The break-in process? :sweatdrop:

I have a hard time waiting for it to happen naturally so I tend to massage them, hang from door knobs and treat them a little "rough" in the beginning...just to speed things up.

Does anyone else do this? :P

My Aqua broke in real quick from just using her a couple of times a week for a month or so. I think the warm Florida weather helps a lot! Since I'm learning this I'm trying to slow down the "breaking" in process! I love the new sturdiness of my black city. But the broken in look *sigh* is just so yummy.

Hanging sounds like a cool idea. I bet wearing it over the shoulder is much easier after they have broken in a bit!

Heck yeah! Especially my Blueberry Day, who needed some help getting over her shiny, stiff phase. I actually wrung her like a wet towel after reading descriptions here about making 06 leather more like 05 leather. it worked!

Please do elaborate on this :graucho:

I also will be hard on my bbags in the beginning if I think they are too new looking. I did this with my SS giant work. I carried it every day and with ALOT of things in it. You should see it now. Its already falling into a heap which I LOVE and its got those slouch lines or leather pull marks on either sides of the handles on the bag part which I particularly love. Its like that front and back now and the handles have stretched a bit.

Anyway, back to the bag wringing. You were saying?

I am so guilty of this. I loaded up my city and let it hang on a hook when I couldn't carry her. I also was a little rough with her and now it has amazing leather and the handles fit on my shoulder now.

I looove to massage and caress my bbags! Sometimes after putting lotion on my hands, I'll put a little of the residue on the dry spots. I also hung the bags on doorknobs with heavy things inside and even tugged on them a little.
