congrats! this is such a beautiful color! I got one in mini, I love the rose gold hw, but I've never used any..anyone has experience in this hw? does the rose gold color fades terribly over time? it would be a shame if it does..

Okay posting these pics here to follow-up wear and tear of my bag. Sadly, it's now peeling off the spines on the back side. Anyone has remedy for this?

I have seen this type of wear while searching thru listings so I think that it is pretty common. I would make sure to keep the bag conditioned and would be tempted to lightly apply something like Zelikovitz Top Coat to the area that is damaged. I normally apply Zelikovitz to the edges of my Balenciagas to prevent wear. I wouldn't go crazy with it...just lightly apply to the damaged area...not the whole bag. It's clear but when applied it usually darkens the worn spots a tad (that's a good thing with a black bag) and helps to prevent it from getting worse. You can research this product a little more by using the "Search" at the top of the page.

We live in a very humid area (up in the mountains!lol) and I always end up with damaged faux leather jackets but so far nothing on my real leather ones. I've never heard of this product but have always used Apple leather cleaner and conditioner on my Wang and Bal bags instead. I have seen worse damage on Wangs online so I'm extra careful with these beauties though I know they're probably unavoidable at all :sad: But I think the conditioning helps a lot! x

Oh and I do hope they'll do something about this quality issues if there's anything they can do at all!

I have the same combo. I thought of selling her many times and even listed her. But chickened at the last minute and ended up keeping her :)

This is now my most used bag, unintended. Now I worry it gets too worn out and I'll
not be able to find the exact same color and style. It is a great medium bag and the wear and tear is not similar to the rockie. The leather is almost indestructible up to this point. :)
