Pictures of my Cammello bucket vs. a brand new one. It is really quite fascinating to see the difference! I think a patina'd Cammello bucket looks so much better :D

Beautiful. Did you treat it with any leather conditioner?

Totally agreed with u. The older one has nice vintage character with darker color n scratched look. Pls share products u use on the older bucket [emoji4]

Thank you ladies!

I just use Blackrock leather cream whenever I have time (which is not very frequent) and use an old pair of socks to buff the cream in. It really helps with the fine scratches.

Another tip to speed up the darkening process -- I let her tan in the balcony! Remember to ensure both sides have roughly equal exposure. I did this to my relatively new crossbody and it has helped! Refer to below.

Here's my camello/sun mini bucket! Left was the first day I got it, and the right is today. I received the bag in late July and pretty much wore it every day for the rest of the summer. So this is about 2 months of wear in pretty sunny weather (we have an unusually warm, dry weather in Vancouver).

There's some big scratches in the front but I think the scratches make it so individual as the bag ages, I don't even mind :)

Its wonderful!! Yours still looks in good shape! I'm enjoying the process for 2 days now :-)
 
Here's my mini Bucket Bag Cammello with Rosa interior after 2 months :-)

It scratches really easily. Sometimes I would accidentally swipe my nails across and it would be scratched :( Also, I am starting to see scuffs and dark marks at the 4 corners outside.

ALSO, PLEASE HELP ME: I've been figuring out for the longest how to tie the knot. Please help me, I've been looking for tutorials and videos but found no good ones. :(
