Yes, it's bleeds, but there's a easy solution
I hate when people do half effort reviews, I'm guilty of this too, but I'm going to go the extra mile this time to help folks get the information they need to make a decision on this bag.
First things first, does this bag bleed on your clothes? In my own personal experience, yes the bag bleeds, but there is a simple fix.
I am writing this after solving the problem.
First, what is causing the bag to bleed on your clothes? The reason the bag is bleeding on your clothes, it's because the leather isn't sealed.
The solution: go to the search bar right here on Amazon, copy and paste .... "Meguiar's G3800 Gold Class Leather Sealer Treatment. "
This should cost you about $12-13.
Once you get the leather sealer treatment, it's not rocket science, it literally takes 15 minutes to do the two step process. You literally spray the cleaner on in sections, and wipe it off. Once you're done with the cleaning spray, you go to step 2 which is a sealer (lotion like substance). Same thing, apply in small sections, then buff the sealer with the buffing pad they provided. Done
Let it dry. Repeat the process every 4 to 6 months.
Great bag, but for whatever reason Kenneth Cole decided not to seal the leather, for this reason only, I cannot give it 5 stars.
Lastly, I provided a picture of before and after, the one on the left is untreated, the one on the right is post treatment. I was still in the midst of buffing all the white stuff off, but you can clearly see the difference.
Hope this helps.
