I tend to agree, even tho I paid so little for this bag I know they are very hard to come by and I don’t want to ruin it! I think I’m just not used to lighter color bags so perhaps it will grow on me….if not I’ll use the leather oil.I personally wouldn't have it dyed...it's expensive and you might not like the result. But I'm cheap that way. Personally I like my sage bag. to me it's very neutral - almost like grey. but of course what I like and what you like may differ. Good that you like the style.
Will keep you all posted!
