Can any owners of the original vegetable tanned leather bags tell me if the squeakiness/stiffness of the bag will go away, and if so how much wear it took? The stiffness doesn't bother me too much but the squeaking is awful!

Also, does anyone know if the cammello/brandy colors scratch much more easily than the black, or is it just more noticeable?

I've carried my mini mini for about 8-10 times since I got it and it is still squeaking. It seems slightly less obvious now, but I'm not sure if it's because I've gotten used to it!

I totally forgot that mine squeaked when I first got it! It was so obvious at the time, but within 2 weeks I think it faded enough that it wasn't noticeable. Now it makes no noise at all :smile1:

I've worn my camello/rosa quite a lot, every other weekend or so for the first few months of this year, then 2-3x a week for the last month. Squeaking is still present but not as much as it was when I got it. I compared it to my black/flamma which I've only taken out once and the black/flamma one is loud 😳 I purposely close and open my bucket so it makes the squeaking sound in hopes that I'm kind of getting rid of it... If that makes any sense 😅 also I think the scratching is more noticeable on camello and Brandy, more so the Brandy.

So my MO order arrived! I was so excited as soon as I saw my DHL notification went off...

...but I came home to a bag that was smaller than I expected. I bought a mini canvas in creme but I swear what came was a mini mini. What do you think guys?

I would double check the measurements! But there actually is a big difference between large and mini.

My reg bucket bag in saffiano leather black/flamma. I'm 1.62m and it fits better than I thought. Also the detachable wallet is a really decent size and fits my iPhone and headphones well. :)
