I'm a little disappointed about my handles getting dirty though, how can I clean them before the Patina sets in???
Did you spray it (with Repellent of your choice) before you used it?

When i got my Speedy 25 with new leather i sprayed it with AG Rain & Dirt Repellent. After a couple of weeks I noticed dirt started to set in but didn't want to use AG Leather Cleaner as it'll darken the leather (and I want it to patina naturally). Anyways, I thought since i sprayed it maybe I can just use the AG Conditioner to clean it and did just that.
It cleaned it up and it's super soft b/c of the conditioning.

I used a old white shirt, placed a dab of the conditioner on the sleeve of the shirt and rubbed the handles as I would had it been Leather Cleaner. It worked for me.
HTH
 
That bag looks great on you! I'm thinking about getting a speedy 35 as my next bag. And seeing you with one makes me want to get one even more now! :biggrin: I want to get my PTI hot stamped
