I have a question. Does Epsom stretch at all? I bought a pair of day sneakers in Epsom and I love the way they look but the left shoe pinches a little. It’s a little too narrow. Do you think that it will stretch out in time or should I return them?
How is your epsom bag ageing?

I have a 6 year old kelly. The side panels are doing this creasing. Can spa fix?
Looks natural/normal to me
this is an old thread but think it worth throwing in my thoughts on epsom given recent discussions that discounting Epsom is purely snobbery. That’s how I felt until I experienced three dud bags and all epsom. I think generally it’s a durable leather but every Epsom bag I’ve had has not held up well or even started out well. With larger bags like 30-35 the leather had dents from the beginning and further dented and warped over time. The leather also chipped very easily at the larger sizes due to bumping into other things. It also did not do well as a flap bag imo. I had bad creases on another bag that were visible from the beginning and over time the creases got worse and worse over the top and front and back of the bag after less than a dozen uses. So no I will never buy epsom again unless it’s an slg. I’ve never had any problems with Togo or chèvre.
Edit - one more thing I don’t like about Epsom is how the color saturates the leather in certain colors. It’s lighter. Gold sellier kelly or Constance for example looks orangey tan. In photos these bags capture well but irl the color difference with Togo or evercolor is noticeable imo.
