I have one Frye handbag. The color is slate, and there are a couple of scuff marks. Very slight and hardly noticeable. The marks don’t bother me, and I actually would like this bag to get that aged look.
Dillard’s has several Frye handbags on sale right now - most under the $300 mark. You might look at their website and see if anything catches your eye! When they have items on sale or clearance the prices are often better than what you find on the manufacturer’s website.
