Dunking will change it, but after using the bag for a while, it should become soft again. I would go with your gut feeling, because you can always dunk it in the future, but you can't undunk it.
Hmm ok I will probably just stuff n' steam in the bathroom then, maybe that will help. I am finding myself torn between whether stiff, slightly drier leather is better for looks than super soft and conditioned leather that tends to slouch in the sides and corners.
 
Did you get the fake Kate Spade bag with them? Lol
I purchased previously but returned them. Do you think the collegiate is shoe polished? They’re great nyc bags!
I did lol they went in the donation bag. The collegiate may have been dyed, it didn't feel like shoe polish, as soon as it hit water there was blue everywhere, I scrubbed until the water wasn't smurf blue, that took 2 baths. After though, it looked like the normal deep navy an nyc bag it supposed to be. The black one was a mess. I loved the collegiate but alas just didn't fit things right.

I steamed one of my bag by put it inside a big clear plastic garbage bag with a big jug of boiled water., Just make sure the bag raised like tent without touching the bag. Worked pretty good and save on water too.
