Last night I took out all my Bals, with the intention of rotating my least used bags.
As I was going through them, I was paying close attention to how the leather's held up over the years.
My 2011 Anthra Velo, ironically is a bag I use a lot because it's utter crap. The Anthra has that greenish tint to it, and the leather is dry. I just don't care what happens to it. The only reason I haven't sold it is because I don't wish that bag on any Bal fan.
My other one is my Cumin. I love the color, and the bag gets lots of use in the warmer months. It's held up well and it's not nearly as thirsty as my Anthra, but it's still on the dry side. I see a coat of leather honey in it's future.
I still can't get over how utterly crappy my Velo is. I must of been in denial when I got it because I just don't understand why I didn't return it. Also disappointed in Bal for allowing it to even be sold, and from their online store!! No quality control.
So I'm wondering, does anyone else have any craptastic Bals?
