My broken in mini mini black/ballerina bucket with major scratches on each side of the logo. I've used it every day since I got it at the last relaunch in March. At first I thought it would be too small, but it's perfect and now I want another mini mini!

I haven't done anything to fix the scratches, kinda hoping they just fade away.

Anyone know if scratches on black leather become less noticeable or should I do something to buff it out?

Here is the back of my year old Camello tote. Forgive the basic fluorescent lighting in my office. It dulls the color in IRL the bag has patina'd to this warm, rich cognac tone. I am so happy with how it has aged.

Thanks for sharing these photos. My brandy bucket has similar wear on the corners. How have you found the flamma calf leather to wear over time - does the colour deepen or stay the same? Does it mark easily? I just ordered a flamma cross body, can't wait for it to arrive!

The color of the flamma hasn't changed, only the vegetable tanned ones will. Your crossbody should stay pretty much the way you receive it. Can't wait to see it!

Hi all, I originally out this post up to solicit mod shots of used MG bags, to see how the leather softens over time and the bags hang after some use. I know there is another thread that talks about patina changes, but I think I am asking a different question.

Wondering if anyone can post pics of used MG bags? Like a year+? Or does the leather remain fairly rigid and I am just confusing older mod shots with new ones?

TIA!

^^ Thanks, JSG. Wasn't sure where this question belonged, as you can (maybe) see by my edits and re-edits. But hopefully I will get some responses here!

It's a great question! Take a look through this thread to see previous posts too. There are some good ones.

Here is my Black/Flamma large. I've been using it for at least 6 months. I switch between about five different buckets all the time. MG is my bag of choice at the moment.

You'll notice the leather is shinier. I haven't treated this bag in a while and I don't baby it. The leather has softened a lot, but it is still very structured.
