+100. I’ve never had an issue with tarnishing of ghw. Or any HWI've never had any tarnishing on any of my Chanel bags or wallets, in any hardware colors, my oldest item is almost 20 years old. TBH I don't read about it often, I don't find it to be a common issue.
but I don’t even have an issue with the old striped metallic leather or so black hw, both things that seem to be problematic for many other TPFers. Maybe just luck, IDK
