Yeahhh girl spill the tea, it is important for us to know which brands to trust or not when spending our hard earned money! Thank you for the honesty and being so genuine !!!

[@clQss]

what's the tea girl? I missed it :(

[@dianemitchell1161]

No one , but NO ONE, vlogs as you do, Brittany. And that is why we love you so much. Warm, honest and so authentic that it really feels like a chat with a very close friend. Your content is always interesting and engaging, probably because it doesn’t have that ‘try hard’ feel to it. I love that you are willing to be vulnerable yet never cause your viewer to feel like a voyeur. Thank you for sharing your life and your talent with us.

[@BrittanyBathgate1]

When I initially uploaded this video, some of you may have viewed a teenyyy tiiiiny whistle-blowing comment I made about a beauty brand I recently worked with. My view still stands, but due to legal reasons, I privatised the video for a short time after and have now removed said clip - as a result, I've lost all of the previous comments (I'm hoping they'll come back eventually), but thank you for the support! ❤ Update: The comments are back! 🙌🏻

[@katieparrish6425]

Long, highly complimentary comment incoming: I can’t begin to describe what your content means to me. The thoughtfulness with which you approach your style and your life is simultaneously inspiring and relatable. Your content checks all the boxes; it is exactly what I’m looking for and what I enjoy watching. I am a slow consumer: of goods, content, media, books etc. Finding someone on the Internet whose life feels similarly paced is lovely. I also admire how you have a minimal aesthetic but still *own things* and enjoy bringing new clothes/books/ etc. into your life. I initially gravitated toward your content because of your fashion (I’m also very into neutrals, monochrome looks, basic pieces with impeccable details) but have come to feel like I found a kindred spirit! I distanced myself from social media during 2021 and into 2022 because it was really affecting my mental health, and I cannot imagine what is is like to have social media be so central to your job! Know that if you step away or need more distance for a bit, based on what I see in the comments every week, we’ll all be back when you return and at the level of engagement that is best for you! I also sincerely respect you describing not just the situation with the brand work that fell through, but who it was with. That level of transparency is good for everyone involved: the company, the creator, and the consumer! Thanks for everything, Brittany.

[@charlottedugmore3712]

Integrity is EVERYTHING

[@ilovementhol]

I can relate to feeling off, but Brittany-I came across your channel and subscribed immediately because you’re you! I always feel like I’m with a chic classy and yet warm friend when I put you on as I’m cooking ❤️

[@charliec2960]

I feel like perhaps because you're watching so much content, you're comparing what you think is your "less exciting" content to other influencers. But that stable, calm influence and that reliable content you deliver weekly IS actually why we love watching your vids. There are those of us who are also homebodies and like routine... and we don't need you to be anything more.

[@christianem1579]

Just thank you for being so open, transparent and full of integrity, Brittany. Have been enjoying your content so much lately, so thank you for you! 🖤

[@joannemorris1689]

Loving the vlog Brittany. Dont let go of your authenticity...that's why we enjoy your content. Social media is full of trash . You are not it. Great to catch up. Have a good week.

[@sheilap2621]

we are here for you Brittany, no matter the mood, content, season, etc. You are so relatable and real. I don't know if you know how important that is.

[@suminjang]

I’m not an online person but I can so relate to feeling disengaged and disconnected. Grateful for these chatty videos of yours - they are a source of comfort and joy:)

[@dongdong7673]

Unfortunately I’m not a runner, but it makes me smile to hear you talk about how good you feel when you run. Wishing you many good runs 💛

[@kevinpeterwilson5607]

Not exactly sure why but I really needed this vlog today. I don’t relate to many people in my real life but just taking 30 minute and listen to you speak and just talk about clothing, simple things etc. felt so much like just speaking to a friend that was so relatable and comforting. Thank you for this today

[@almabortolussi]

Hi!! I saw that in your garden you have some sort of "big grasses" (as you called them), and these are terrible for a lot of people that are dealing with pollen allergies. You should maybe try to check if this plant is harming you, when I was younger my dad had to take them out from our garden because of my allergies. Great video as always, and hi from South of France :)

[@rebeccahellwig5821]

Brittany, I‘ve just startet with the intro - please do not be so hard on yourself. You are my favourite creator and I follow quite a few. 😉 You are extremely self reflective and honest and authentic. Also you have a very specific, individual style and it is ALWAYS on spot (even while camping - believe it or not). A job where you are always presented and vulnerable to the public is so challenging. I admire and respect you and you believe so do all your followers. I have eczema too, by the way, also have had perioral dermatitis and it ebbed off and did not flare up since. So hopes up! ✊🏻 xxx from Germany *rebecca*

[@marinanaaaana]

I work in Influencer Marketing for a brand and number one thing we need to make sure to share with our content creators is the legal disclaimer if the content they produce has anything to do with us. Not only for moral reasons, but because of the legal ramifications of not complying with this. If a brand tells you to not disclose a partnership, run! 100% shady and not ok. Both the brand and the content creators can get in trouble.

[@arlinavanessa]

Even though we are on different continents and have different day to day lives, I always resonate so much with your content. I’ve had so much anxiety recently around my self image and what I’m putting out on social media as well but your vlogs bring a sense of peace that I think comes from remembering we’re not alone in our thoughts or struggles. Always grateful for whatever content you choose to share with us, whenever you choose to share it 🤍

[@leakarla3046]

Thank you for being so honest, Brittany ♥️ you are just wonderful!

[@edelbutler8027]

I can really relate to your intro. This has been the worst few months, I think it is a mix - finally coming out of the pandemic then the misery of the invasion of Ukraine just made me feel so powerless angry and sad. Also finally caught covid and have felt so ill. Really happy to be back watching your videos, I had detached from things I enjoy - really enjoyed it x

[@jessisoffline]

Thank you always for your honesty! Love the conversation you bring to the table ❤️

[@soniay7093]

Your honesty shines thru your content. I enjoy every video you make. Thank you for existing and also letting me know you exist.

[@HH-fl5iz]

Beginning with Hyukoh is an amazing start to this blog！A friend of mine also suffered from the same skin flare up around her eyes during a really stressful period, and it’s kind of a vicious cycle because of course you can’t help but feel self conscious and more stressed out. I also want to say that the disconnected feeling is super relatable in that when I’m stressed I sometimes don’t have the emotional capacity to consume the content that I usually do! For example, I‘lol have trouble reading or watching a long TV series because I don’t feel like I can be emotionally invested in that at the moment. The trick is to figure what I should power through which will make me feel better (like going on a run or seeing friends) and what I should go easier on and rest about. At any rate, take care of yourself, Brittany! I’m no professional, but from experience it sounds like you’re handling a stressful patch. Sending love ❤️

[@fashionmusings]

I can relate to going through good and bad days so it's always nice to hear others' experiences I'm sure it will help many following your channel, like myself 😌 glad you're feeling better 🌷 as always love the outfits 💖💖

[@EloiseMwahaha]

Great to hear your eyes are doing better!! Love the video where you ramble, like listening to an old pal update you on their life!

[@karineripari6691]

We love you Brittany, you are my absolute favorite, your vlogs are such a big source of inspiration and all of your content brings such joy and interest in my life.

[@BrittanyBathgate1]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@trinketslondon]

Gardening is definitely therapeutic! Another great vlog, Brittany 🤍

[@BrittanyBathgate1]

Thank you! 🤍

[@MsPipboo]

Hi Brittany, glad to know that you're loving the spring sunshine and the opportunity to potter in the garden. I've been spending my Easter holiday doing the same. One thing about your Eucalyptus - they suck water out of the ground very efficiently for meters around. That might explain the problem your nearby plants are having; too much competition.

[@tp5149]

Your vlogs are such a joy to watch Brittany - thank you for sharing them with us. I really identified with everything you said about needing time to process and consume and create content and culture, in this world where everything seems to be churned out and demanded at such a rapid pace. As a fellow gardener, I know what you mean about the satisfaction and pleasure of working on your garden. Hoping your eyes continue on this trajectory of getting better. Lots of love from the east coast of Australia x

[@d_moshkova]

I'm so happy to watch your vlogs! Thank you very much ♥️ You're wonderful!

[@Marta2355]

Hi Brittany! Thank you for the vlog and congrats on the garden progress! Every time I watch your videos, I am like 'please don't end, please don't end' XD

[@BrittanyBathgate1]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@user-te6lk8hu3r]

Cannot NOT say anything about the podcast! It made me laugh out loud when walking on the street because I couldn't help myself! And actually I discovered it during emotionally challenging times, so I started to listen to it in the morning to lift myself up even a little. And it did lift the spirits. And it makes you laugh a lot! Just 45 minutes of laughter. And it is crazy that these guys were even touring with it!

[@neenfdw8495]

Thanks for your videos, Brittany - they are wonderfully calming. I was also plagued with eye swelling/irritation/flaking that both came and went inexplicably. The only thing that helped in my case was 'Allergenics' cream from Holland and Barrett. Contains plant sterols as an alternative to harsher steroid cream which I was afraid was damaging my eye skin. May well not be suitable for you, but in case my unsolicited advice might be useful I thought I'd share! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

[@gmsk1]

thank you for sharing. I worked with a brand that pays Rosie but she never shares that it's an ad - so not surprising her own brand does this.

[@allykat100]

Now that you've told us your experiences of rose Inc, it just shows u to have integrity which means we can trust your opinion even more going forward, thank you for not enabling bad behaviour for the sake of a cheque

[@kritikalal5116]

Lovely, slow and a long one ☺️ I think the disconnect with social media consumption at the moment seems overwhelming cause for two years people embraced the slow pace of things (honestly I love it like that) but now everyone's returned to their regular life and for some of us who like a slow and structured routine find it too much to take in all the weddings, parties, loads to work, movies, etc. And I'd like to tell you that I always revisit your vlogs from mid 2020 to say mid 2021, I know some of those times were difficult but those vlogs do give me a lot of peace and appreciate just pottering around the house making the best of what we could at the time! xx

[@kimberlymerritt8675]

Gardening gives me so much joy too! I think we're all meant to get our hand in the dirt and plant!!

[@justin9552]

Brittany I beg of you to never forget what has made you so successful on social media... YOU. We follow YOU and consume the content you give us because it is YOU. I think social media has made us feel this need to be over the top in order to be worth someones time or engagement, but there are people in this space who's being is enough to captivate. From your book recs, outfits, and witty yet amusing banter YOU have remained a key source of entertainment for thousands. We appreciate your openness but above all we appreciate YOU.

[@highheelsinthewildernessby7402]

Thank you for your honesty, Brittany. We need to know that brands are doing that. I’m also feeling a bit meh about Instagram these days. So tired of people waving shoes, or tops, or earrings at me. I feel like yelling… just hold the darned shoes and stop waving them at me. Maybe the lingering cold temps are making me cranky. Ha.

[@sl9344]

Your honesty will keep us loyal! Thanks

[@marykatefitzpatrick7151]

Yes! You go girl! Please tell us when brands behave badly. We want to be conscious consumers. 😊

[@ChloePierre]

I feel you! Trying to work out why I’m not consuming or enjoying social media in the same way but I am enjoying YT so thanks for your post. I really resonated with it

[@emmy8526]

Kudos for whistleblowing. It shouldn’t just be influencers who participate in undeclared ad campaigns who bear consequences, but also any brand that incites it.

[@lulucantyouseesee8461]

You are so much better than you think you are. You are real, you have integrity and decency. The world needs people like you, always. Please remember that :)

[@Lyndseyde]

Funnily enough I feel the same about online content at the moment - apart from yours! Yours is the only channel I enjoy right now. I love your style, how genuine you are, the pace of your videos. You’re doing a great job xx

[@georgiac11]

Thriving off the tea! Good for you for sharing - so important for us to know!!!

[@gailsokol7832]

Age definitely comes into our feelings and to be honest its been a weird few years we are growing and changing all the time. Give yourself time and we are all still here wishing you all the best, and loving your content. And 9.49 beautiful.

[@taylahmclean1660]

Thank you for your transparency , and for being you

[@natashasoniasiahaan5529]

Your videos brought soooooo much joy

[@AnimalsNotIncluded]

I know exactly what you meant when you said you feel dissociated with social media. That’s also a reason I always watch your videos since I discovered your channel last year. You include all these beautiful clips and make things look lovely but you also just live a normal life and show the day to day things we all do which I hugely appreciate. There’s so many people I watch who I like but they just have this unrealistic way of showing life that makes you feel like you aren’t doing enough or your life is boring in comparison which I’m sure isn’t their intention.

[@playtheukulele4flores200]

Gosh understand you so much . I feel so disconnected also , sometimes I have those outside of body moment and feelings that what we are doing on social media is absolutely empty and how we present just the good . And how everyone is engaging on a cause a day in between content of breakfasts and shopping but it feels so pointless and ridiculous . But I’ve never felt that on your channel thought and I always enjoy your content, it feels genuine which is so rare and precious . Hope you feel better soon !

[@playtheukulele4flores200]

Wrote this comment before hearing the rose inc drama … thanks so much for sharing !! See when I tell you you are on of the only reliable ones ! 🥰

I really enjoy your blogs and you as an influencer. I find you therapeutic for me. I hope you feel better.

[@BrittanyBathgate1]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@TheCristianapcosta]

Thank YOU for sharing so much on this vlog! I really felt that part about social media, it's a fast pace that drains us. I thank you for sharing how you dealt with that brand, it's so good to get that insight. Lots of love! ❤

[@clQss]

I missed it :( what happened with what brand, I wanna know too :(

[@Lyndseyde]

Woodland plants are good for shady borders. I’ve got a north facing garden and periwinkles, lily of the valley, bluebells, rhododendron and clover are all very happy

[@tedore9636]

Your video on my birthday-day it´s more than just a beautiful present. Thank you! I see so much myself in you when I am watching and hearing you be quite harsh on yourself, I would say to you (as I would say to myself, which I should, more frequently), that you are doing more than fine. Things/work/situations can always be (done) better, but why we do not at least once in a while enjoy our results? Sending love.

[@kathrynbogdanovic5442]

Hi Brittany, geranium Rozanne might be good to fill that shady spot next to the eucalyptus in front of the little grass. It is very long flowering usually end of June to November, very hardy fuss free. A just plant and enjoy kind of plant. Love your gardening bits and the garden looks so lovely, will be nice to see again later in summer.

[@vickitollemache5000]

❤️ feeling all these white jeans/trousers

[@aiai-j7i]

I started gardening in my early twenties... as a volunteer with the Green Guerillas in NYC and in a community garden on the Lower East Side--it is not an uncool, "old people" thing to feel contentment in connecting with nature. At the beginning of your vlog, I thought, Oh so nice that even an influencer finds it all too much. I relate and lately feel utterly unsatisfied with TV shows and social media and entertainment in general and wish I had a house and garden or that I would be closer to nature. It always brings me back to what is true and significant and just fulfills me. You seem like a genuine person, which is reflected in your aversion to that brand insisting you being a shill. You are self-protective and should count your lucky stars you are because in the end, living in a disingenuous way just brings discord to your soul.

[@robincraig3129]

I LOVE the cropped jeans on you. I think they suit you. Also thanks for sharing the good, bad and yucky bits about the Rose Inc brand

[@enerelly]

9:49 breathtakingly beautiful scenery 🤍

[@jamieykao]

I know you dont think people are honestly interested in the condition of your eyes but I really really relate. Last year I had a sudden cause of eczema for months I couldn't keep under control and I had these painful welts all over my body. At the end it was also allergies and has gone away after a few doses of steroid cream. So I completely understand how alone one can feel when you feel like you can't rely on your body and the panic that sets in when you see that you're not healing. But I'm happy to hear that the rash has become more manageable and that you're feeling better, from one allergy sufferer to another, it'll all be over soon

[@julietbeiglari6001]

My sister and I love your content :) sending love from Australia

[@araahm]

I’m dealing with the same issues with my eyelids. Been happening to me since last July on and off. I totally understand your frustration, I never had eczema growing up so this is all new to me and I feel defeated sometimes. I finally saw an allergist recently and she prescribed me a non steroid cream called elidel. It’s been helping so far and I’m scheduling a t.r.u.e patch test soon to see if anything (chemicals in products/household cleaners/jewelry/clothing) is triggering contact dermatitis. Wish you the best 🙏🏾

[@Imbogurkus]

Totally know how you feel with the eye drama. Last year my eyes flared up exactly the same way- turns out it was my laundry detergent that was so hard to get rid of in clothes. People at work thought I was genuinely wearing pink eyeshadow 😫 not fun

[@martinasulkova2722]

Hi Brittany, love your videos as always! I was wondering if you know the Korean vlogger Cece Kim, your videos remind of of hers a bit. Can’t wait for more videos, you always inspire me!

Ferns or bracken work really well in shady garden spots as they prefer full shade

[@janeelliott6772]

I am an old person who loves gardening and despite being so old (65), I love your content and pleased to know that your are feeling more like your self. By the way, if I did the jet washing in white jeans I would look a holy mess unlike you do!

[@sarahgilders9752]

Oh Brittany, I so understand the issues with your eyes. I had issues with my eyes and I had an allergy. The game changer was that I went to Opticians instead of the GP for my diagnosis. Their treatment was amazing and they could see what was going on underneath the eyelid! Opticians have a NHS free minor injury clinic (Specsavers do it in my local area). They checked over my eyes and gave me a proper long term treatment plan to manage the issue as there were one or two things going on. Hope you manage to get it sorted xx

[@sydneerock-perring556]

Hey Brittany! I have watched this video SO many times!! I hope you see this, I am looking at purchasing a pair of white jeans and my options are the Arket straight leg or the barrel leg. Which one would you recommend? Thanks so much!!! You are the fashion queen 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@lanemoon5430]

I honestly think you're beautiful and I don't even notice your flaws, you are so real and beautiful in & out

[@velyvely6479]

the weather changes all! when i lived in Sydney it was hard to ever feel down because the sky was so blue! i was wondering about your eyes, i've known an old trick for years where people put vaseline in their nose to help stop the pollen going in , made me wonder if you did a light coat on your eyes if that would block some of the irritation and when you got in you could wipe it away...i hope you find some relief! I missed seeing the garden and always wondered about it when you lived in the other flat, more garden content please :D

[@mennacamel]

Hi Brittany, I had a very similar thing happen to me (specifically on cheeks and forehead). It started gradually and continued to get worse for the course of 3 months (when it reached its worse stage and caused an eyelid infection). The skin was red and itchy and felt like it was some sort of eczema. For my case it turned out to be an allergic reaction that I was having after my first dose of the covid vaccine. I was referred to an allergist and after having done some tests it turned out I was allergic to an ingredient in it. Anyways, it’s now been 8 months and my skin is much much better. With any sort of skin allergy, what all the doctors and specialist told me is that it takes time but will subside. I took antihistamine and a topical steroid back when it was at its worse. I’m now off antihistamine and my skin is better. What was key to my condition improving was not using anything for my face. Not applying any creams, moisturisers, spf or anything. Just cleansing with a very gentle cleanser and avoiding direct sunlight. Also note, it’s best to avoid topical steroids, they have really horrible side effects on the skin (they make the skin thin and more prone to inflammation and infection). I only used mine when it was at its worse and only for 3 days as prescribed. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

[@silvertrees]

I can relate to how you feel re Instagram. It is a very useful platform for me, as a professional visual artist, but I feel I am battling against it mentally much of the time. I started writing a weekly substack newsletter and am enjoying that pace…. Eyes: you are so right to take care and I hope the new treatment works out.

[@mariortiz8010]

I appreciator your honesty ! so sad they behaved that way. By the way what brand were the black sandals. Are those The Row? Much love.

My dad wrote a porno is hands down the BEST podcast ever. I’ve listened to it over and over and when I’m feeling flat, it lifts me up to no end. Jamie, James and Alice are comedy gold. All hail, Rocky Flintstone.

[@danishpastry6137]

Love your blog! So amazed that off the peg, standard jeans dont need taking up for us shorties! As someone who is allergic to birch pollen (and other tree pollens), I can sympathise! Mine's not too bad, I can keep it in check with over the counter antihistamines and eyedrops. I know that if you suffer really badly that you can get a kind of "vaccine" - I dont know a lot about it (I'm assuming you need to know the exact pollen you're allergic to), but I've heard possitive things - although it has to be given following a time table over a period of a few months, and each injection needs to be administered +/- a certain number of days, so you need to be commited. As for your raised bed that needs to be painted - I'm wondering if its made out of some sort of porous material, if so it may be difficult to stop the paint peeling - maybe a stain that soaks in would work?

[@victtayl]

More garden & gardening content, please!!

[@elizaleonardfit]

I’m feeling similar… consuming content (and being new to creating it too) has left me feeling a bit strange, like over consumption and what I value in terms of identity and material things… I’m still working through my feeling on it xxx

[@tochnitm]

Really worth seeing your vlog, so nice to follow how much the sun and warmth improve your mood. And I also love the Birkenstock Boston clogs that you see so often in the vlog. Do you even have 2 pairs of them? I also have the taupe ones, they are always ready at the door, the perfect shoes for going out for a moment or for shopping. For me they are my favorite transitional shoes, when it's still cold in the morning the toes are covered and when it's warm in the afternoon the heel is free. I prefer to wear them barefoot. I've had Birkenstock Boston clogs since school and I find it kind of funny that they're suddenly trendy. When comfort and fashion trend come together, you have the best of 2 worlds :) Do you also wear them outside (except in the garden, I mean)? For me personally, spring begins when I can leave my stockings in the drawer... Best regards 👣🌸🤗

[@celesteatchison6207]

I definitely feel the same way about social media at the moment. Reels are sensory overload for me and the tiktok influence has really shaped the pace of my Instagram feed. Very much considering taking a break.

[@giginacho6896]

Good on you for being honest!! Also at the start you said 4-5 weeks and I heard that as 45 weeks!! Hehe

[@specialbethx]

Ah Brittany - I’m so happy you have finally found a bit of an answer to your eye problems. You’re right - eye health is so important. And I hope the antihistamines really help. I didn’t see your original vlog, but thank you for pointing out something has been removed. I’m sad you had to do it for legal reasons - as a whistleblower you should be protected from all that. It took guts to say what you did and as consumers we thank you!

[@heathershand9083]

It seems like your eye issues began after you did the campaign with Mango in Barcelona. Maybe there was something in the air there that set things off? Fingers crossed for you that the new anti-histamine treatment works for you. Please don't feel bad about feeling not 100% with Insta and social media. You are being true to yourself and honest and that's quite rare on the internet, and it's one of the reasons I watch your vlogs. Wishing you well x

[@reshaddaniels__]

[@user-pi5qy2zk8o]

@@aiai-j7i this is news to me! 🤞 Last I checked, the US was not included as part of their international shipping list (it looks deceptive because it’s all in USD!)

[@amandalee280]

My mum had a very bad reaction around her eye areas when we visited Switzerland some years ago which led to lots of swelling and redness. She had hayfever too but it was worse than usual when we were travelling in Zurich. She took antihistamine as well as applied steroid cream, they worked a bit but swelling wouldn't go And when we returned home to UK her flare-out slowly disappeared. She saw a dermatologist and he did suggest it might have been a reaction to something in the air, likely pollen that might have been the trigger. Not suggesting it's the same as you have but things like this are quite frustrating and out of one's control.

[@nikkisilver3619]

That's shocking re: Rose Inc! Thanks for sharing :)

[@clQss]

I can relate with the off-feelings regarding social media. it can get too much sometimes.. also thank you for the linked items in the info box! love it :) could you also add the sizes of the items? I am thinking about getting the Arket Tshirt, but I haven't purchased anything from them before, so I'm unsure about their sizing. normally I am an S but I prefer the oversize look. should I get an S or rather size up? :D also, I like your boots in 15:20. could you tell us where they are from? thank you so much

Dear Brittany, maybe having fish oil supplement as well as petal/bud rose tea could help your eyes? (they are known for having good effect on eyes since ages..) It cannot be bad to try. Love your quiet and peaceful vlogs;-)

I've had a similar problem with my eyes- it was caused by wearing a new brand of suspicious contacts and my eyes have been itchy and inflamed for about two months now. Strangely enough, my doctor too doesn't really know what the problem seems to be, he has treated the bad contacts issue (or so he says) but the problems continue. I know you probably were sarcastic when you said your eye content was 'riveting' but I am a part of that small (I hope) minority who can say that in full influencer fashion, you have actually managed to be super relatable to me :)

This might not be either of your issues but there are some new studies out about Covid and the eyes -- basically replace eye makeup if you've had it recently

[@covidnose2020]

@@katiechasm That's interesting. I have stopped wearing eye makeup and contacts but it is possible that long covid, which I do suffer from, might be a contributing cause.

Brittany, how have you found your black Cos banana bag in regards to wear? I’ve got the same one and my experience has not been great - it has very strange imprints in the leather in form of droplets which can only be rain. I’ve no idea how this is possible as it’s leather but want to see if anyone else is having the same experience.

[@BrittanyBathgate1]

Oh no! :( that's a shame to hear. I haven't had any droplet marks on mine, but the leather is starting to crease more.
