I would like to know if it is normal in Epsom leather that the grains gets darken? I noticed, my one year old birkin in gold color the grains has dark/black spot all over my bag and it is very visible. I’ve used it only for less than 5 times and I stored it the dust bag. I wonder if it is normal or it has something to do with my usage or storing. Thanks in advance.
Is it normal on Hermes Epsom Leather?

My Birkin from 2019 is black so I can't answer about the spots but mine developed slight veining last year. I'm surprised being a stamped leather. Sorry about your spots and I hope someone can answer that for you and that maybe an artisan can clean them.
Could be it's picking up first from something touching it
Have you tried wiping with a damp cloth? It looks like it might have gotten dirty somehow
Looks like very light, initial color transfer. Any possibility it was worn with dark jeans etc? Purely guessing from your pics. I have very light coloured Epsom bags and this has not happened.
That’s my initial thought until I saw the inner of the sangle has the same marks too.
This is normal in my experience with epsom particular light colours
Its happened to a few of my bags particularly around the handle/sangles
I don't understand why it happens but its not dirt in my opinion as its happened to some bags before I have even used them
I asked someone who is very experience with Hermes leathers when I first noticed it happening to my bags and he said its normal

Hi, no! I live in Switzerland and I store all my bags properly. This is how I routinely store my bags, I put it in the dustbag for 2 weeks and leave it without a dustbag for a week. This bag has never been out of the house for more than 5 hours since I bought it.
Thanks for the information. If this is normal, I just have to deal with it then. Too bad that i haven’t read or seen similar reviews beforehand. I can’t imagine if it’s in whiter shades.
I first noticed it on my K25 in June poussin and I was really worried. Even now it does bother me if I inspect the bag but its not noticeable at all when actually wearing the bag. I also notice its on certain parts of the bag more prominently and less prominent on the actual body of the bag. After seeing it on JP and hearing its normal I checked all my other epsom bags and its happened tohappen to some degree on most of my epsom bags including some Ive never used so I agree its not dirt. None of my bags are heavily used and I store them all in a room which is air conditioned and the correct humidity.
