I have the black/silver specchio Hamilton and the pearl grey/silver specchio Hamilton. Had them for years, use them often and they are just as new. No flaking/discolorisation/marks what so ever. I store them in dustbags, remove spots and take care of them. Do this and you will have gorgeous bags for years. So relax and enjoy your bag, the specchio in any variaty is stunning. And by the way...Sutton and Hamilton are discontinued. A specchio will soon become a collecters item...
