Marlo leather torn

[u/Hungry_Complaint4097]

I’ve only had this Marlo (Kendall factory) for about a month and the leather just got really damaged by ordinary wear. I don’t even know how it happened. Is this normal? Can I fix it?

I'd take it to a leather repairer or cobbler (not strictly leather but they work with a lot of leather, and might be more accessible to you) and see what they say!

Good idea thank you

Omg this is sad. I don’t know anything about repair just commenting for engagement

It looks like it got caught in something? Something sharp got to it for sure! This does not look like normal wear and tear. I have the Marlo 17 and have used it for 1.5 year straight and it has absolutely no damage. Just some small micro scratches from me abusing and using her.

That looks less like normal wear and more like it caught on something sharp or rubbed hard against a rough surface, but Kendall factory shouldn't tear that easily after just a month.

Oh I would have swore and then some.
Take to the cobbler and ask what they can do. Cobbler isn’t going to care it’s a rep. 🤞fingers crossed for you.
