Happy Friday everyone!
I've been browsing for a bag in beige caviar and noticed that, particularly in vintage bags, the caviar sometimes appears speckled or mottled, where the top of the pebble/grain (the most rounded part, if that makes sense) is darker in color.
I did a search and found lots of threads on how caviar varies by season/batch, but I couldn't find anything about caviar looking "spotty." Initially, I thought it might be color transfer or dirt, but the darkening (if it even is darkening) appears too uniform for that to be the case. Is this "normal" and the caviar is intended to look this way? If not, can this be cleaned so the color is more uniform? Also, would love to hear your own opinions on caviar that looks like this!
I've attached photos (borrowed from Rebag) below as examples. The first two photos show the "typical" caviar and the others show varying degrees of the "spotty" caviar. Any insight would be appreciated
