Bal Experts, pls help!i'm a newbie, i exchanged my black for a new stock coz i found a black stain on one of the gold hardware i dont know if it's tarnish or what and they gave me this.Now, I noticed that the bag has lots of some kind of cracks..is this could be a flaw? or a good characteristic of Bal leather?it's not as soft to touch as the first one i got..i heard that each bag is different..please tell me honestly of what you think about the leather...TIA

It kind of just looks like a brand new bag to me, once it's broken in, it'll look and feel quite different, they ARE all different and we all have our preferences, i for instance love a super wrinkly leather.
I think it looks fine, give it a bashing to break it in !

I had a work bag in black and my leather looked just like yours! I got scared and exchanged it for a different color... but now I am sort of regretting it. It looks like you can condition the bag with LMB products or apple leather care and it should be fine.

thank you for your suggestions but with the photos i posted, how can u describe it, is it too veiny? wrinkly? is that a bad thing?
