Hi to all ostrich connoisseurs, I am seriously considering a light pink ostrich piece. My question is should the skin expect to patina evenly over time? Will the follicles appear even darker and stand out more contrasting to the background? I get that grease and sunlight are factors but I am asking in general terms.

So just to be clear, what you are saying is that it will or will not patina evenly with respect to the follicles? Not sure if you answered yes to the first or second question. Because right now the follicles are the same color evenly with the background.

but I slightly misunderstood what you meant
I am saying no
if you look through the examples shown in this thread
you will see that is the general case

Hi Bdbunny! Would like to ask how your Nata ostrich is holding up. I heard a lot about light colored ostrich turned darker or yellowing. Would you have any experience or advice? Thank you!Here are my ostrich bags. B25 noir with RGHW and mini Lindy nata with PHW. I love both! The B25 is prob my most used bag.

And here’s a C18 in nata ostrich that was offered to me but I passed on.

New addition to my ostrich collection - kelly to go in bubblegum pink 😊
It's more pink in person

these show why ostrich can be so covetable
I think these pale colours are really enhanced by the texture
I agree and dislike handles/straps wrapped for decoration; however I have recently come round to the idea when the function is to protect from natural hand oils or creams.
An alternative is to wear gloves. Perhaps it's looking back sixty years in fashion and style, but now you could consider it fashion-forward and be a trend-setter, or heaven forbid - an 'influencer' !
My one and only ostrich in Blue Mykonos.
This bag is haunting me and I can't get it out of my head
When I was a child, bubblegum pink chewing gums were in fashion. I suddenly recalled the mischievous joy of blowing a bubble with gum. Mabrouk. May your wifey use it on beautiful days, always with a smile.
