It’s hard to say how much fading there is, because depth of shade among the same season‘s color is so individual. Also, the color looks even, so a bit of fading would not be obvious. The leather texture on this one is lovely regardless. :loveeyes:

Thanks, love :amuse:. I'd keep her for the leather alone, hehe. So soft. Was thinking to try getting my hands on some LH to deepen the color? But first the little stinker needs to air out...

The leather is wonderful. There’s something about ink that, no matter what the “fading,” it still looks good.
I’ve been looking at this, but opted to get a black one. I kinda regret it…

Hey peoples!
Just unpacked something. I'm an Ink virgin, haha. How bad is the fading on this? What would you say? I think I like it. Leather feels very nice. But poor thing was stashed and sealed in a plastic bag... :facepalm:

“Ink virgin” LOL! Looks to be in pretty good shape overall. I have always admired the ink color in photos and will join you once mine arrives. I‘ve had Ceejay’s on layaway and slowly paying that one off. We will be twinning! :drinks:
 
Technically purchase in June but arrived in July: Lanie's 1 of 4 2005 teal cities! This one was definitely a workhorse bag that was out and about getting things done. I can see how amazing the original teal was in certain areas but am appreciative of what it is now. Super versatile and I can see this being an easy-to-grab bag for myself. :love:

When I have time, I'll give it a clean/condition. Maybe the slight stains will lighten up a little though it's not terribly noticeable from a distance.

I was lucky, the original tags were inside the inside zipped pocket along with 2 new tassels!! I replaced both of the tassels because they were both cut off too short and now it looks great!!


Congratulations, the leather looks great! How fun it'll be to use this. My monitor shows this to be black, is that the color?
