i'm so confused...wrinkles, crinkles and veins

[sugarplush]

Hi girls.. I was looking at my BBag and realised that the left side of the bag is more wrinkley than the right?! How weird is that.. is that normal? It can't be that the left side has broken in before the right, can it? FYI, today was the first time I carried the bag out since I bought it last Friday. Please help!!

I have seen this before in BNWTs bags: just a function of the differences in the pieces of hide used in each panel

I'm still confused, or confused again.

Please tell me how you would describe this leather. Also, will it stay like this or change as it wears in? Thanks. (Sorry for posting this bab all over the forum but I am confused about this leather. Ignore the dark mark for now, I'm still trying to sort that out.)

Hi guys! Without the search function I couldn't tell if there was already a thread regarding this, so sorry if there is :shame:
My topic: Wrinkles. As in "flaws". Do any of your bags have them? How do you feel about them? Are they really noticeable?
I'm thinking of buying a bag with one of these flaws, and I just want to know what I'm getting myself into ( I don't want to be disappointed)
Any pics would help too!

My AnthraCity is exactly like cracker's. She's super distressed(deep creases running evenly throughout the bag and it's super smooshy) and shinier than any of my other Balenciagas. I LOVE her!

^^I love this look. I've actually started to like the look of b-bags that are more distressed. Beautiful tooshies!

p.s. I think that the '07 bags had more "shine" to them - what do you think?

The wrinkles in certain brand are a mark of distresses leather and might be specifically made to be seen.. otherwise probably hall mark of usage. the main thing is how comfortable you feel carrying that particular bag.

I also would like to know how you would categorize this kind of leather. My sapphire city is this way. I am loving the raised texture though.

I think crackly is the word. Yes, lots of texture in those bags.

Hi guys, can you please help me identify the leather in my bbag?
I feel like it's definitely not veiny (is veiny=distressed?) nor wrinkly..

I'm still confused on how you know a bag is chewy, thick or thin. Please help me out..

 

[kicksarefortwids]

i don't understand "chewy" at all (must mean i don't have one)! i too would like to know how the experts would describe the green bag above (is that very thyme) and this bag:

anyone?

I'm a newbie and don't know the definition of veiny. I thought veiny = distressed. From what I've read veiny isn't a good feature.
