The Baja bag I purchased from a few weeks ago is wonderful, I carry it pretty much anywhere I go.
It has received several admiring comments already and I am sure there will be many more to come! My bag is still very firm but I intend to use and care for it as I do my English made shoes, and look forward to it developing the kind of patina shown in your photo.
There is a photo of my (customised ) bag on Instagram (sartorial quest) which you can use if you wish.
Once again thankyou for preserving traditional skills and for my beautiful bag.
