Yes, Bleecker is just a line of bags. Just like the Italian Madisons have no relation to the current Madisons, and 2006 Legacy has no relation to 2013 Legacy.Thanks, Whateve! So Bleecker is just the name then, and it has nothing to do with the kind of leather the bag is made of, or the way it should be treated? When searching for the answers to my questions, I came across an old discussion here on tPF about treatment of different Bleeckers, and there was also reference to burnished leather some of them were made of... all this just worsened my confusion...
