hey, that's a good price for a brand new stam! i really love this color. congrats!
the color has worn off of the bronze pw stams. if you plan on using this bag every single day then it's bound to happen. i don't know if treating it has been successful at all. you might want to wait until bronze stam owners chime in. however, if this bag is going to be put into a rotation of sorts then you should be fine.
