So, I've had my lovely Cara for a week now and have took it out twice. Both times it has come home with several scuffs and small scratches to the leather
I never expected it to stay pristine forever and while I don't particularly "baby" my bags I do take care of them and it was well looked after on both trips out. Most of the scratches seem to be from my nails when opening the top flap. My nails are not long and they're smooth (well filed) so I'm puzzled that this is happening. The ones from the first trip (Tuesday) are mostly faded now (I can still see them, but they're not as bad as they were) but the ones from last night are quite bad still.
Before taking the bag out I gave it a good going over with the leather Colloni gel and 2 coats of the waterproof spray - is there anything else I can or should do? Or it is just to be expected? It just made me a little sad, for it to be showing signs of damage so quickly and so easily :cry:
