Patent Leather Handles Question

[NoKnockOffs]

I purchased the red/green heart boston with brown patent handles during the 09 summer sale. I have yet to carry it but I wanted to get feedback on those of you who have been carrying your Joy Bostons with patent handles. How have the handles held up? Any problems with peeling or cracking? I would like to pull mine out this summer but need to know if I have to be careful with lotions, hand sanitizer and all that stuff. Thanks in advance for feedback/suggestions.

I have the tattoo heart boston with red patent leather, so far it is holding up very well and in my country we have summer all year long , so far so good.

I have no problems whatsoever in 18 months with my Boston's patent handles.

I've had no problems with the patent leather handles of my tattoo bags (tote and Bostons).

I have this bag as well, and I haven't had any issues.

I also have the tattoo brown tote and it's fine too.

I have not had any problems with mine, and I purchased it last year in June 2009.

OK Thanks Ladies! I guess I will pull her out for the summer or maybe wait for fall.

I have had mine since December 2009 and it has held up

^PS. I own this same boston, the matching wristlet and other bostons and joy totes with patent leather handles and all are holding up quite well!
