Been meaning to post these pics! Mobile tPF won't let me post more than one pic in a post, so excuse my multiple posts! Don't have the best before pic, but the stock photo on the MG site will help 😅 as you can see, it has darkened a lot. I don't really condition regularly, and I don't mind the scratches. I actually like how my bag has worn EXCEPT for the bottom left there's a stain and some scratches that sort of bug me :( other than that I love this bag. It has softened so much, doesn't squeak, and I actually don't baby it at all anymore. I used to put it on my lap when riding in the passenger seat, but now I put it on the floor and whatnot, toss it around.

The back! The huge scratch you see freaked me out initially, but it's slowly fading away and I don't mind it at all :) I seriously love this bag. I was so scared of the bag changing due to being untreated and wished it would stay pristine when I first got it, but I love it so much more now! 😊

Thanks for sharing! I've been looking for a picture that shows patina against the rosa.. It looks beautiful! I ordered a cammello during the relaunch and seeing how beautifully yours has aged has gotten me so excited!

Here is my cammello large tote with naked leather interior. I've been using this everyday for the last 3 months as my work bag, carrying a 15inch MacBook. The corners are starting to get dented. Have any of you experienced that with your totes?

I have experienced it with the top corners where my arm bends the edges back a bit. I just keep trying to put leather cream on it so they remain fine lines and not deep wrinkles!

I really love this! The patina looks amazing. I can't wait for mine to do that. How long did it take to get that level of color?
I also love the slight sheen...just gorgeous :)

Thank you!! I got it last year during the Dec relaunch. Used it probably once a week or less during the first 4-5 months of this year. Then the last 2 months like 3-4x a week. I love this bag! :)

Wow, so it may take a bit.
I will have to take her out in the sun, maybe that will do it:)
Did is soften up to wear it's not so stiff? I usually only wear really squishy leather bags, so it is different.

It does soften a bit, however not that much. It retains its structure and doesnt slouch. The back part that hits my hip dents the bag inward when I wear it, but pops back out easily with a push. HTH!
