Thank you so much, @ r luvs h!! For a second I was wondering if I got a fake.

The reseller didn’t have pictures showing these scuffings. I read that chevre is easy to get scratches but also read that it is very hardy and durable. Is only one right or how should I interpret them?

Do you know with normal wear, will there be increasing number of “dots” and become noticeable? I checked out other people’s mysore bag pics online and didn’t notice any dots even in lighter colors. Wondering if mine is especially prone to scratch or they are not normally noticeable.

Thank you so much!!

I would recommend reaching out to the reseller first and foremost. Chèvre is absolutely a hardy leather— this is part of the reason it is used on the interior of many Hermès bags. Nevertheless, Chèvre is also susceptible to scratching. These things are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

To answer your second question, it depends what “normal wear” is for you. Will this be an everyday bag? A work bag? A going out bag? A picking-up-the-kids-from-school bag? On top of this, are you one who wears your bags freely, or are you rather cautious with how you use them? All these things can determine how the bag will wear over time. Obviously, frequent use will likely result in more scratching and scuffing, but please do not let that fear preclude you from using this beautiful bag. :flowers:

Does anyone have any tips on breaking in Hermes jumping boots? I just got a pair and I love how they look. However, I can only wear them for a few minutes because the footbed presses down on my big toe lol.

Chevre is actually a pretty resilient leather which is why they do use them for interior. I usually choose chevre over taurillon because it's a much lighter bag. In regards to scratches, I use my bags -- they "work" for me and I dont baby them. So far nothing major on the scratch front. I think it's a great leather overall
