Hello,
I pounced on this Celine in a thrift store --- I'm certain it's authentic from the interior tags and quality, and the bag body looks great but the handles have these awful discolored dark greenish brown spots as pictured at http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/4/1/2/4/6/4/webimg/531478712_o.jpg and http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/4/1/2/4/6/4/webimg/531478748_o.jpg.
Did a little web sleuthing and noticed that other vintage/used Celines with this particular patterned leather have the same issues.
Does anyone here know if it's possible to remove such deepset stains and what causes them?
Also, I think this is a vintage piece but am not 100% sure, if anyone could enlighten me I would be most grateful... here's a full photo:
