Growing Old Gracefully is back! Yes, indeed, GOG will show you how our bags age so that you know what to expect when you buy one (or more!) of these beautiful leather goods. In this part of GOG we bring to you the camel 13” Laptop Case, the Peggy and the new Percy in camel and mink – all have been used by Mimi herself.
The 13” Laptop Case in camel has been used for about 9 months and has softened considerably with time, compared to the brand new case pictured below. The leather has taken on a lovely colour and you can expect the leather on your case to change gradually too, but rest assured it will look beautiful and this is meant to happen! The more you use the case the more character it gains (as with all our pieces)!
The Peggy in camel has been a part of Mimi’s life for over a year now and is still going strong. The leather starts changing almost immediately and will continue get even darker. You can also expect your bags to get more shiny with time. GORGEOUS!
Her Percy bag has been doing the rounds for 4 months, and is already catching up with Peggy. She uses this every weekend while outside, so it’s getting lots of daylight (even winter daylight can have the same effect as sunlight). As the camel changes colour, the straps also darken. The effect won’t be as drastic, but they do become a bit darker and a whole lot more shiny.
The mink Percy will not undergo such a drastic change in colour as the camel, but it will get considerably darker and a tad bit shinier with time. The photo has made it look a bit more brown than it is a real life, but its still a greyish brown in the flesh, and now comes with a patina like finish.
We love to hear back from our customers and read your bag stories, and would love to see how your bags have aged. So please email us your pictures and tell us your stories. x
