My soft leather Chanel bag has barely seen the light of day…
Seem the only few times I’ve taken her out she ends up with marks and scratches….darn!:hysteric: :hysteric:
I’m super careful...like weird careful :wacko: and still it just seems to get scratched so easily.

Does anyone else have this problem?
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Ive come to the unattractive conclusion -- I'm anal....:nuts:
I feel a bit guilty spending close to 2K for a bag, so I guess I want it to look as new as possible for the longest time.
 
Lisa, i have a Chanel with the soft leather and have since switched to caviar for that reason, and also i am hard on my bags (but they still like me lol) here's what you can do to get rid of/lessen scratches:
the moment you see a scratch, take the pads of a couple of fingers and rub it as if you're trying to rub it out ............................a Chanel SA told me that years ago..it makes scratch much less apparent

good luck
 
I have a very soft lambskin bag from Chanel too (on the right in pic below). It also scratches very easily, but I find that the scratches disappear if I just rub them lightly with my fingertip.

Sometimes I buy a bag and don't even use it for the first year or so. I'm saving it. Talk about anal! :nuts: After a year, I don't think of the bag as being 'new' so I take it out, wear it and don't care as much about the scratches.
I beat the heck outta my bags, bags are for using!!! I figure hey when I wear them out I will have them refurbished.
You're right. Lately, I've been thinking that when my bag is worn out, instead of refurbishing, I will just buy a new bag. 'Worn out' means we got our money's worth, doesn't it?
