well, there is a whole discussion on this in one our thread here which was dedicated to the antik cervo leather, how durable they are etc. i travelled with mine to a "third world" country and it held up much bettern than i thought it would be. i stuffed it with loads of stuff duing travel too. but i have another experience with my antik cervo leather wallet, which i kinda trash around because i carry it in a backpack. and this time the edges scuffed a bit. so i am guessing, that unless you are really rough with it, it shoul hold up alright. in that same thread i mentioned, there were suggestion as to how to make the scuffing better. i think one PFer used shoe polish on some of her scuff and apparently it looked like new after! she even had a before and after pic. you should check out that thread. padparasha created the thread, and a whole bunch of us chimed in for a long time. so this thread should be easy to find. anybody?
