I think this is the most I’ve talked in a video ☺️... hope it wasn’t too much rambling and you found the cleaning process helpful to watch!! Please let me know what you think in the comments below!! 😉
Thank you so much for sharing this process with us! Love your videos. I just purchased my first EVER Chanel bag and it's vintage which I love. It's currently on the way to me. Found the beauty on Ebay, was of course skeptical, but the seller had great authentic selling reviews and rates. She was so responsive and we ended up exchanging numbers so she can show me the bag. I did a background check of both of her authentications from Leather Surgeons and Zeko's Authentication - all verified. So I felt so comfortable. It's a 2 Series and it's beautiful and I can't wait to have the history in my hands! I just purchased these products based on this video and can't wait to get it so I can revive my Chanel. After doing so much research on Chanel I felt that going vintage on my first ever Chanel is the way to go - quality, craftsmanship, beauty and history!😍
Anna Quach Yay! I have some do’s and don’ts I’ll be sharing in a new video soon based on my recent cleaning experience. I had a bit of a scare 😱 and I needed to scramble ... I don’t want anyone making the same mistake as me. Stay tuned!! 😉
Thanks so much. I didn’t realise I follow there products. I only have 1 designer bag which is a Gucci bag that I baby too much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After watching you cleaning your beautiful bag I thought about my bag that I hardly ever use. ❤️❤️
Hi there!💕👛 First of all congratulations on your recent purchase and great videos on your beautiful “CHANEL” handbag. Watching your UA-cam tips was so helpful. I have a question for you. Where did you purchase the spa treatment handbag product? I really enjoy watching videos. Looking forward to heard back from you from SOCAL.
lovinpaws lovinpaws Thank you dear! I bought the products from thehandbagspa.com ... it’s a UK-based company that ships internationally. Hope that helps!
Such a gorgeous purse- worth more and more elegant than the classic 2:55’s being produced today in my opinion. I think the miles only add to how classy it truly is. They just don’t make ‘em like they used to!!!🤣😘❤️
Great video! Right on time for me as I just purchased a vintage small quilted double flap. I got it from Fashionphile and it was listed in very good condition. I would say overall it is, however there is no shine to the bag. It looks like a dull flat matte black. It is lambskin amd very soft. The leather is in very good condition, even the gold hardware! I tried a leather conditioner from Kate Spade (no waxes) and as it conditioned the leather I believe it also removed some of the black dye as it looked like dirty black dye on my cloth and the bag looked even more matte. I want to put some if the Kiwi Express Shine on it to make it shine. I saw a youtuber do that on her lambskin Chanel and it looked really good. I'm not sure if this will rub off on your clothes or not, or if it penetrates into the leather or just sits on top. I like my new vintage double flap however it big time lost it's luster.
debbie h Congrats on your new-to-you Chanel!! 😊 Have you seen my latest video where I talk about do’s and don’ts of handbag spa treatment? My bag turned super dull and matte right after I applied another product (after this video) but I was able to “rescue” it - phew!! Please watch as it may be helpful for you!! 😉
hello catwalk city oh 🤩. Yes will do!!! You are ALL over it aren’t you?! Thank you soooooooo much! By the way, I want your HONEST opinion 😊. My circa 1990s CHANEL Quilted Small Double flap cost me $2448 which included the tax. Honestly was that a good, great or bad price for the bag? It came with the CHANEL 1990s box and authencity card (no dust bag tho). The gold hardware is rich in the 24kt. Very very light scratches on the CC lock. The gold hardware is shiny. Either it got redipped or the previous owner didn’t use it much. The corners of the bag really do not look worn. The Fashionphile description referred to the bag as “very good” . Supposedly there are light scuffs on the corners of the bag but I do not see it. There are some light leather creases and wrinkles on the back flap towards the top which were caused by the bag being opened but it is not bad. The puffs are dimpled and pretty much flattened. No major scuffs inside or outside the bag and the inside is in almost new like condition. There was a whitish “stain” inside but it came off very easily with leather conditioner. There is some structure loss however after I put my items in the bag you do not see it. The only icky thing really are the chain indentations on the front flap. It was an eye sore but I massaged the indentations with my finger and heated up the leather with a hair dryer and continued to rub and some of the indents are barely visible now and the worse indents are about 70 percent better. When I used the leather conditioner (it is pretty gentle and does not have waxes in it) from Kate Spade some of the black dye came off. Why is that? Was it redyed or is this typical for lambskin vintage leather? It is not a rich black color to begin with so I wouldn’t think it was dyed because it would be a deeper black and also the leather is super soft not stiff or dry feeling. Sorry for the long inquiry but i want you to get a great visual of the bag so you can tell me what you think. I feel just for about $1500 more (plus tax; yuck!) I could have gotten the a NEW mini rectangular bag or for 3100 a new mini square. Both bags are very hard to get in general new, especially in gold hardware. There was a small rectangular in black in a boutique with silver hardware but I wanted gold. Should I have invested in new although I “saved” money?
debbie h You got a GREAT price!!! It’s hard without seeing the bag but based on what you’re telling me, it sounds like you got a fantastic deal! The vintage quality with 24k gold is amazing and the small size is not easy to find. With only light scuffs, I bet it looks very good. The indentations from the chains are on the inside of the bag so I wouldn’t worry about it. Someone recently shared with me a trick - you put rolled up tissue paper in btwn the flaps so that the chains don’t rub on the leather. As for the black rubbing off the leather, no I don’t think that means it has been dyed or painted. I think it’s just the color from the original leather. If you bought on Fashionphile, they would have clearly noted if the bag was treated, painted or dyed. So if you didn’t see that in the listing, you’re in good shape. Congrats and enjoy your beauty!!!! 💕
@@hellocatwalkcity yay, glad to know you feel I got a great price. ♥️🤗 . I wasn't too sure but went ahead and made the purchase since it was cheaper then the boutique and I also wanted the 24kt gold vs just gold tone finish that is on the new bags now. The chain indentations are actually on the OUTSIDE of the bag, right on the top flap, centered, on the quilts above the CC turn lock. Like I said it was really obvious before, an eye sore but now after the conditioner and heat with the blow dryer and some massaging it is much less. It is weird to me tho that the black dye comes off with conditioner. It is not even a cleaner. This does not happen with my other bags. I saw yours did that too. I even rub with a DRY cloth and black dye comes off. Weird. Why is that? I am going to buy the hydration spray you bought, however last night I got anxious and went to Target and bought the Kiwi Polished Leather Express Shine Sponge in clear. 😬 Well, I have to say it looks really good! It looks good and feels good. Has a nice sheen to it that looks natural and healthy. It does not feel greasy on the leather at all, however when I put some on my finger to try to figure out what it actually is I noticed it has a slight "oily" slip to it, sort of a silicone feel but much lighter weight. The ingredients are not listed. I'm going to go ahead and purchased what you bought since I'm sure the overall ingredients are better for the leather, especially for the long run. I just got desperate and wanted to do something about the dull matte flat black! Lol. Please keep us updated on your vintage Chanel. Thank you for taking the time to reply back to me! I'm a new subscriber! Yay!♥️👍🏻🥳😄. I'm really enjoying your chanel. You have a soothing voice too. Great combo to listen to a soothing voice speak about the things I enjoy...handbags!♥️🤩🥰
Hi. I’m a New Subscriber to your Chanel, Love your soft gentle voice, and found the cleaning of your bag so therapeutic to watch, Where was the cleaning products from please. I’m in the U.K. I’m binge watching all your video’s 👍👍👍👍💕💕💕💕
Hi there, your Chanel looks gorgeous💜 I wish to find that piece too. I just bought a Chanel Reissue 226 in Iridescent Gray and so beautiful too. In the future, I am also in the eye of this Classic😍. Happy New Year dear, and wishing you’ll have a 1 month review of this beauty.. TIA💕
Miss G Thank you dear!! 💕 Congrats on your reissue! The reissue is next on wishlist!! 😊 Just need to decide btwn 225 and 226 size. Love your idea of a followup review of my vintage classic... thanks!! 😘
Hi can i ask if you managed t get a clean wipe from many wipes? I recently bought a secondhand bag and the anti bacterial spray per your recommendation, but my cotton still looks black after several wipes.
I think this is the most I’ve talked in a video ☺️... hope it wasn’t too much rambling and you found the cleaning process helpful to watch!! Please let me know what you think in the comments below!! 😉

This is the best purchase ever, this bag looks so good 😊. I’m thinking to buy one myself after watching this video.
Aw yay! Vintage is extra special. I hope you have fun searching for “the one.”
@@hellocatwalkcity Thank you 🙏. I’m patiently looking for the one like yours in a good condition.
@@coreykelly2523 Good luck! The hunt is part of the fun, so enjoy!
@@hellocatwalkcity Thank you 🙏 😊
Hi after watching your video I went to the handbag spa website to purchase the cleanser , I received the items on a bubble wrap envelope not in a box.
Oh interesting! Sounds like they changed the packaging. 🤷🏻♀️
Love this video! Can you share what type/where you buy your wiping cloth?
Thank you for filming this! I went ahead and ordered the same products to use on my bag, so looking forward to see the next steps 🤗
Anna Quach Yay! I have some do’s and don’ts I’ll be sharing in a new video soon based on my recent cleaning experience. I had a bit of a scare 😱 and I needed to scramble ... I don’t want anyone making the same mistake as me. Stay tuned!! 😉
Oh no 😱 I hope it turned out ok! Looking forward to next video! And a do and don'ts video would be great! 🤗
It’s looks so much newer after cleaning ! 👌🏻
Thanks so much. I didn’t realise I follow there products. I only have 1 designer bag which is a Gucci bag that I baby too much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After watching you cleaning your beautiful bag I thought about my bag that I hardly ever use. ❤️❤️

Thank you, for your response. Please keep posting more new videos soon!
Great job! I do think some of the black residue may be from the leather and thread dye though and not all dirt or dust. Can’t wait for part 2!!!❤️
chrisserz1 Thank you! I agree, in hindsight I believe a lot of the black residue was from the leather color. I’m sure the real germs are invisible!! 😂
Such a gorgeous purse- worth more and more elegant than the classic 2:55’s being produced today in my opinion. I think the miles only add to how classy it truly is. They just don’t make ‘em like they used to!!!🤣😘❤️
This type of leather is dyed and once wetted will always release a small amount of dye on to the cloth
