I used this bag for about 6 months. Natural patina is setting in. The front of the bag is a little darker than the back. You can always wipe it with a wet washcloth to speed up the patina. 2 straps, one cloth to use as a crossbody & one leather for a shoulder bag. Took pics of both sides, bottom & corners. One picture shows a tiny scratch, a pic of the back toward bottom of seam shows some darker markings. Inside the bag along both seams on the side are markings from reaching in to get things and stuff rubbing against it. Natural markings as the patina develops. Smoke free home.
