I have the same bag in red lambskin. It's currently with Chanel for refurbishment -- but no re-dyeing because that causes lambskin to harden. Do show pics when you get it back!

Congrats!

Oh, wow, reallly? Do you happen to know what style it is by any chance? Even the SA at Chanel today wasn't sure, though he was amazed at it's condition for being almost 20 years old. He did say they would probably redye it, but he also said that they would evaluate it and do what they felt necessary- I would hate to have it redyed and have the leather hardened. But I guess I'll just trust they know what they're doing. Please post pictures of it when you get it back too!

Again, thanks to everyone on these boards that helped me authenticate it, and then gave me advice to take it to Chanel for cleaning. The SA said it should be back home within 8 weeks, just in time for Christmas. And since it's bright lipstick red, it'll be perfect timing!

oooh I bet it is gorgeous tho in the lambskin.

I personally would treat a white bag with such care anyhow, caviar or lambskin, not pop it on the ground etc etc, but only you truly know if you can cope with a lambskin and two gorgeous small people lol!

would love to see piccies :)

i have a vintage white lambskin flap and it is a bit high maintenance but i baby my bags anyway. i would be careful about storing the bag. make sure the chain doesn't indent the lambskin. when you go out, bring an extra bag or something to either put your bag inside or on top of it so it won't get dirty. and oh beware of black clothes and dark washed jeans.

Ladies, what abt colour transfer from the dustbag. Has that ever happened to you since it's black and the bag is white? Personally I've been tempted over and over again to get a white lambskin ( I mean it's just so beautiful especially against a black top and blue jeans) but having to bring along another bag just so to put the lambskin on top of or into is just too much trouble, sigh......

I'd be worried about the dustbag myself, and would probably store it in a white pillowcase. Works just as well! :yes:
