Hello Chanel forum!
I just purchased a light beige/black lambskin Girl bag. I'm concerned about color transfer as the gusset of the bag is light beige. There are a lot of products mentioned on this thread but what is the best for protecting against color transfer.
Thanks for your help!!

helpppp please
helpppp please
Have you tried to *lightly* wipe it away with a baby wipe? Or makeup remover wipe? I've tried that before with a lamb skin bag of mine and it seemed to do the trick. Though I did it literally right after I accidentally got a tiny tiny dust of powder blush on it.
As long as you didn't just put lotion on your hands, take your thumb and try to rub it out gently. I did this the other day to my camilla slg and it made the scratch less but I rubbed it pretty hard. Try and see if it doesn't at least lessen the dents. 🙀

One of my light lambskins just got a very light scratch thanks to the cleaner (probably her nail or a light scratch from her bag that she just had to put on the same shelf as mine - she has no idea what Chanel is)...after my initial panic, I managed to rub it out with my fingers as often suggested, and now there's just this darker line. I'm so relieved that the leather itself doesn't look scratched, but how to get the line to fade or at least properly camouflaged? I'm in Europe so no access to most US products. Or is taking it to the Chanel spa the only route?
Does anyone know how much it will cost to repair a 2.55 medium classic flap, basically the stitch is loose at the inner and outer flap ? Or how long it will take, does Chanel have to send it out?
It depends. Some countries have their own repair department. They can fix bags locally. Like here in London. I have a 1 cm rift on my perforated calf skin. I was sure they had to send it to France. But my SA said they might be able to fix it here in London. As for cleaning white/light lamb. I bought a vintage lamb jumbo the other day. I just wiped it with an old white to shirt light pressure in circles. I also used some all natural beeswax based leather conditioner. Worked great. Just a small amount on an old t shirt, pat it out and then circular motion on the bag. Wait till dry and buff with a different part of the t shirt. I read about this on https://www.vintageheirloom.com they specialize with vintage bags. Light and dark!
