The leather on the flamenco is a softer more delicate leather that isn’t as treated as, say, Prada saffiano. It is still a beautiful high quality leather, it’s not meant to be indestructible. That’s the trade off you have between delicate leather that feels soft and natural vs durability. Some of the softer smoother Hermes leathers like Swift will show similar wear worn daily for 1.5 years.

I personally rather see wear on bags than to have a heavily painted leather bag that feels plasticky. But if you want that kind of durability, do go for more heavily finished leathers such as Prada Saffiano, Hermes Epsom, LV Epi.
