I received one of my orders today and I was impressed with the shipping time. I ordered it on Wednesday and I already received it. This bag is 1000x more beautiful in real life than in all the photos I've seen BUT I'm absolutely heartbroken at the amount of scuffs and scratches on it so I'm not sure if I'll keep it.
Is this common ordering this type of leather online? I ordered the Ace satchel twice when it first came out and both bags were badly scratched and scuffed. I am in no way super picky but at this price point I'd like to have a scuff free bag. I can't get the scratches/scuffs to show well in photos since the bag is black but is this common in this type of leather? Is there any way to fix it?

I would try using some leather moisturizer on it (test a small spot). I feel like that usually does the trick for scuff removal on glovetanned leather. If they are "veiny" (sorry for the gross word) in appearance it is just the nature of the leather.
