I have the regular size lady bag, a large bucket and a large tote. I have conditioned my tote and bucket but still have not treated the lady bag although I have used it for several weeks now. I have waterproofed the large bucket myself-it did not completely protect it and I don't wear it in downpours, and generally try to avoid the rain with all but my patent leather bags. I will take a picture of my lady bag and post them in a minute.

Is there a reason why you didn't condition your ladybag?

More like what colours don't I have, lol!! I have a lot of these bags and I am currently madly in love with the lady bag as my everyday bag. I do use the mini bucket on weekends. I only have one mini currently, in rosa, as I find the large bucket works better for me.

oh wow, that is the colour of the mini i want. i am about to return the large bucket in rosa as i felt it was getting dirty just sitting there and I don't know if as a large size it looks good in winter. i can't wait to see your photos. what can you fit into your mini? the mini mini was so cute but too small for a weekend bag. i need to fit at least a bottle of water, kindle, wallet, keys, and it wouldn't close securely enough with all that in it. at the moment in london there is a huge waiting list for all the minis.

How long have you used the veg tan for? I am wondering if it is as delicate as they say or if a bit of rain is ok, and daily use isnt too much.

I think not quite a year. Can't remember exactly. I did have to buy and return a few before I got one that wasn't damaged when I received it.

i decided to return my calf one as it looked like just sitting on my bed it was picking up marks.

Calf doesn't look like it would mark or scratch as much as the veg tanned but I'm not sure how it wears when used. This is part of my uncertainty.

I had the same problem, they seem to arrive marked/scratched with excessive veining. what sizes have you got and what colours?

I left the Rosa Calf on my bed today next to the Bucket in black/flamma so that when I got home I would have the initial look, hoping that will help me decide. In the light it looked like there were light marks on the calf. I also wonder how wearable Rosa would be now we are coming into Autumn/Winter.

I did return a Rosa calf to NAP because it arrived with marks, I thought they happened during production I'm not sure what every day use would look like. I am not a seasonal bag person though I know many are I often see people get certain colours for certain seasons. I just carry what I like when I like in what colour I like any time of the year. The only thing I check for is which leather to use if it's raining because some don't show marks.
