That's a really lovely bag and I like the colour. I don't have any of the Darleys in my collection, but I believe this model is in the small classic grain leather which is extremely durable and not susceptible to scratches etc. What I would advise you to do is to use some kind of leather gel on it which will help resist any kind of colour transfer from your clothes and keep the colour of the bag the same as when you received it. Enjoy!
