I'm happy as long as one side is more or less uniform, if there is a difference on the back it doesn't bother me!It’s thick, pebbly and smooshy. On the other side it has one of those mismatched panels that people used to complain about: one side is very pebbly while the other is more smooth. I will take some more pictures tomorrow. It doesn’t bother me much. I think it’s interesting. But, of course, I didn’t pay full price.

Ok this is finished. I posted about it somewhere... Anyway this is the first time I used Angelus Leather paint. I wanted the handles to look better. It was pretty easy, you paint then after 12-24 hours paint it with an acrylic sealer. It wasn't messy, pretty easy. I'll let you know how it wears. 
looks great
I just checked out the Angelus Leather paint briefly.....looks like you would have had a few browns to choose from....of course you chose right

I just bought this same paint for a vintage DB bag I have! Glad to hear it worked out! Although I did not know about the sealer...
@Shelby33
Here's my Chocolate/Caramel MAM and Chocolate/Caramel Nikki. The leather looks and feels the same. Both have FDL lining.

Nope. I have two other bags that I want to work on first. So the DB is just waiting.
After reading a bit more I think the sealer is more for shoes and sneakers, so you may not need it!
I actually didn't but I fixed it! To anyone else doing a similar bag, British Tan is not the correct color!
I thought the BW was too shiny and read that spraying it with rubbing alcohol would dull it. It's definitely not as shiny now, not sure if I will do it one more time or not.
Here is CORAL, not persimmon. Which is good because that leather is stiff and this is soft! I think this is the newest never been used bag I've gotten so far. It looks great with white, grey, yellow, red, etc. It will be fun breaking this in!
The color is somewhere between these.
