Thanks for watching! This is my in-depth comparison of Chanel Lambskin vs. Caviar leather using some of my medium classic flap collection.

I break the video down into three parts:
1. Background/History,
2. Pros & Cons (including misconceptions and who should buy the bag), and
3. Final Thoughts -- Would I pick Lambskin or Caviar?

I hope you enjoy and please leave a comment down below if there's anything I didn't cover!

  • I watched a channel where the woman refurbished a vintage lamb skin flap in good condition. She used a leather cleaner with a soft cloth first, then a leather lotion, which the bag drank up. She lotioned it three times, until the bag did not soak it up anymore, then she buffed it with a dry cloth. Any scratches disappeared. She said you can use a high quality black leather polish on black bags on worn corners. Alternatively, you send your bag out to get “spa’d “ by a reputable restorer. It came out like new. You can’t do that with caviar. I mean, you can, but scuffs and scratches won’t disappear.
  • Finally somebody said that!!! About how it will look like in 30 years with good care

    Lambskin is definitely a lot more luxurious. Caviar is more casual to me so it really just depends on how you plan to use your bag.
  • @HandbagFoodie
    Such a thorough walk through with lots of great points!

    I prefer caviar, but I'm so picky about it. 2021/22 caviar (like your bag) has been stunning, the nicest I have seen
  • I like caviar when I’m in a rush but lambskin just feels more luxurious. Since the classic flap is such a formal bag and I don’t use it daily, I would pick lambskin 💕
  • Thank you for the comparison. IMHO, caviar leather feels more durable and looks more casual. I have and love both. The lamb skin leather is tougher than it looks. My 8-year-old tote is still shiny with virtually no signs of wear and I carry it at least 6 days a month. Love your comment about not putting a handbag on the floor. Honestly, I cringe whenever I see someone shove a bottle of water into these expensive items but that’s just IMHO ☺️

    Thank you for this! New to Chanel and was deciding since the boutique only had lambskin if I will just be so sad once I have my first scratch, but you made me feel so much better about it.
  • @Retirement10
    Great video. Will be buying my first Chanel soon and leaning towards caviar
  • Lambskin seems more like the real deal. Something you would see in a French boutique.

    Love your collection! This video was so helpful! 💕
  • @WenD1908
    Your video was very informative, I really appreciate it. I lean towards caviar. I love the look and feel of it.
  • @bluerains.9059
    The crease above the back pocket from opening the flap repeatedly bothers me the most. That’s why I tend to go with caviar.
  • Lambskin is the crème de la crème when it comes to Chanel. It’s what makes it so luxurious looking. Caviar doesn’t give off that same luxurious vibe.
