I purchased this new here and used it for about a year and a half. I tried not to touch the logo area much, and used it in a way that would prevent the letters from fading as much as possible. I also tried to use a separate coin purse as much as possible, so that the coin compartment wouldn't get dirty. The button on the inside looks a bit rusty, with a brownish color, but it's inside the coin compartment, so I don't think it's that noticeable. The leather has become quite familiar and has softened a bit. I would like to pass it on to someone who will take good care of it.
