I bought the bag new from Lost Worlds and I've had it about 15 years now. I believe it was one from the early production runs. I use it every weekday so it has seen use in all weather. It's been in thunderstorms, Australian summers etc.
I have recently replaced it since the main zip has an entire zip tape length torn off with significant cracking around the veg-tanned handles etc. It's tricky to find a skilled and reputable leather craftsperson here that could mend it.
Nevertheless, I am attached to the bag. It's served well and it's been a while. And yes, lost world's horsehide does accumulate patina, it just takes time. Here's the photos.
