It's only a year old, from Kew, cost 80 quid which is a LOT for me but I think the leather is poor quality. It seems faded, "dehydrated", a few marks, rough... The different parts of the bag seem to be made from "different" grade leather, IYSWIM.
I can't afford a new bag, and I really did expect a leather bag to last a few years. But it does get daily use as a nappy bag. I am careful with it but of course it gets hauled all over and slung over the buggy handles.
I use Clarks leather conditioner on it every couple of weeks, but it still looks bad.
Can leather bags be re-dyed?
Was I naive to think a leather bag would have lasted? I could have got more wear from a cheap nylon bag for a fraction of the price!
