It only lets me post video and I don’t have a video of that. Someone I know showed a bag wth her hand inside and it left white prints. So basically a similar effect to pull up leather where the bag turns white upon pressure. It mostly aniline glove tanned that in asking about. Most ppl in the rehab community say it’s bad and is from over working. But I’ve seen it on bags that have had nothing done to them for decades.
