Anyone have (or have seen) a BF Kelly? Think I may be offered one at my appt. this week ( and of course, in a tizzy). How does the patina over time compare with smooth barenia? HELP!!

OMG how exciting!!!! I have a BF B30 and a smooth barenia evelyne. I haven't had my BF too long so can't comment on patina as it looks the same to me. I find it very very different from smooth barenia. It doesn't have the same velvety "feel" and the pebbled texture reminds me of gold togo but with a heavenly smell . However, it is a very versatile bag and it goes with everything and in my opinion, doesn't scratch as easily as smooth barenia. I don't think I've seen a Kelly in this leather yet but please post if you decide to get it! Can't wait to see what you get!

How exciting! I hope you take pictures. I don't think I've ever seen any Kellys in BF. My BF B35 is from 2017 and it still has that velvety texture. Although I only use it once or twice a year. I think some of the marks have blended into the bag over time forming a slight patina, but that might just be wishful thinking on my part.
 
Does anyone get scuff on they BF? If yes or did you guys know how to get it gone? I try to rub it with my finger and don't work, and I'm too scared to try baby wipes to clean it.
Never use baby wipes. Is it a scuff or a stain? It would depend what the stain was to know what might work. Honestly I would leave it and just enjoy your bag. This is the beauty of barenia and it will fade over time.

It's light scuff, like scratch but not deep. I will just let it blends then and see how it become. Thank you
