I love how it looks and how much use it has gotten!! Bravo!I have a Camello/Antico that I have used every single day since April this year for a a total of 7 months.
It has been used in rain and shine, left in the car in 50 degree Centigrade temperature, kept on floors of hospitals and at home, shoved under the airplane seats, squeezed into shared lockers, tossed in the car and fallen down, been scratched by my cat, carried it for my photography assignments and left it on all sorts of surfaces, grazed on walls and all sorts of surfaces, used to carry food for the stray cats, carried my lunch and sometimes even for small grocery runs and on and on and on. Basically, I have used it like a bag was meant to be used without thinking much about it.
I am attaching pictures of the front and back as well as the corners. There is quite some wear and tear but is completely expected since I have used it every single day for 200 days without a break. It is specially noticeable at the corners. The bag has a beautiful patina and almost looks like a lighter version of the Brandy
Overall I am so pleased with the quality of the bag. Trust me, I have literally used it like a $ 10 bag and it has held up SO WELL. The wear at the corners is not as noticeable in real life as it is in photos. Also keep in mind that these pics were taken under fluorescent lighting. It looks much better in daylight with a healthy sheen.

Love the look of a well-used bag! I don't really baby my bag either!

I love how you use your bag and it's very lovely.
No I have not used any conditioner. Just took it out of the box and started the abuse

You are my hero :worthy: This is exactly how I'd love to use my bags and I'm trying, I'm getting better at it
I have barely used any other bag since I got it. There is something SO addicting about its simplicity
The darker it gets, the more beautiful it looks.
Thank you
That is the way bags should be used... I wear this bag and the bag does not wear me.
I love how you use your bag and it's very lovely.

Yaay! Take them out more often

I think it's absolutely beautiful and honestly, I don't think I could tell the wear from a first look. And I love to wear in my bags too, just like how you've done. That's what they are meant for anyway, carrying things around and being a good sport with your outfit.
Your story has inspired me, I think I might go straight to wear with my brandy bucket instead of hunting about for conditioners and such. Heh, I'm also really lazy to do that.
