what are the handles stitched with?

[bella sarafina]

yeah, yeah, that's a horrible sentence, but it gets the message across

i have a grenat day sitting in front of me, and i'm trying to figure out if a non-leather lace woven through the handle means the bag i bought is fake. my memory may be failing me, but i thought someone once said the handles are whipstitched with leather laces.

can an expert weigh in? thanks so much

NO, they're not leather laces. They're like some sort of a thick string. Hey, don't freak me out here! Does that mean all of my bbags are fake too?

There was misinformation floating around for a long time that the laces were some kind of leather or suede, but I don't think they ever have been. It's just some kind of woven string. Not very glamorous.

Doesn't sound very glamorous at all... :s

 

[seahorseinstripes]

yeah, they're def. not leather

 

[misspiggy]

OK I actually heaved a sigh of relief....
