Sorry I can't help you. I just went by the pix SA sent me and bought the exact same one. Where does it say mink oil?
Can you help?/ I found the melatonian leather lotion but it says with mink oil. Is that ok to put on my lampskin chanel ? I need a little shine backThank you. There was a note from seller that Melatonian will be removing the mink oil from the product but that they still have the one with mink oil. Is the mink oil ok for the chanel bag? I only plan to use a very slight amount on the bag. Thank you
Not sure if they will ship to US Tutushopper, but here 's the metallic spray....

I just posted this in another thread but wish to get more suggestions
I found a beautiful black mini, it's lambskin, almost every SA told me they are not getting caviar for at least 5 months, I'm kinda afraid of lambskin bags, is it easier to get scratched for lambskin in small bags? Since it's Crossbody and might swing around the body
Is black lamb ok to get a little rain?
So struggling, not sure if I should get this one or just wait, since I want an everyday bag. If I don't get this one, I'm afraid I might need to wait too long to get a black caviar, they even told me they might not get caviar mini anymore, nobody knows
Anybody could give me any suggestions? Thanks!

If you go back one page, you will see the products recommended using on lamb skin.
They help you when you accidentally spill water or something on lamb.
If you want a caviar, then get a caviar bag and don't rush. But lamb isn't as bad as ppl thought. Do a search on this thread and you should find answers that help you make your decision. Only you can determine which one is right for you

Hi All:
This is such a useful sub-section and I am learning a lot here and I would like your opinion
This is regarding my vintage black lambskin .. Please see picture below - Can I use Cadillac "Boot and shoe care" to maybe lighten the scuff? This is all I have currently for my bags. I have just place an order of the melatonin delicate 170 (as per Tutu's) from Amazon and it will not be here until next week. The bag is a vintage (3xxxxx6) and I believe the previous owner did not do anything like most of you here. Any input will be greatly appreciated !!

I think what you mean to ask (and do correct me if I'm wrong), is how to darken the lightened area? If that's the case, you can also purchase Meltonian in a black color (it's actually a black colored cream polish) to add back that darkness to the light areas. Use a teeny teeny tiny amount on the tip of a cloth to do so; gently dab it onto the area until it's covered, let dry, then buff. Also, please make sure you buy Meltonian, as Melatonin is a natural sleep aid, and we don't want any bags sleeping on the job!
Hi tutu,
Yes, Yes, Yes, you are correct hahaha .. forgive me for my typo :loots:
I am about to type in my credit card details and I will add 1 piece of "Melatonin" or better known as "Meltonian #2 in black". Next week I will remember to post before and after pictures .. Till then, thank you very much Tutu. You are the best !!
Have a nice weekend.

Reinforcements came today!
Also, since I bought and revealed a ton of shoes, and we all know Chanel ballerina flats and many of their heels are lamb (and others calf, from smooth to distressed to pebbled [i.e. caviar]), I also have indispensable tools for those, too. Blister/friction block is the best thing ever (and not painful like second skin)--buy it by the box, and there's nothing to replace a good shoe horn (my good ones are packed, but these are a few of my inexpensive ones that I found in a box). Yay for leather care!

I have heard of blister/friction blocker. Does it really work that well ??? I have problems with heels because it hurts my feet @ end of day

You must have missed the earlier photo from when I had to re-buy my products as they are in a box somewhere that I can't find, and I needed them for my new sale shoes and bag (and non-sale bags).

Oh my gosh, it works fabulously! That's why I buy them by the box/case now. They are a dream for the first time (or second time) you wear new shoes; no blisters! I love this product (and I guess I have to say while I HATE the pain of second skin, it does help when you have to dance/walk on blisters...but it HURTS!). My other ones were also in the box with said lost for now leather products (I keep all this stuff together so I know where everything is...only I can't find the box right now), so I bought more as I won't wear new shoes for all day without it!

You are very welcome, and yes, that is the right one for black (I also have white, and in the lost box some other colors). I can't wait to see your before/after photos! Just make sure to test any product on an inconspicuous area before you start and let it dry to make sure it's compatible (these products are, but that's my generic warning/caution for anything to anyone about to use something on an expensive--or inexpensive--item that they are unsure of). When I was first trying out a variety of products, I started with older shoes or the bottom of a bag, someplace that's not super visible. Now I know what things I can use totally safely so I just pull out my products and go to work on new purchases.
