https://community.qvc.com/t5/Shoes/Calling-all-Florentine-experts/m-p/270447#M8768 <P>Hi Ladies!</P> <P>I got my second florentine bag from QVC a couple of weeks ago, in the plum. It was brand new and wrapped up nicely. However, there were some scratches on the leather that don't want to rub out, and a few tiny tiny cracks on the handle part. I would return it for an exhange, but then I run the risk of them selling out of my color. I really do love the bag!</P> <P>Do any of you know any methods for conditioning or repairing the leather? I am sure this will get softer with time. I think I got spoiled with my first florentine because the leather was so amazing and perfect, not a mark on it. And when I do get one on it, they rub out. Just not with the plum color for some reason. Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice! <img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://community.qvc.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /></P> Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:39:33 GMT Brookeab 2012-11-20T18:39:33Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Shoes/Calling-all-Florentine-experts/m-p/270447#M8768 <P>Hi Ladies!</P> <P>I got my second florentine bag from QVC a couple of weeks ago, in the plum.
