How much will crash leather soften over time?
- Thread starter asbb
- Start date
It will soften a lot -- I have two black crash bags that I use a lot and they are very slouchy -- pretty much puddly. I also have a fairly well used purple crash and it's slouchy as well -- I've not used my choco crash as much so it's not as slouchy plus it's a slightly more structured style.
My pewter bags slouched a lot and very quickly. I had a plum crash LM Midi and I found the leather stiffer. I have a black crash which is really quite structured and still "creaky" if you know what I mean. I am hoping it softens the way everyone else describes.
It is what got me started on my Love Me fascination!
Good point re black crash. Mine never softened either for some reason.
I'm with you on pewter. It's quite a keeper!
I have a black crash TME that looked like stiff plastic when it arrived, but literally started to puddle within days. I have used it a lot and it is very very puddly now. I love it.
I wonder if you massage and hug it a little? Sounds weird, I know. I hate stiff, boxy bags so I tend to "help" them along a bit when I first get them. If you decide to fondle your bags, may I suggest you do it in the privacy of your own home? Only bag lovers would understand.

And I can be certain of that now after having experience with pewter which is one leather that just puddles.
I think the plum and choco crash are much stiffer leather's in general.
Good Luck and keep us posted!
