:shocked: Yes I went temporarily insane and it worked!!! O.K. you are not going to believe this! I actually made my 06' kind of veiny, sort of shiny leather, completely mat with no veins at all, :love: OMG, I seriously cant belive how it looks. You know how all of the SA's say with time and use they tend to loose that veiny shiny look, well I took it into my own hands, and yes, I twisted and turned the heck out of my ink city(first just a reall small area) and I am sooooooo freakin' impressed I did the entire bag like that!:roflmfao: I am sooooo going to post pics as soon as I can. You are not going to believe how it looks. Seriously just like the old leathers.:yes: :biggrin:

I sware that is exactly what I did nothing at all except a good massage! I forgot to add, I held it next to my apple city and the leather is EXACTLY the same! I still cant believe it!!

noooooooooo :cry:

you know, my friend bought a 05 choco city in like dec or something- and she was all complaining about how that one was even too shiny/veiny for her tastes.... i saw it last week- looks like an 04! i think we all like the vintage look to the leather and that takes a good bit of time to develop on the newer bags!

I conditioned mine on the weekend with a good massage and it looks like you described it. So I did the same with my cornflower and it's just sooo gourgious now: no veins, no shine anymore. I'm just waiting for my apple garde to arrive to do it again. It's incredible that it is true that they get much better with use.
