I just used Saphir Creme Delicate on my black lambskin woc to gently clean and condition, and it looks great! I was so scared to used it at first, but I dabbed a tiny bit on the soft cloth that came with the creme and gently wiped the bag. Please try a small test spot before using it though. I also avoided the stitching and the interior fabric.

I bought a new lamb skin jumbo bag. I've only ever owned caviar. How long do the quilts stay puffy? Does anyone know? I have only worn the bag a few times. I'm not using it as an everyday bag, so I'm hoping it stays puffy for a while. Anyone know if it is years or months until the quilts will loose their shape?
I have found the chevron lambskin pretty delicate and I seem to make at least two scratches every time I wear it. I must become more careful with mine. [emoji20]
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.
My SA gave me a useful tip - use the binder rings to shorten the chain. Tuck it inside under the flap and voila, shortened strap.
I decided to buy the bag-a-vie inserts, and while the one I bought for my Boy bag was perfect, the one I bought for my Jumbo (the petite, which was the suggested size on their website) was too deep and made the bag bulge out. Did you have any issues like that?
I also use the petite inserts in jumbos and 227, and I didn't notice any problems so far. I'll check my least used bags, since they spend a lot of time with the inserts inside the dust bags.
Hi Chanbal
Can I check what colour did you purchase? I'm thinking of buying the black ones but afraid that inner lining (fabric) will be darken.
Appreciate your reply.
Hi Ice75,
I have been getting them in all available colors (see below) and no color transfer so far. I usually use the red inserts in my black and red bags, the beige in the light colored ones, the blue in the navy, ... I do this just for fun, but if you are concerned, you could start with the beige inserts.

Oh, good to know. When I reached out to Bag-A-Vie for their thoughts, they said that it might make the bag bulge out a little, but that lambskin is very soft and bounces right back into shape. I didn't want to risk it though, without hearing some testimonials.
I bought this jumbo grey Chanel bag. I love the bag and noticed in the corner this wrinkle within the diamond shaped lines. What caused it? I do not know if I overlooked at the store. Is this something that lambskin develop in time. The purse has been in the closet and well stored.
Any recommendations. Thanks,
