This is my B30 swift in ciel. After 8 yrs, it is still standing upright and the leather is still smoothI am using a samorga insert to help keep the structure as this is normally a slouchy bag as it ages over time.
Wow 8 years in a size 30?! She hardly looks not less than a year old. Off to search for the bag insert!

Wow! How do you clean it and keep it in tiptop shape?
I don't have a KC (yet hehe) but I do have a pochette and jige in swift and I love them! Swift is great for clutches. I don't really baby mine and they still look brand new. It's definitely not as delicate as people think.
I have a samorga insert which I leave inside, along with air paper, when storing the bag in an upright position.I just use her normally with care (I make sure I don't wear anything dark which is prone to color transfer when I take her out).
Here's her back

Still in pristine condition! She's a beauty!
Thanks
swift is really a great leather. Smooth and soft and ages really well. Brings out the beauty in the bag 
Your post is so helpful here! I am thinking about getting a B30 in swift and am amazed at how great yours looks despite being 8 years old. Can I ask how floppy it is when you take out the insert? Thanks.Thanks
swift is definitely not as delicate as one may think, it actually is quite good against scratches too!
Thanks! I only have Swift in a Kelly Pochette, so was wondering/worried about the degree of slouching to expect in a B30. Of course I’ve read through the threads
It seems to vary from puddling leather and bulges in the leather from stretching in the worst cases to some bags maintaining structure very well.
Perhaps only using a lighter load inside and usinf a bag organizer from the beginning will be the trick.
My SA said that recent swift leather has been thicker than the swift from a few years ago. I’m not sure how true that is but my new bag feels pretty sturdy.Thanks!

Do u baby your bags? If i have such light color bag in swift, it sure will have a "rock and roll" look. HAHA
