Depends on the leather. Classic box calf is a very noble leather, but it does scratch. Proper care with Delvaux leather care products can reduce scratches to a lovely patina over time. However, if you will be carrying the bag to work using public transport or live in a rainy climate, box calf might not be a practical choice. Delvaux does make bags in other leathers. Have a look at their website, then talk to a SA for info about the Delvaux range of leathers.Those of you who have mini tempetes - do you find that it scratches easily and is delicate?
I'm considering one to use for work
