This is a beautiful messenger bag (I ordered the oil tan), but the oil/dye from the leather rubs off very easily.  When I opened the packaging, I noticed the oil had stained the cardboard insert under the flap.  I then lightly rubbed a white napkin over the outside of the bag and the color came right off very easily.  The tag that is attached to the bag actually says something to the effect of "do not wear with light colored clothing".  I shipped it back the same day I received it and received my refund within 3-4 days.  I believe that Visconti should find a way to correct this defect to their otherwise great messenger bags.
