This is the Undyed Leather Project Binder after 2 weeks.
- This week it was taken out of my bag an average of 12 times a day and it was rained on three times.
- Water makes horrific brown smears across the leather but as soon as it dries you cannot see a thing. Not a mark!
- It has some scuffs on it now but once the binder gets a bit darker I don’t think they will show
- The flyleaf has some dark marks now from the credit card pockets
- The clasp flap has an outline around it which may disappear when wiped with a damp cloth.
- I have put the sample piece of leather next to the flyleaf and on the binder in photos below, for comparison purposes.
I am so happy with the way this is ageing. Quickly but with great dignity. It is going to be gorgeous once it has patina.
yep sounds like it’ll be gorgeous in a few weeks.
the gorgeous patina is something to look forward to ! I love this so much!
I love the slight patina it is getting after two weeks. I think it will become a gorgeous binder.
I am really eager to be able to get one myself.
Please, Janet, keep us posted and feed us with lots of pics of this beauty!
It really is looking gorgeous Nathalie. In a few months this binder is going to be glowing with patina!
