In looking at patterned Dooney bags, I've noticed color "fading" or darkening in most preloved items. Especially blacks fading and whites yellowing. For instance, this bag where the patina has made the black and the colors look much less vibrant:

I'm guessing this is something that just happens to all Dooneys? I really like the designs of some patterned pieces, but I suppose I just want verification going in that yes, the vibrancy of these items will decrease over time. On a case by case basis, that would also probably keep me from purchasing an item; I love the disney dooneys, but I don't think I'd like the patterns nearly as much once the whites yellow.
