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

[roey]

I wish the search function was working because sometime last year, a member wrote about a product that she swears by to remove scratches from lambskin. She said it's the only product she's found that works to erase them. I should have written it down when I read it!

Roey, was it Meltonian? I've heard that stuff is amazing but haven't used it myself yet.

Anyone here tried it?

 

[roey]

^YES! That's it!! Thanks so much Gina! Now to figure out where to purchase it.

Not Catalyst81 but Colourwash has a pretty good reputation. It's not cheap though, the price depends on size of the bag so you have to bring it down to ask.

Hi Roey,

I googled "Meltonian" and saw this website where they sell this brand:

But do you know which one among the various Meltonian products to use for "erasing" the scratches from the lambskin?

I know that there are topics about cleaning and caring Chanel bags, and some said that apple leather care works with some lambskin but not other. What about vintage lambskin? How to moisturize the leather? I'm thinking about lovingmybags.com's products. Anyone has any suggestion of how to moisturize the leather for a vintage lambskin flap?

I just bought a vintage lambskin jumbo flap, and I really want to keep the leather supple. Thanks for any help.

Apple leather conditioner helps.

I use the luvinmybags products and have no complaints. I especially like the cream protector.

I used lovinmybags too and it worked great.

^thanks for all of your suggestion. I'll try lovingmybags then

Lovingmybags.com has great moisturizers. This is what I use on my vintage Chanels and other brand name bags too.

Always start on the underside or inside of the bag first.

Hi Guys,
I just purchased a black vintage lambskin flap bag and wondered how I should care for it? I know I should keep it in the dustbag but should I treat it with anything in particular before using it? It is in great condition. I was thinking maybe spraying it with the stuff you get to protect shoes. Is this a good idea? Any advice would be welcome or if there is a website that I could download care instructions that too would be welcome. I am a "virgin" Chanel owner. Thanks a bunch.

Bring it to the Chanel Boutique for the "Spa" treatment, and also, they have a great polish for lambskin they can suggest, (at least the one on 57th St does), and you can always ask them for advice.

I should say I live in Scotland and we do not have a chanel near us - the nearest is London!!!
