What's the condition in your city? I live in a somewhat dry city, so just store in cloth bag inside a box. But I did live in a very humid city for several years, it was stored in a closet but we had a dehumidifier running all the time, or else it gets that moldy smell, especially with cloths.
Chanel Lambskin - how do I clean it/care for it?

Yeah my city rather dry n humid all the time!! Summer all year round no 4 seasons.. Yeah I think I go get a dehumidifier.. Hate the weather here!! Thanks for giving tips! (:
Is it normal for the color to come off the leather after cleaning with a slightly damp cloth?
I have a black jumbo, and I wiped it ever so gently and saw that the cloth turned a little grey! This has never happened before and I doubt that my bag is that dirty. I noticed that more color came off at the back pocket, where the leather comes in contact with the clothes. That portion is also not as black as the rest of the bag. Is this normal?

I usually use bag-a-vie inserts and dust bags, they have been may favorite storage products so far.

I was thinking about getting the Jumbo Lambskin Chevron - does anyone have experience with the lambskin on the chevron bags as opposed to the quilted bags? Has anyone noticed any difference in how they hold up? I generally gravitate towards caviar because of its durability, but I wasn't sure if maybe the chevron pattern made the lambskin less susceptible to wear/tear (I have no idea how that would work, but I'm crossing my fingers...).
Hi filet68,
I get them either from ebay or bagavie.com. The inserts are great and I also recommend the dust bags (they are better than the ones from Chanel IMO).
Thanks Chanbal! I'm definitely going to get some.....they look great in your pic!
Actually, I would need your ladies expert advice on this. I have a Chanel Kelly bag and unfortunately, which I had sat on and crushed (I know, I'm terrible). Besides the interior flaking off because it's an old bag, it is completely dented. Is there any way to still save this bag from its demise? Thank you in advance for all your suggestions and input
I tried the steamer and towel method as recommended by tutushopper and other helpful tpf-ers to remove dents in my vintage lambskin quilts. It was working pretty well, the leather has soften and starting to puff out. I continued on a few times, then suddenly realized one of the quilts have completely flattened out 😨 looks like the leather on particular quilt has dried up by the excessive use of steam T.T any one knows how I can restore this pls?
This is more about chain than lambskin, but...anyone else keeping their bag's chain in a knot? I have a double flap jumbo (in lamb), and the chain feels too long. As it is double flap I don't want to tuck the extra length between the main and the second flap. So I just made a knot on one side 
The chain is steel so it should not break easily, right? Experiences? My maxi is single flap and it is super easy to shorten the chain in that but I find double flap challenging in this sense.
