Plus if there is a bit of a mark, it will add character to your bag and it's like having reminder of your mom when you are using your bag. My dog (who have since passed) licked my cabas piano many years ago when I first got it and at first I was upset but then whenever I looked at the mark (which has since faded) I think of him and his goofy ways... each little mark - even if at first it seems upsetting - does end up having an interesting aspect/story to it... so enjoy your bag as the Palermo is gorgeous.
