It's burnished, and color saturation depends on lighting. Due to different colors of edgepaint they are from different releases for sure

Did it sell do you have a pic I am looking at buying one but don't like the fringing so will be removing gulp too 70,s for me
Hi there are you still loving the mineral I am toying with buying one but can't decideNope! I am keeping both! Different sizes, different colours, different styles, different uses...so clearly I "need" bothBesides, there is no way I could choose!
I know, it is pretty - and very different than the pebbled Butterscotch leather on the Rogue.
Thanks Hobbsy! It is hard to capture and I love it - I have nothing else like it for sure.
You don't have to entirely de-fringe it. I hated the 4 'corner' pieces of fringe because they stuck out like cat whiskers, so I just removed those 4 pieces. The ones that hang down the side of the bag look right, the cat whisker ones just didn't. There are some photos on here somewhere that shows a totally defringed one and partially defringed ones.
I do! I am actually on a trip this weekend and brought it with me as may main daily bag. It is so soft so feels nice on hip or under the arm (if you carry as a shoulder bag). I also love the colour.
Hi! Sorry for the delayed response. Yes! I listed it & it sold within an hour. Probably priced it too low but given the modifications, pricing was a struggle.
What did it sell for as I don't want to pay too much given I am going to defringe it immediately
I accepted a best offer of $250. I was pleased with that given the time I had to carry it & the changes I had made to it. The buyer was very pleased with it.
Hmm I recently bought a defringed one with my buyer account on ebay within an hour of its listing.. Seller also had a beautiful red one that I debated on, but it's leather snap tab thingy had been cut so I got the mineral instead. The red sold even faster than the mineral.
That tab thing gets in my way, but I don't dare cut it. I think I have 6 saddle bags and 2 Dakota with it, bad design IMO.
Just tuck the tab into the pocket or behind the leather tag. I do that with both my saddles and it does not get in way at all.
I do understand why they have it, but I feel okay not using it.
I do tuck it in, but also keep stuff in the zip pocket so it becomes a bit of a hassle. It's always when I'm rushing that I need to access that pocket and I find myself griping at that piece lol. I don't even carry much, but like to keep eye drops and lotion in there. So here I am, dollop of lotion in the palm of my hand trying to tuck the tab back in without smearing the lotion everywhere.
So, I rather impulsively did a partial defringe tonight of my Mineral Whiplash; I did not mind the lower fringes except they would get all bent up during storage - the longer ones don't get this issue so much as they don't get squished at bottom of dustbag, etc. I just cut them, retied a knot, and glued them. The ones on back aren't pretty but I was able to hide the knots on front ones "behind" the first section. See how that goes; or else I will just remove them and leave the little holes.
Looks good! I removed those on mine too. I hated them because they were stiff and stuck out like cat whiskers. I just removed them and left the hole though, others on here have closed them up nicely like you did.
