Question for all the MG care experts here, I have been babying my new rosa calf bucket but still can't avoid scuffing the delicate corners (see pic). What's the best way or product for treating this? Or for protecting the calf leather in general? TIA!

The corner wear is kind of unavoidable, unfortunately. You could condition the bag with any of the suggested methods, but touching up the wear is a different story. I'd try to get a shoe cream color to touch it up. I have used Tarrago on my royal and red. I have not found anything for my rosa yet.

I mixed a tiny bit of red cream to white cream for my rosa. I put on the cream, then worked it in with a watered down version of the color.
It worked well!

I should take a pic of the corners once the color absorbed some more. It looks better IRL.

Thank you. I bought it new (on Ebay) but it had already began to darken when I purchased it, so it is really a beautiful color now and I've maybe been using it a month. My cammello/dolly took way longer to darken.

Hi
I'm trying to decide on which bucket bag should I buy, I want the CAMMELLO bucket bag but I have some questions first..
in my country I have to wear a black cape everyday (called abaya) so i'm afraid that by time it'll affect the color of the bag and slowly get darker.. so i want to ask the owners of the CAMMELLO bag.. how firm is the color??

The color should be fine on the veg tanned bags, it's only the calf colors that I would worry about.
