Although I don't have it anymore, my Nelson had the same micro cracks to the white leather straps. Fairly soon after I got it actually (purchased new from Condor). I've always kept the leather nourished with leather dubbin wax, and never had any issues over the years. Fairly certain this is only cosmetic...

Fantastic. The straps that come loose are easily replaced (I had spares anyway), so will treat everything I can and hope for the best. Cheers.

tbh this is why I buy second hand carradice bags and not new ones, the leather is three times the thickness on some of the old ones and will never stretch and break

Also, this is the bag my brother gave me. Is there anything I can do to help sustain these straps/the bag in general? Bit of brooks proofide perhaps? Any ideas for the canvas, or need I not worry?
