I have been given this Messenger Bag and just want to comment briefly on the Abfärbeproblem. In my case I could ever recognize non-marking of the leather, even though I the dark version (!) Own pocket. Although it was a note with this is that one should rub the bag before use again thoroughly (wg. Oiled natural product, etc.) and for the time being should not wear bright clothing to the bag, but these instructions were absolutely not necessary to me! Perhaps this is subject to some variation, but this should anyone from them stop to shop.
