Barenia SOS!!! Can this be restored?

[Grands Fonds]

toonie - the back of my trim (all barenia naturale) id very dark, whereas the front is not nearly as dark because the back is always rubbing against me when I carry it. Apparently over time it will all aptina to a fairly even, darl colour.

I'll charge up the camera and take pics later to show you the difference.

Also, the darker, "patina-ed" back side has become really quite glossy, like box does over time. And very smooth.

^ and the back doesn't scratch like the front does.

Thank you GF Very interesting ^^I have only seen this leather once,and it was a bariena toile combo. It looked lovely,the leather felt real sturdy very different from the other types of leathers.So on a good note it sounds as if most stains and scratches will eventually blend,or improve with time.
