I don’t have this bag, but a few others in the glovetanned leather, and it’s AMAZING leather. Thick yet soft to the touch, durable. Can be prone to scratches so I’m just careful with my nails/keys, etc, but it’s still tougher than some other smooth leathers where every little knick shows. Also, can absorb oils and I don’t let wetness, like raindrops, absorb into the leather because it could leave spots. But some protectant would lessen that risk and make any color transfer easy to clean. Both my bags are virtually spotless after a couple years and I don’t baby them! One of my bags is the chalk color and it hasn’t had any issues with color transfer at all.
All that said, I haven’t actually seen the swinger irl so don’t know for certain it’s the same glovetanned leather. The vegetable-tanned version might react a bit different too.
thank you so much for this! Will definitely get this. Now, all I have to do is find one.
