your pictures and patina are georgous! I love the way it looks with the patina much better. I wore mine to Atlantic City last week and when I saw the one at the store, compared to mine...I hate it when its white. Love the patina much better. Wish mine was as dark as yours, but its getting there!Bag Fetish said:here are pic's with some patina
i don't know yet. my BH is only starting to develop a little bit of patina and so far i don't mind. but i'm sure if it gets dark and splotchy i may not like it. i saw a woman today with the BH and her straps were BROWN. completely brown. don't know if that is patina at it's really late stages or what, but it looked nice from a distance.
All vachetta will eventually develop a darker patina. I used to 
only the lighter vachetta but now I getting to the point that I like the medium patina too. As my bags get darker I think that the dark patina will grow on me. My vintage Speedy has a darker patina and I love it 
The BH looks great with a darker patina IMO.

I love patina! I actually don't like the brand spankin' new vanchetta. It looks naked. Give me a nice honey colored patina any day!
I have learned a lot about this patina today. I did not know that there was a name for it. I think that it adds lots of character to the bag. Fortunetly a lot of the fake ones out there don't do this, of course they may and I just did not know about it.
I don't like it when the patina develops fully (like completely dark brownish) because I really love that naked vachetta look... Iono...I think it's really sexy and exotic lol! (I'm so weird...lol) However, knowing that I cannot stop time (I am no Uma Thurman in my Super Ex-gf), I also like a bit of patina. It's kinda like tanned, bronze leather which develops after a year or so.
