Hi! I just purchased a black lambskin boy and the SA told me to be careful wearing lighter colored clothes as there might be some color transfer from the bag to my clothes. Has anyone experienced this? And is there a way to prevent this? I do like to wear white :(

I've never had an issue with my black bags transferring to my lighter coloured clothes and accessories!

I called Chanel yesterday actually and customer service told me I had to call the boutique for mailing instructions. He looked up the closest Chanel and it was in NY. I thought there was one in Boston but I guess not.

I think I'm just gonna leave it the way it is. I don't wanna risk having something happen to it or it get lost in transit. :(

Hi everyone! I've finally bought a pre-loved Chanel (lambskin circa 1991-1994)! It's so beautiful but not that puffy anymore...

Can anyone give me some information on how to care for vintage lambskin bags?

I love vintage! My personal experience is - I used meltonian delicate on my vintage lambskin. It was dry before the treatment but it became very smooth to touch after that.:D

I am sure there are other long time Chanel vintage lovers who can advise you.

Would love to see some pictures of your vintage, pleassssse :-)

Anyone have experience using Blackrock leather conditioner or Saphir Neutral Shoe polish on their black lambskin double flaps? I have a vintage and I'd like to spruce it up a bit. Those are the products I have but if I have to purchase something else I will. Thanks! :D

When I purchased my caviar jumbo just a few months ago the SA told me I could use Cadillac boot and shoe conditioner to clean and and protect it. I just bought a 1996 lambskin flap and it worked great on both of my bags. I'm really happy with it. I bought it from Amazon.com it was around $10.00

I love the Saphir shoe polish and use it exclusively on all my shoes; however, I've never applied on my Chanel purse before. Never tried blackrock, so can't comment either.

For chanel, I personally use saphir delicate cream or 1909. They are both equally great and really bring leather back to life. If I had to pick just one, I like the 1909 slightly better.

I'm not a fan of how black rock makes my bag smell after. I now only use Saphir on my vintage brown lambskin jumbo. Just remember that a little goes a LONG way! 😀
