I've been using my mini mini bucket since last Tuesday.

Brand new (w/flashes)

As you can see, the bag kinda flatten a little bit from use. It also got some water stains today. I got caught in a down pour. It's not that noticeable to me and I don't mind the marks. I think it's more beautiful than when it was brand new.
I love it! It's so cute:)
I love the color combo too.

Looks fab, water stains and all! Taking my mini mini away for a weekend and am determined to not worry about it and just enjoy it. Thats the plan anyway ;)

Thanks! You should definitely enjoy it. Its such a gorgeous bag! I don't baby my bag at all. In fact, just a couple days ago, my puppy got a hold of it and put a few teeth marks on it but you really can't tell.

Have a great weekend!

Oh my! I was worried about my Golden puppy drooling on mine. When I was taking pictures he sure was sniffing at it!
 
I applied a second coat of Apple Leather Care conditioner on my Brandy mini bucket last night. (The first coat was about two weeks ago?) afterwards I realised I'd never applied any to the area where the straps overlap, so before I rectified that I took a photo with the untreated strap as a reference to show how the conditioner has helped to deepen the patina over a fairly short period of time.

Leather milk??? [emoji15] does that thing makes leather patina faster? If so, please give me exact name or brand of that product!


It's Chamberlains Leather Milk #1. Recommendation c/o all the wonderful women here. I got it on Amazon. Works particularly well in the cammello and Brandy bags although for some reason it looks uneven when you first apply to the Brandy. It dries perfectly though.
 
lovely brandy! [emoji173]️



Ooh... Your bag is so gorgeous!
Every time I think I don't need another MG ,I see a Lady bag or this cross body and want one!
Thanks for posting that:)

Thanks everyone. I love carrying this bag. Highly recommend cross body and love Brandy in any shape!
