No worries- its safe on aberdeen. Apply very liberally to a soft rag and rub it gently and evenly all over your bag. Repeat as needed until leather is completely saturated with the conditioner. It will look dark when its wet but will return to its original color once dry. Reapply whenever your bag looks dry/hungry!
Awww voodoo I dont know what to say.... I think bello in a lighter color like tan- possibly... but I just dont really know until I get one for myself and try it out!

TE, I know you don't have a crystal ball, but any idea if the Boogie may come back in black with black trim? Fingers crossed...Thanks much!
Definitely not for pre fall/ fall 2.
Tano's next collection (pre spring? resort? dont know what they are calling it yet) will be shown in NYC at a trade show August 2-4
Feel free to ask me questions about that collection after the show...

Okay...thanks much, TE! Can't wait to learn about that collection. Can't believe it's time for resort already!
Hi, TE!
I just purchased a grape minilisa from a very reputable ebay seller with 100% positive feedback and over 7,000 transactions, but the grape minilisa has several differences from the blueberry one I already have (it was purchased new at an authorized retailer).
Here's the link to the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370224251404&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:US:1123
The differences I've noticed are pretty subtle (not noticeable in the auction pics at all), but they stand out to me in person:
--hardware is slightly bigger on the grape, including the ring on the sides and the studs on the strap.
--The leather on the grape feels stiffer, but I don't know what to make of that b/c my blueberry was in the store for a while before I got it, so maybe it softened up there, and the few times I've carried it? (Just got it a couple weeks ago)
--On one of the side pockets on the grape, the orange lining sticks up past the zipper when opened.
--In the bottom of the bags, when I feel at the bottom of the lining, I feel a much bigger strip of leather in the bottom seam of the grape than in the blueberry.
--Finally, the seams on the grape around the side pockets are much bigger, and they look less "finished" at the top than the blueberry.
So I guess my question is whether these types of things are normal variations in the bags, whether slight hardware changes may have been made from season to season, whether these things are all a factor of a bag's not being broken in yet, or whether I should be questioning an ebay powerseller with such a high feedback rating when I'm only just becoming familiar with the bags.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there
Im sorry but I dont recognize that particular style offhand... it may have been a special cut for BG.
It appears to be a brusciato brown crunch leather bag from Spring or Fall 2007.

Hi tarheelgirl1
Honestly I wouldnt worry about slight variations in the product... these bags are made by hand by human beings the old fashioned way.
I guarantee the grape will turn smooshy when you use it. Condition it with lexol as needed- grape is a thirsty color !
