You are right, especially if harvest trees carefully , with renewal plan in mind. Plus veg tanned leather smells very pleasant. Oiled & waxed veg tanned leather can be very nice and soft, while non oiled veg tanned leather is stiffer, they are used for tooling, they can be conditioned after tooling, and will get softer with use.
I've seen this on authentic Willis bags too. Usually with rehabbing I can get it better but maybe not completely. I think the leather can get stretched out which would cause this to happen. When I carried one, I was pretty obsessive about making sure it stayed upright.Interesting. I only have my fake Willis and the dowel really bugs me because it’s heavy enough that it drags the top handle backwards. Then because it does that, when I access my phone in the back pocket, the dowel bumps my hand.Maybe coz the fake ones are made worse, I don’t know. Glad you like your Willis though.It really is a smart looking bag.
No! I’m so disappointed. I really wanted one. Hope you get it resolved.

I appreciate all the tutorial and material info you posted. You have me thinking!
Once I find out a way to seal the dye, I will pm you.
It really not difficult, and lots of tutorial vedios on YouTube too.
How do you like this style? I’ve n vet used a backpack/ purse. I really like these and trying to figure out if this style is one I should get or admire from afar..... like that ever works.....
I like it, but I may be biased because I’ve always liked backpacks, haha. It’s a good size for essentials, you can be hands-free and active and have the weight evenly distributed on both shoulders. I will say though, I gave one to my mom (who also likes backpacks) and on the shortest strap setting it fell too low for her to like it. She is 5’2”. I’m 5’6” and it hits at mid, almost lower back, on the shortest setting. I’ve also heard that for those who are shorter, the straps will fall off shoulders easily. That doesn’t happen to me. I’m not sure at what height or torso length those things would start to occur at, but just to be aware.
Im all good my friend....we are in the area but the tsunami warnings are for up the coast.
I was in the big earthquake in San Francisco in 1989. No one I knew was hurt.
I just ordered the lip gloss set from the Sephora collaboration. I was curious if anyone else from the forum had gotten anything from it yet. I didn't even realize it was a thing until I saw an ad on social media.
Here are some photos. When I saw the seller’s pics, it was only the outside. Then I got home and saw inside and the lack of front pocket was a giveaway. Then I saw the creed and it was full on fake
should have asked for more pics!
