How To Clean Chanel Lambskin Bag

S'Mom

Resistance is Futile

Hi May ---I have two Chanel wallets. One is a quilted lambskin and the other is Caviar on the outside with lambskin on the inside. The quilted lambskin doesn't seem to show much wear for some reason and I'm not easy on my wallets but I have noticed the Caviar wallet does tend to scratch and mark on the lambskin insides. I love this wallet and use it most of the time so I'm resolved to the fact that it will show the wear but for me, that's ok because I don't mind my things having a loved and used look. I don't have an answer really to your question....I don't think there is one. Lambskin is fragile and will show wear no matter what you do especially with wallets.

Sometimes you just have to enjoy those things you love while they last....whatever shape they become :biggrin:

What do any of you use to clean and reshine your bags.
I have 2 soft lambskin blue and black
4 caviers, 1 pink and 3 black
and 1 black suede.
I can say I have never really cleaned any of them..
I love my blue one and would love for it to shine like it first did :yahoo:

for my caviars, i swipe my finger across my forehead and clean all the scratches and scuffs..works pretty good because of the oil... lambskin i havent tried they are too fragile to me, when they get tooo used i just send them back to chanel for refurbishing. or cleaning w/e lol

I have a question regarding care. My mom and I have a gorgeous small cream lambskin Chanel bag w/ silver hardware, and she used it and unfortunately got it a little dirty on the corners. If we do not have proof of purchase (it was purchased some years back), can it be taken to any Chanel boutique and sent out for cleaning/repair? Unfortunately, something similar has also happened to the metallic gold luxury bowler we have (I think I'm too scared to buy metallic leather in the future now!)... my mom used it, and the braided chain part upon close inspection is not all gold anymore, I see that it has worn off and shows a silvery color, etc. :sad: I believe this was purchased at Bloomies in NYC... but can it be taken to Chanel too, and has anyone had this problem or can you offer suggestions?

Hi Minal, when I purchased my bag, the SA told me the authencity card is necessary to get the maintenence, so I think it's ok to bring the bag to the store, as it's autenthic they will do what you ask for - any other opinions about this?
