For canvas items, please expect some fading, just the nature of the material. With either material, please expect some scuffing, marks, or even some pen marks on the leather parts. Also, particularly in the case of canvas bags, there may be some dirt marks. If you know how to wash these backpacks, please let us know!!! Leather parts may show some scuffing or marks
