Thanks ...that was my impression...does it bother you? or do you just feel that's the nature of the leather and it's OK with you?The style you pictured does scratch and this is the nature of the leather. I bought one 2 years ago and it was covered in scratches new.
Thanks...I believe the bag I posted above was the tobacco color also. Nice brown...not too dark.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170252996073&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=007
That color is beautiful and the texture of this bag while not nearly as grainy as the Miky is very durable and soft and yummy!
I think they call this color tobacco.
Cheers
Thanks dcblam. That bag was such a good price (something like 75% off full retail) that I was tempted to overlook the scratches. But DH came along and said "it's just going to get more scratches". I was at the point where I'd already been in the store too long, so I folded. Even though $450 for an $1800 bag is a great deal, it's only great if you're going to be happy with it.Here are some Tod bags on Jomashop:
