Have you tried cleaning it with a conditioner? If not, you might try and clean a small spot and see if it's ok then do the rest. Even a new one will get color transfer unless you wear it with white only.Hey guys. I got this preloved twist your buttons WOC this month and I absolutely love it. Two issues: 1) I think it’s a bit long for me crossbody - thoughts? I have the chain clip but it’s not useable on the twist buttons chains obviously. 2) The backside has pretty noticeable color transfer. The front and the straps had some spots but they all came off with a simple wipe and now spotless, but the back color transfer/yellowing seem to be here to stay. Part of me says who cares it’s on the back and it’s normal wear, but part of me wonder if I should return and just buy a new caviar white WOC (if I can find one and be willing to spend a couple thousand more lol). Thoughts are welcome![]()
I would return. 1) You said its too long on you for crossbody and 2) the color transfer and yellowing. I wouldn't say all white bags will yellow, but they tend to. I had a white Chanel that I had for years and eventually sold because it didn't look crisp and white like I remembered, plus it was stressful to always worry about color transfer.Hey guys.

I have tried plain baby wipes, 1909 leather cream, Apple brand leather conditioner, saddle soap - the baby wipe worked for the spots in front and on strap, but none of these made a difference on the back. The only thing I haven’t tried is Cadillac leather cleaner (just haven’t gotten around to buying it) but I feel like if none of the above worked Cadillac prob won’t work either.Have you tried cleaning it with a conditioner?

Yeah if apple didn't work, I doubt anything else will.I have tried plain baby wipes, 1909 leather cream, Apple brand leather conditioner, saddle soap - the baby wipe worked for the spots in front and on strap, but none of these made a difference on the back.

I agree that color transfer is inevitable with white bags, so I almost feel like I can be more carefree now that it’s already “broken in”, if that makes sense.
