If it's metallic, I'd use products made for metallic. If it's not metallic, then use products made for lambskin.
Thanks Tutu!

Hi luv2run41:I really think the bag is absolutely beautiful. Can you post another but of the entire front and back? I used a very small dab of Cadillac cream and that worked well.
I actually love the look of your bag, what a beautiful color
I apologise for my late reply. I was in Asia to visit my daughter who was transferred from NY last year.
Congrats on your recent new purchases
Here are the front and back pics. I have not had a chance to use this Chanel but with the lapse of two weeks, I had totally forgotten its original color and I agree with you, the color now is beautiful.
Have a nice weekend !

Hi tutu: No worries. Better late than never
I just know that you will get back to me as I know you are very helpful especially to newbies like me.I have not had the chance to do anything else other than the previous two treatments as I was traveling. This would be my first brown{tan} Chanel (I have BVs and LVs). I do not know the history of this as I bought this from a consignment store. Originally it appeared "dry" before I treated it. It doesn't look like mold to me .. but then I have had no previous experience with lambskin. I am happy to leave it alone for a little while. Maybe after I get over my jet lag, I will give it another coat of meltonian delicate. Thank you, Tutu.
I was finally brave enough and found the time to purchase and treat my worn out little zippy today.
Meltonian delicate cream - bought on eBay, took about 2 weeks to arrive from America to Australia, cleans and softens leather - did wonders! At first I was so scared to use it because colour came off and the black kind of turned a little dull and grey. The next day I checked my bag again and it's super soft and darkened up again. Did a second treatment. Super soft again.
Kiwi express shine in neutral - bought at local supermarket - so easy and quick to use - restored a little more of the black (no idea how, but bag looks darker again) and super shiny.
Now my dry overused bag is back to being soft and beautiful again. Even polished up the gold hardware a little! Scratch marks are no longer noticeable. Texture remains pretty much the same, although it's more slippery to the touch (I think this is because of the express shine).
Thought I would add my review too because reading everyone else's reviews really helped me out!!

Hi ladies! I would appreciate a piece of advice too!
So I have a pair of two tone flats and the beige lambskin has some marks and stains from the wear. What products would it be the best to clean the delicate leather?
Also, I have Cambon wallet with the fuchsia leather lining on the inside again with quite a lot of stains from using it. I live in the UK so any product that is on ebay or amazon would it be perfect.
I would really appreciate your help! I ask what to do about the shoes at the boutique in London, they told me to buy a new pair -.-
Thank you!

Of course they will tell you to buy another pair as that is how they make their money. Try the little jar of Meltonian delicate #170 which you can get on amazon or the *bay. Because it is colorless, you can use it on the whole leather of your shoe (sides & toe cap). I'd also order some Collinil or Cadillac waterproofing while you are at it to put on after you get it clean. You could also order the Collonil cleaner to hedge your cleaning bets. I won't guarantee you will get out years of stains, but it won't hurt to try to get out as many as possible. Better is preventative on all new shoes, wallets, bags, etc. Best of luck!
Thank you so much dear for the quick response! I will get on that and report!
is this a product called eraser or a plain white eraser like used with pencils??
It's an actual eraser that's rectangular like the kind they sell in art supply stores; a gum eraser (the kind I think of anyway).
Oh ic I will need to see if I can find one.... Just in case.... I finally ordered the Meltonian delicate and Cadillac lotion so I can maintain my bags...
I realized that my lamb skin bag got some scratches on the edge and dirt already..So should i maybe get the melotonin to clean it?and water proof?
Or was it something else that i can use?

You will want to get some cleaner and conditioner and perhaps some waterproofing for after you clean it. You can also rub out some scratches with your fingers. The Meltonian 170 in the little jar in 170 delicate is colorless and you can use it on any color bag; just be sure to test any product in an unseen area before you do the whole bag.
Hi tutushopper! I saw you bought the stunning m/l lamb in 14S fusica - just wandering if u could share how u care for it, what products u have used on it. I have the same bag so would be sooo grateful for your advice. Thanks in advance and hope u r having a great day!
Thank you. I use the Cadillac or Collonil waterstop products; I can't recall which I've used on which bag (I use them interchangeably). I've not used anything else on this bag as it doesn't need it.

Other than denim are there any types and colours of clothing you would not wear with that particular bag? Have you used the bag much? I've only carried it twice to go shopping and once to a birthday dinner. Absolutely in love, but a bit weary of getting her dirty.
