Oh no... I've been careful on my lambskin and I didn't expect oily food to really stain. May I know did you find out straight away or the spot was caused by not cleaning the stain off immediately? Do you mind to share a pic?

https://www.hangerproject.com/creme-delicate.html --> Saphir Creme Delicate Conditioning Cream is what I would recommend. They are basically the #1 manufacturer for leather care products. The higher end alternative would be the Saphir Nappa leather balm https://www.hangerproject.com/saphir-nappa-leather-balm.html.
Polishing a VINTAGE Chanel flap using Meltonian Neutral Cream.
On my cleansed bag, I used a TINY amount (i.e. fingertip dot) onto a smooth cloth. Applied and then I continued buffing with a fresh cotton one. I did one panel at a time. Then used a shoe brush lightly until all traces of the polish was gone (this was by feeling with the hands). If it still feels waxy or rough to touch, keep polishing with cotton cloth. Take as long as it needs with gentle but assertive (not aggressive) polishing.
It results in a light shine and makes the quilting look plumper (but it's really more the reflective quality from the buffing)

Hi, just joined tpf and I have been reading up quite bit. This are the before and after pictures of my pink lambskin wallet after a round of 1) Alcohol free makeup wipe (from my purse 2) Mr Magic eraser {from my kitchen}3) Meltonian delicate and Cadillac waterproof spray {ransacked from my husband's shoe cleaning kit}. I have been sitting on the fence for a few years about how dirty it looks -believe me, I have another similar light color purse which is a CAVIAR Beige Wallet, unused :shame:
I was AFRAID to touch it seeing how quickly my lamb is gathering stains.
Anyway, these are round 1 pictures, not perfect, can still see some shadows but I am no longer afraid to use my wallet.
BUT the most important point I would like to make for ME : I have come to realize that these are ONLY things and I will not be slave to them any more. I am liberated. Thanks to this forum.
{ Any additional tips will be greatly appreciated too.

That looks great! I've seen a white lambskin vintage I want to buy but it is dirty. I wonder if this would work on white? I ordered the delicate and white meltonian but I've been kinda scared. This maybe what I need to go get that bag!
It depends on how easily they can get to that stitched area to repair it. I had a quick fix done on an isolated area on my Reissue (which I could have probably done myself). Repair at Chanel took 3 weeks to complete and no charge.
I just won this Chanel bag. Will the indentation in the lambskin on front of bag be able to be repaired?
Thanks!

Has anyone used colored meltonian cream to get rid of scratches? I just got a black lambskin boy bag and a scratch in the back is bothering me so much. If I use the black meltonian cream will I be able to mask the scratch? The delicate cream did not buff it out [emoji24]
I don't know if it will take care of the scratch completely, but think it may help. If you decide to go through with trying it use a tiny amount only on the scratch. I once used too much on my reissue and it made the bag look not shiny. I had to work hard buff the bag to get it to be shyny again.
I use only delicate cream for my lambskin. The colored meltonian are too harsh and will take the shine away, I know from experience. Try a little bit of the delicate cream once a week and it should make it better. All my Chanel's are lambskin and sometimes you just have to let the leather sit and it will fix itself over time. Lambskin is very delicate and if it use harsh chemicals there is little chance of brining it back to the way it was. Hope this helps!
Hello !
I've been reading massive threads on color transfer for lambskin purse; however, I'm still confused on which solution to buy. I decided to wear my lambskin grey mini today for the second time ever and it got color transfer on it from my navy blue shirt! What solution should i buy to take it out?
thank you in advance!

Hi Ladies! I recently purchased a pre-loved Chanel bag in beige lamb skin and even though the pics showed signs of colour transfer I still went ahead and won the auction thinking that I could clean it.... Now that I received it, I'm kinda freaked out about using anything on it but yet again I don't want it to look so dirty 
I'm attaching a pic from the listing to show the condition. Anyone of you lovely ladies can help me with a product name or maybe a solution
