bought it from. :smile1: You can take your bag to any Chanel boutique for repairing service. I took mine to SF downtown. No receipt require. They will check from authenticity card or hologram sticker. Your bag is quite new and I feel your pain seeing something goes wrong with it. I'm sure that Chanel SA will be happy to assist you or giving some good advices about refinishing. Check links below for more information. Good luck!!

Has anyone tried to remove stains successful using certain products before?

Please share your experiences and really appreciated !!!

Another problem is the colour near the buckle where I touched the most showed some fading and appear grey. Is that normal? (Attachment #1)

You could take it to a Chanel boutique (either Chanel, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom) and they can clean it for you. And if needed, they can take it to a Spa. I personally would just do that; and not try it myself.

But maybe there is someone who can recommend products.

You're not the only one, I'm like that too haha! Whenever it rains, I try to cover my bag. But it happened a couple times that my bag got a little bit wet. But I couldn't spot any stains xp

My black lamb has been caught in the rain several times and it is fine, no damage what so ever. And I don´t even cover it up in the rain. Lambskin is more durable than people think.

I want to send a light pink Chanel lambskin bag in for cleaning. There are ink transfer stains on the bag in two spots from putting the bag down on a piece of paper (the ink had not dried yet).

I live in Canada and I am not close to a Chanel boutique. Has anyone had any experience with Loveyourpurse?

Any advise would be appreciated :)
