I know exactly what you're talking about and it's one of the major reasons I didn't buy this bag in camel. They consider it normal though.
Thanks for the validation soonergirl! I'm going to take it back and try and find a better one!

thank you Chihua5! I couldn't agree more about exchanging for a perfect one at the price we are paying.I have the oxblood saddle and the first one they brought out had those streaks, they said it's the normal character/grain of the leather but I did not like it so they brought out a different one which looked perfect-no streaks. For the price you are paying (even with a PCE), I would exchange it.
so i received my whipstitch mineral saddle bag today. The front flap, when you look at it from an angle, looks streaky the way the dye lays on the grain of the bag. Does anyone else know what I'm referring to without pictures? I think the bag is a return anyway. Should I return?
Joining with a black and oxblood saddlebag! I am very happy with the size I picked since I can fit my full size iPad in there. I had the hangtag monogrammed in pink and received that in the mail Tuesday since the store I went to was getting their table replaced and I don't live near by. Very happy with how it turned out.

I took mine back and was able to get a brand new one. In the store it looks good but will have to take it out in the sunlight tomorrow. Crossing fingers. A couple sales associates thought I was crazy and couldn't tell what I was referring to. Oh well. Rocketgirl, I'm glad that your streaking is limited to the inside under the flap. I don't think it's a real obvious thing and I'm sure others aren't analyzing my bag the way I am. I just know that if I'm aware of any imperfections I won't be able to get it out of my head and I will focus on them every time I carry the bag.YES!!! The front of my mineral is all streaky- as if the coloring is uneven or got wet. The top flap is fine-- it's the inside front that's all streaky.
I'm glad you got a new one. You're not crazy, those streaks are noticeable. I love mine, leather is amazing!I took mine back and was able to get a brand new one.

Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying and I have a feeling I really, really want to understand.These will be updated only on the next floorset.
I'm started to get interested in this bag but now they don't seem to have all the color options in this size. Looks great in the black. Congrats!

I think I know what you mean, too - my white rogue has them on the front if you look from a certain angle. I had two to compare and decided that the streaks bothered me less (they aren't real obvious) than the squashed corner of the other one that I had! I'm glad you got an exchange and hope it's perfect.I took mine back and was able to get a brand new one. In the store it looks good but will have to take it out in the sunlight tomorrow.

When I was at the store all they had was black/oxblood and I think the smoke? I was surprised at the little options. Thankfully I had intentions of getting the black/oxblood version otherwise I would have been very disappointed.
Thank you Rocket girl!!Agree - also glad the streaking is under the flap. I noticed only out in sunlight - as in: whoa - what happened - did this thing get wet? Looks like drips running down.
I'll stick with this one. Under the flap is OK, and trying to do better could wind up with worse!
Hope you're able to find one you love - without streaks!
