so I got my Glaser bag and will post pictures next week in detail
it's really, really beautiful and Myron convinced me not to try to antique it but to let it age on it's own (he showed me some of their older bags and I was struck by how beautiful they become with time)
this is a picture of the hide used to make it, which was naturally antiqued using vegetable dyes
according to Myron, it will get much darker (and more brown) with age, sort of like the way pale skin turns brown with the sun
(he may decide to offer this color as 'British Tan' in the future)
