I have 5 vernis wallets, 4 in the lighter colors (beige, marshmallow,
peppermint and perle). All have held up surprisingly well, scratches
are not a problem -- funny, I totally thought when I got my first one
years ago, that would be the main issue! Color transfer *IS* an
issue with the lighter ones, so be careful. With my indigo viennois,
no fading, no scratches, no nothing. I also carry vernis small ring
agendas, again no problems -- vernis is more hardy than it looks!
