Here is my smooth porosus croc Kelly cut clutch in 1P Colvert, a 2019 purchase from HI. She is never in rain or snow. Worn her a few times every year, and still retains her mirror like gloss in excellent condition. Never left out in the open, when not in use always stored in wardrobe in her dustbag away from sunlight. Also, in a low humidity environment. So, I'd say it's aging gracefully (I'm bias).
