I want to see the 4 sisters! Here, have a brownie too!
The Ali I purchased in whiskey was described as having some deep scratches but I rubbed them out (ew sounds like a scene from American Pie) and have since gotten a few of my own. I like how they add character to the bag. Its what make the legacy leather unique.
Surface scuffing is normal, deep gouges, obvious cuts into the leather would not be normal to me, obviously used and not new. Here I go again . . . I rub the scuffs off my brown (vintage) Ali with Appleguard. I don't mind the character/aging thing, but some scuffs look like they hurt!
Anyway, that's my story. Thanks for listening.
A great story! Glad you got her at such a good price. Can't wait to see pics.

The ones on mine weren't really deep. I don't think the seller realized that the scratches are common on this type of leather.
Congratulations! I have the Ali in Whiskey too and I love it! The leather does scratch kind of easily (at least mine seems to) but I just rub at the scratch with my fingers and it pretty much goes away. Gotta love that. Also, I got caught in the rain with mine, and it got a little wet, but the water droplets on the bag part disappeared when it dried. 
I did wipe it dry asap after it happened, but still, I was happy when they were gone.

I'll say it again, Lucky!
Great thread, I, too, love bag buying stories especially when they have such excellent endings.
handbag helen, you're funny
Jerry Maguire, American Pie.... Can you guess the movie character I'm thinking of as I say "Lucky!"?

I can't! The only thing coming to mind is the old britney spears song.
I meant to quote LIblue, and grabbed yours by mistake. I didn't mean to say your bag was deeply scratched. But a bag with deep gouges would not be normal. Surface scuffs/scratches is normal for vintage leather.
The marks on my Ali are purely surface-I already see them fading after rubbing them a bit. There was a gorgeous Legacy satchel in pond sitting on the table but it had a big scratch across the front that was almost a gash!
It made me sad to see that!
