I saw this beautiful Gris T ostrich at a reseller in Tokyo..
Trying it on with white gloves
Well I'm totally in now, but before I take the plunge would like to ask for some opinions on ostrich.
I have gone through previous threads on ostrich durability and all, and there are opinions that ostrich lightens under prolonged exposure to sunlight (a tpf-er was even told by one SA that it lightens under prolonged exposure to moonlight?!), and some say that ostrich will darken. For ostrich that darkens, again there are different camps and opinions as to whether ostrich darkens evenly on the main body (some had theirs darken evenly and some not so evenly), so well, I am very confused and would really appreciate if some experts could chime in!!
I understand about the handles darkening, I am fine and can live with that. What I really want to know is did the main body of most people's ostrich darken or lighten after time, and does the color of the ostrich matter? Ie do lighter colors darken and dark colors lighten or vice versa?
Most importantly, I really hope someone can tell me how does Gris T ostrich in particular wears with time. Is it possible for Gris T to lighten even further?? If it darkens, would anyone be able to share a picture of a Gris T ostrich darkening unevenly or evenly??
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!!
