I believe the Leather CPR or Apple Guard Conditioner or any other quality leather moistener is better long term for the leather. The leather Honey takes much longer to dry out from within the leather, so is nice for that immediate darkening effect. JMO..

In my haste to post I didn't examine this one very carefully. (Full disclosure, we had just gotten home after being away for a couple of weeks). Sadly after much examination (thanks to @fayden , @Conni618 and Corey @RealDealCollection ) she's not authentic and is going back to TRR.
I saw some anomalies, stuff I wouldn't let past me on the AT thread, but I guess I really wanted her to be authentic. But there were too many details that weren't right.
Please be cautious on TRR, my bet is they'll relist it.
arrrggh. So sorry this happened. 
One more warning that clicking open TRR, gives us about the same odds as a crap table in Las Vegas.

Which puts a damper on the excitement that comes with getting a new bag.arrrggh. So sorry this happened.

It's more like "I hope it's real/in as described condition/odor and stain free"
FINALLY got my much coveted Black Courier. It’s lambskin based on the mirror but the feel/distressing can compete with my other old school chevre. Been wanting a classic black after buying/rehoming the Courier in a couple of neutral colours.
Here’s the gang:
01 Le Dix
05 A Weekender
?? Courier
I have other black Bals but this set is my Always & Forever.

I was going back to this “rouge cherry” velo at FP so many times, and every time I liked it a LOT, even thought I do not go for gold hardware in Bal. Well, today came email (generic of course) from FP “you need this“ and I just clicked buy.
It is not easy for me to pay import tax and return the bag paying return on my own from Canada and then request tax return etc etc….but I felt something for this bag, and hope will not return it. Don’t know what kind of red it is, my dear Ceejay , my guiding light through Bal reds, was saying that rouge cherry had nothing to do with cerise, and this one is rouge cherry according to FP (they are all over the board with naming bags) ….so, hope it is great IRL
I also have Fendi nano baguette in barolo as a card case which I like to carry hanging on the bag soooooo fingers crossed

They absolutely will relist. I returned a blazer described as being trimmed in leather. When i got it, there was no leather anywhere on it, and the black parts that looked like leather in the photos were polyester fabric. There was also a tear in the stitching in the back. They refunded, but relisted still claiming “leather trim” and didn’t disclose the tear.
Fabulous black beauties! All incredible classics but your Weekender is killing me!
So incredibly gorgeous red! You inspired me to use my new to me “violet prune” velo silver hardware!
