would the oxidizing process ruin the bag?

It's a process that takes time, I have one that I got for my bday last year, and it still looks brand new, and my mom has one from the early 90's(i think) and it's brown leather as opposed to my tan leather that looks new. I also prefer the oxidixed look, but it's weathering of the leather and only time and usage can do it. Hope this helps! Smile

I left my Vuitton Alma bag at the pool. Now it's got that nice old leather look, but it's also got these dark circles all around the bottom leather patch! Such a shame.
I'd like to take it back to Vuitton, so they can clean it, but I'm afraid the leather will go nude again somehow?
