Just wanted to update everyone on my 'fraying' neverfull handles... I brought it in to be reglazed.. got the call yesterday it was ready.. went today to pick it up today (took 7 weeks for it to come back)... and I GOT NEW HANDLES... not sure what happened.. and I know it is my handbag (date code)... but the handles were brand new (in plastic wrap and all). A happy ending to my story... let's hope these handles hold up better :s.
