It's not obvious at first place. Just the spot that consistently rub against my jeans were darker than the same spot on the other side. I cleaned it with lovin my bag delicate cleaner and got some ink off, didn't get everything off but you can't really see it unless you look at it very closely and compare both sides. So I decide to leave it and keep enjoy it. But it definitely make me think twice for buying light colour crossbody bags in the future. Otherwise I will just get light colour bags in Epi since epi is very hard to get colour transferred. It is a very beautiful bag and I got heaps of compliment when I carry it into LV stores since it's rare. The bag will not look that great when it's brand new, I stuff it with pillows and force the top to curve in as the shape displayed on website for few months before I start using it. Once that natural curve developed in the leather then it's looking great and I think it is one of those bags that ages beautifully so I love it.
