I have a vintage Gucci bag with bamboo handles where the bamboo half circle has expanded and stretched the leather hoops.
I am trying to tie the bamboo up tight, hoping that it over time will get the right shape and not put tension on the leather hoops.
Dose any one have any experience with this? Am I doing the right thing?
And how long should i keep the bamboo tied up under tension before it stays the shape i tied it up?
I had the bamboo tied up for about the past 2 weeks, and just checked on them now, and they are still stretch the leather hoops when they are not tied up under tension.
