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

[hedgwin99]

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!

Ok great! I'm going to buy some of them as well. I brought a pair of rag and bone boots (no luck with Chanel sale this time) I'm going to give it try on those new boots

If I was your neighbor you will hate me! I probably will the the nosy neighbor that will come knocking on ur door to borrow your leather care collection 😉😉😉😉😉😉

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, you might as well create a separate leather repair room in your house

If you were my neighbor, I'd have someone to do leather care with, so I'd not mind a bit!

I'll think about that after I get the things done that I'm trying to get done now. Hmmmm a leather care room...I could even hang out a shingle to get work from passers by!

I'm happy that I am not alone.

Picture 1-one of my tool boxes (the most organized ).
Picture 2-I am in the process of replacing the papers inside my Chanel bags... need a few more pillows.

I am thinking about buying some "Bag A Vie" bags for my Chanels. Do you think they work OK and worth the expense? They are expensive to buy as I have to have them shipped to Australia.

I think I need a Mini for my new M/L Flap and a petite for my Jumbo.

Not sure if they are better than paper, but they are a lot prettier.

I like to alternate my bags and I am tired of having the inside papers all over my bedroom or having them trashed by my cleaning lady. So I have decided to buy pillows for all my favorite bags.

Mini pillows are good for M/L and petite pillows are perfect for Jumbo. I also got bag-a-vie storage bags and they are better than some of my Chanel storage bags, so I am also including a few more storage bags on my next order.

You are definitely not alone. I keep outgrowing my kits, and having to find larger containers for all of my products (the waterproofing sprays get used up pretty fast when you are doing shoes). I love trying new products as well as my tried and true ones. Some are just amazingly asphyxiating, though! Use a well ventilated place (i.e. outside) for anything new (I found this out last night as I was using one inside due to rain...oh my it was horridly obnoxious in how badly it got into the air and the organic compounds in it were not fun).

It happened to me a few weeks ago and I still have bad memories of the strong smell.

Did you order the Collonil Metallic Spray?

That Collonil Nanopro spray is realllllllllllllly awful! My fault for using it indoors...but wow, that stuff is killer!

I've not yet ordered the Metallic spray, but I have been using other sprays for mixed materials (like my ghillies that I used the Nanopro on). I have a few things metallic to spray, so I guess I need to figure out how many cans I'll need and bite the cost of shipping.

Yes, I might get these down the track - they do look good, but they are quite expensive so tissue will have to do now. It is the shipping that kills you.

You are so very welcome! Ebay and Amazon are great resources.

You can use the plastic air filled pillow things that come in shipping boxes; they are about the right size (just make sure they fit in the bag you wish to stuff--i.e. not too big--and they are free! Many use these instead of buying the pillows.

I think using plastic with leather ( organic material) could create issues due to leather need to breath. It's just my humble opinion.

I don't use them but many do. If I were to use them, I'd make sure to wrap them in cotton or some other fabric that would keep them from direct contact with the bag. I have heard the pillows you can buy are a bit too big and "overstuff" the bags. My ideal solution is to use the same thing I use to clean bags, which is 100% cotton t-shirts cut to fit. They are not going to cause any problems, are absorbent, and easy to fit in and take out.

Hi tutu, is the Meltonian Delicate Cream mainly for removing stain/scraches on lambskin or conditioning the bag? I bought a fushcia lamb mini but never used it because of the lambskin. I would hate to see stains/ color transfers on such beautiful color.

I do not want to waterproof it before use. Do you mind teaching me how to keep it clean even I do not waterproof it?

Do I use the Meltonian Delicate Cream only when stains appear on the bag? Or I can use it to condition the bag periodically? How much should I use to condition a rec mini?

TIA
