Thank you for the suggestion to use shoe polish, I got some from the dollar store and the bag looks brand new.

The first thing I used to do with a new leather object was to condition and polish it.

scuff: To scrape and roughen the surface of.

I guess when I got leather all of it was cheap because it all scuffed. There is texture under the smooth surface. I thought that is where suede came from.
I don't know how you'd avoid it. Scratch a pin over it. Everything I had would have scuffed.
