I agree with you and I'm going to leave it alone.
I bought the bag preowned and after closely looking at the pics that were sent to me, the small spots were already there . With the price I paid for it compared to brand new retail, I'm fine with those spots. Now i enjoy my phantom without thinking I ruined it.
Thanks for you input and advice. Greatly appreciated !
Try a suede brush. If you don't have one, just use a soft cloth or soft (dry) toothbrush to gently brush the suede. Rain doesn't usually leave stains, just alters the texture, which a brush should fix. Good luck.
Hi everyone,
I just bought the phantom in grey croc print. Does somebody know how i can treat/protect my bag?
Me too I would like to know!!!!
Is there anyone who wouldn't mind giving a synopsis of how they first treated for their phantom? Particularly any light color, especially the Yellow Sun color? Does anyone have specific suggestions on what worked for you before and during use? I'm hoping to get a Samorga insert as soon as they are up and running again. But my thinking is that is I do nothing else beside that, I should waterproof the entire bag inside and out. Soon we'll be having April showers and there's still snow here too (although I don't plan to use it right about now. I'm hoping the end of March. I have read the thread, twice, with so much USEFUL advise its still hard to decide. So I thought I asks those of you who are specifically owners of light colored, more importantly Sun colored, Phantoms. I've included a picture of the double zipper insert I want (not that color' but maybe I should consider a light color to prevent transfer?). And I've also included a reminder of what the Sun looks like. I want the inside to be a pristine as possible. Is spray waterproofing my only preventative measure.
BTW, celine in Miami have four phantoms in stock and don't charge tax if there isn't a store in your area.
Thank you in advance!

Attachments
Yes the front zipper pull. There is a slight space on the gold zipper attachment and i was carrying a lot of things and it must have gotten knocked off..i know i can always move the tab from the interior zipper compartment if need be and get something else for the interior. I am heartbroken. I retraced my steps and drove back some 8 miles to where I was. I have called Celine in ny and they said they only do repairs on 1 yr old bags and less. When i bought this bag, the Celine store did not even exist. They recommend someone in ny for repair, but realistically, it only needs a tab. I only need a replacement that my shoe guy can put on in 30 seconds
That's ridiculous that Céline only repairs a bag that is less than 12 months old! But I agree that you should bring the inner pulley tab to the front, at least it would look like the old one.
I hope for the best for you... I know I would be pretty distraught if the front zipper fell off without my knowledge! And I thought the first edition of Luggage are the sturdiest, I better be more careful with mine.
If you have one of those Céline furry fox tails, maybe you can have that as a very fancy zipper tab! Do update us if you are able to find a suitable place to get it fixed. I really think Céline should give you another tab! Bring it up to the main office in Paris as supposedly repairs/bag parts come direct from there.
