i would have thought that LV bags were much more hardy!
my epi bags i never worry about at all, even if they fall on the floor..
and the mini mono is easy to clean and can't really scuff.
and the canvas, i've never seen a marked or scuffed one, no matter how old or used..
i don't have a vachetta item but i suppose those would be verry sensitive to marking..
but bbags... i'm always paranoid about scuffing or darkening... maybe it's the soft leather or the light colours i like...
but even dark colour bbags have popped up with major darkening and scuffing, it seems..
like where the piping is worn and broken right through; holes in the leather body; dark dark handles and corners; tassles worn to mushy shreds....
it really affects the value, although it suits the "look".
although bbags seem to resist staining very well, though our hearts skip a beat when something falls on it and marks it temporarily, it never remains..
and yeah, the tassles... i'm always worried about those getting caught in things, caught in their own zippers... i wish the bbag looked the same without them.
i've given up worrying about the splitting and just assumed it was par for the course.
