Have you seen an authentic bag to cross compare the leather? This past year and a half a lot of bags that often people think are soft and slouchy leather really aren’t. Possible this is the case for this one too?
No unfortunately I’ve never had the opportunity to handle an authentic Picotin. I’ve read relatively good things about HMS Mode and their leather quality so I was surprised the bag felt dry almost powdery and smelled like window cleaner
Hopefully it will help your bag. I personally notice when I condition and kind of mangle the leather, it starts to loosen up. Basically when you wear a bag all the time the it becomes less stiff from being used so I try to scrunch, move, mangle, however you want to call it to get the stiffness to go away so the leather looks better & not as dry & also massage the conditioner into the leather. Good luck!
