Alas, you bunch of enablers, not a single person said, yuck, what an awful bag, send her away as quickly as you can.
In my limited experience they all break in so well! Thin leather becomes thicker (how I don't know but it's definitely happening with my rouille city), stiff leather softens ...
about the handles (or any other parts of the bag for the matter), maybe you needn't apply any moisturiser directly. what Corey of RDC suggests is that you could rub your moisturised hands over the desired areas. but really, that's where your hands will have constant contact with anyway, so i really won't worry about it at all as for darkening of handles, what about your sahara?
i didn't say keep it
Is that really true?? I haven't had the chance to use 1 Bbag consecutuvely since my collection keeps evolving, but if it is true, I can't wait to break in each and every one of them!! I love the VT Day on you, is your decision final on returning that beauty?In my limited experience they all break in so well! Thin leather becomes thicker (how I don't know but it's definitely happening with my rouille city), stiff leather softens ...
Verty, so what do you think of the leather on your mum's city now? Will you miss this bag when it leaves you?
The leather looks very dry & distressed to me and I wouldn't keep it! I'm not confident of how the leather will soften in a short time and also the distressed part!
True. :s You didn't comment either way but you did say that yoda was looking good. I admire your discipline when it comes to bags.
The Sahara handle is doing fine so far. I think. Sometimes it's difficult to notice gradual change when you use a bag a lot. I'm spraying it every few weeks. So far I haven't used LMB for handles but I'm thinking of getting some. I'm actually more concerned for my rouille handles since I handhold that city more than the Sahara day (mostly carried on shoulder).
Thanks Nada, for your comment on the leather.
Funny thing is, it looks like it should be dry but it's not at all dry! Not one bit. That's why I can't figure out how this leather is going to change over time. It's not a matter of moisturising it, my guess is adding moisture wouldn't change it much at all. I'm intrigued.
