It has been repainted and colored, according to the description.
*I'm seeing this on alot of listings lately~ Is this common? And if so, how does it hold up over time?

I don't think it's been repainted. Maybe corners and handle, but not the whole bag. I'm the first the scream "paaaaaaaaaaint!" but this one does not set me off. Painting the bag eliminates the texture and high/lowlights and makes the color look flat and uniform, and unlike the inside leather tag. The leather tag and rest of the bag look the same. Also the threads don't show tell tale signs of trapped paint.

In the listing it says the bag has been repainted, “Minor body stains and wear. Has been repainted and colored.” At least they disclosed the repainting which isn’t always the case so kudos to them.
This is happening so much on Vestiare, eBay and TRR

I'd never be able to carry an oldie in that condition! (which is why I no longer have most of my oldies!).

Almost All my oldies are like that... which is why I virtually never carry them....I just stare and molest them.
I have to get over my obsession and carry then but I worry about handling them and sunlight...sigh 😕

Thank you all for all your well wishes... and please forgive any stupid redundant questions I may ask like who got the elusive DT city and other remedial queries.

I miss so much with work and medical stuff coming up. Please be patient.

In comparison to the LE Lime we were recently discussing, here's another, but it has clearly been dyed:

Definitely painted all around. This painted one is Militaire, which should look like this unpainted.
