Become a fashion insider | Chanel’s most comprehensive leather analysis and care
When I was chatting with my friends, I found that there are really many “shopping novices”. They also buy a lot of expensive bags and follow the trend to buy popular, classic, and the latest models… Of course, I can’t even afford the most expensive ones 😹😹, but without exception, they only know that they are made of cowhide, sheepskin, crocodile leather… That’s all. Therefore, most of them don’t know how to care for and preserve them. Neglecting special leathers may cause the bag to deteriorate faster and even completely ruin it. So in this article, I will combine my own bag care experience and the care tips of other friends and share them all with you – the most comprehensive analysis of Chanel leather bag identification and maintenance. 👉👉👉
Classic lambskin
The soft touch and beautiful appearance of Chanel lambskin leather are undoubtedly one of the most popular and mature leathers on the market.
This type of leather is characterized by its extremely soft touch. In order to maintain its natural softness, Chanel has specially processed the lambskin material to the minimum extent. Over time, it will become smoother and brighter. However, moisture and long-term repeated friction will also cause damage to the leather.
Iridescent Lambskin
This Chanel leather feels soft and has a brilliant sheen, making it easy to care for because it’s not prone to scratching. If it does, it can be easily polished with clean fingers. The pearlescent iridescent sheen of the leather inadvertently obscures minor scratches from the bag’s use. But again, the more you love a bag, the more you use it. I always clean the leather and the exterior with every use and change.
Metallic Lambskin
Chanel Metallic Calfskin/Lambskin is the ultimate combination. It’s a wonderful combination that creates a vibrant and beautiful look that shimmers and sparkles in the sun. Metallic lambskin is as gorgeous to the touch as it is to the eye. Furthermore, the metallic leather texture expertly blurs minor scratches, and it’s easy to clean and maintain.

❤️How to maintain
- Lambskin is sensitive to moisture, so be sure to keep it away from damp areas . If your bag gets wet, soak it up quickly. Paper towels are a great way to do this. Don’t wipe it; just lay it out and let it dry.
- If the bag is moldy, wipe it with a paper towel or a soft towel, add some warm water, and then air dry it.
- Do not put cosmetics and perfume directly into sheepskin bags, as this will damage the leather. It is best to store them separately in a cosmetic storage bag.
- Try not to let the leather bag come into direct contact with sunlight or close to any heater, otherwise the leather will become drier and drier, and the elasticity and softness of the leather will gradually disappear, accelerating the aging of the leather .
- If you don’t use your bag often, keep it in a sealed dust bag. My personal protective technique is to put a few desiccant packets inside the dust bag. I also put two inside the bag.
- The leather of the bag will be a little dry in autumn and winter, and wrinkles will appear one by one when pressed with your hands . You can apply some good hand cream, and try to avoid scented ones.
- It is best not to do excessive cleaning. Wiping it after soaking it in water will destroy the structure of the surface leather grain and also dilute the color .
