I absolutely love the texture of the pebbled leather on this burgundy mini bag. It feels substantial and soft, not stiff at all. But I'm always super paranoid about deep colors and gold hardware.

The leather grain might hide some dust, but I'm genuinely worried about the gold lock getting scratched or tarnished over time. I'm tempted to just use it hard and embrace the "lived-in" look, but I'm also scared of that first noticeable scratch. To those who have worn this kind of combo for months, how does the hardware hold up? Are you babying it, or just letting it get beat up like a true daily driver?
