What "Not RM" bag are you using today?

[Shelby33]

Yeah I've had that too where someone said it was fair and it looked brand new, not even a scratch anywhere, and I wondered what fault they were seeing. And I'm picky!! Their standards must be I don't know what. Haha.

Maybe they are trying to cover themselves for any potential bad feedback from people who do that for things totally unrelated to the bag itself or find fault for fault's sake.

I think you're right. They said the HW had moderate scratches and I can't find one!

you never know...condition can be better or worse than described...but you said you did do some rehab?

Just cleaned and conditioned, decided not to do any color correction because after conditioning it just doesn't need it. Oh and I did stuff one floppy handle but the handles are not darkened at all.

I probably wouldn't want it to be as bright as the original purple but purple enough to see it's purple, not brown. so yes, I suppose I could try some shoe cream. @Shelby33 recommended a color for me to refresh by red prada wallet and it was perfect.

I only have this one now! I gave one away to our local "buy nothing" FB group, one to my mom, and one to my sister.

Yes, I did kind of a striped thingy, because it just looked so blah to me the way it was
