I got a new Liebeskind bag about a week ago and I *love* it - I have been using it as my everyday bag for the past few days. I got home today and was distressed to find what seems to be a little scuff or ding in the corner:
It almost looks like the top layer of the leather has somehow been scraped or ripped off. I have gotten marks like this on almost all leather bags I have owned, at least soft and/or colored leather bags - I have a Kate Spade bag in the closet where the entire underside of the handle has the "pink" rubbed or peeled off. When I google what to do about scuffs or scratches on leather, I mostly see advice to use oil or leather conditioner to buff it out, but that never seems to work on this type of mark. Alternatively, I've seen a lot of threads that say that if leather appears to be peeling, it's probably not real leather. I don't think that's the case here either - all the bags I've had this problem with have been purchased directly from reputable manufacturers.
Am I seriously the only person in the world having this problem? Is there something I can do to prevent it (or repair it), or is this just the reality of using a leather bag? Do other people just not find these types of marks unsightly? It really bums me out, so hopefully someone can help give me some advice.
