Hi all, can you help me pls? Noticed there are some black marks on this Tempete City which I am buying from eBay. Are these unique to Tempete leather? Will you accept such a bag?

I'm checking my tempete PT right now, I guess mine has them too? I don't really notice these things since I think it's part of the natural leather. It's one of my favorite colors and I love my tempete PT :)

Many thanks, missty4

The seller did mention that it's unique for Tempete.

I really adore this color, which will be my first Bbag. I think I can buy it without regrets now, I hope, hehe.

Those black marks are even more noticeable on lighter colored bals. I have them all over my Granny mu. Yep, I think those are freckles on the natural leather.

Yea, come to think of it, my granny work is the same. I actually like those dark freckles, gives it character

Thanks juicy couture jen and missty4, more confidence for me to have it now.

Hi, my mandarin twiggy also have black marks on her.... it's not a defect or whatsoever. Agreed with missty and 4 juicy couture jen that it's natural part of the leather....

Can anyone check their lighter colored chevre bags for these marks? I only have dark colored chevre so I can't really tell. I'm just curious is this is just a characteristic of agneau leather or both?

^^ I think they're more prevalent in Agneau, but some lighter Chevre's have marks of a different kind... like freckles.

Regardless - I think they're just natural characteristics of the leather and the dyeing process.
