Okay... so. I have a question about color-fading issues with legacy duffles. Particularly, the chocolate boho duffle.
I received my boho the other day, and went about conditioning it with apple (my usual routine). I noticed that a light (LIGHT) application of apple, applied with very light strokes, resulted in a noticeable amount of chocolate dye coming off on the soft cloth I use for all apple applications.
The only other bags where I've seen this degree of noticable dye removal with conditioning were my teal sabrina and cherry sabrina... both of which I still own, with full knowledge that these bags are known to have color-fading issues at the corners (I accept it as a probable future reality and only wear these bags when my outfit demands it.... but love them so much I couldn't bear to part with them).
Out of sheer scientific curiosity, I gently rubbed an extra-soft kleenex over the leather on my boho today and came away with another light dose of dark brown color (so it's not even a matter of using a conditioner... though the care card says it's fine to use conditioner). You really can't see any noticeable fading on the bag itself after conditioning.... but I was a little anxious to see so much color removal with such minimal provokation.
To those of you chocolate boho duffle owners out there, have you noticed any unusual fading at the corners or on other parts of the bag once you wear it for a bit? I'm not sure that it would be a deal breaker for me, but I like to know what to expect.
Frankly, with the casual, vintage vibe of the boho duffle, a little fading may not be a bad thing.
All the same. TIA!

After that, any love I had for Hailey just disappeared and now they have all gone on to happier homes now!
