Yes, I‘m terrified of scratches too. If it came in grained leather I would buy it in a heartbeat. From what I can tell from the pictures, the version with the stitching around the edges is in grained leather, but I don‘t like the stitching.Had a look at the Bobby. It’s gorgeous but the medium is quite small in terms of what it can hold. Would love the large Bobby if it came in oblique. A bit terrified of the beautiful calfskin leather - one scratch and I’d be horrified! Thinking now about a Lady Dior instead.
