For those of you with light colored lambskin minis, is there anything you do to guard against color transfer or do you not worry as much since the mini is a smaller surface area to potentially rub against clothing?

I bought my first mini today (the 23S pale blue that looks almost grey) and am worried I might have made a bad choice since I wear mostly dark colors. This is also my first lambskin bag so I'm a bit worried about keeping it looking nice also. Have there been products people use to protect the leather or do people just tend to baby their bags more than usual? Any advice much appreciated :)

Definitely do not wear it with darker colors.
I have a light purple one and only wear it with light colors. Pale blue seems fun for spring summer, perfect for whites and pastels.

Thanks for the suggestion! I might try it out if I decide to keep the bag.

I mostly wear darker colors year-round and don't like pastels on myself at all so this might mean I should return the bag and just wait for something in a darker color later on. :( Thanks for your input!

I do, I have done it to all my bags caviar or lambskin, regardless of the color clothing I wear. I bought Collonil and that’s the only thing I use. HTH
