I still love bbags, but the wear they show in a short amount of time is shocking to me. I have been wearing my VG GH Day constantly for a few weeks, and to me it looks like it has about a year's worth of wear on the top half already. It's faded significantly at the top, the shine has completely worn off on parts of the top, and the color in general has faded in areas of the bag as well. The bottom half of the bag, however, still looks pristine--very shiny, no scuffs, and darker than the rest of the bag. Obviously, most of the wear is up top where there is friction against my body or where I grab it to open it to get things out. Overall the bag still looks great, but when you look at it closely you can see these things.
