Dark denim lovers, what bags do you wear?

[SunkistSunkiss]

I wear a lot of darker-wash jeans, but there are some bags I just won't wear when I wear jeans because I'm so paranoid about color transfer. I usually wind up just choosing a cheaper bag (especially if I want a crossbody!) or being reaaaallllly careful with a nicer bag. Is there anyone who's got this figured out?

I feel exactly the same as you! I got a beautiful burberry Prorsum bag in light grey and it got colour transfer on its first day out! I was so upset and although the wet wipes helped removed most of it, you can still see some light stains in certain angles.
But I got a new trick, to hang a scarf on the handle....you know twilly is so in now..... so I choose a scarf big enough to serve as a barrier between my butt and bag. It works. Just make sure the scarf stays in place as you walk.... *stressed*. Or just get a darker bag.... haiz. ..... 😧

I always coat my bags with leather protector, so that if they do get colour transfer, they're much easier to clean.

I heard that someone applied leather protector/conditioner, and ends up with the bag smelling very strong or chemical.... can I ask if you experience this? I am very sensitive to smell and would hate fake plasticky chemical smell.

This is the kit I use https://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/Leather_Handbag_Care_Kit.php - the protection cream provides a barrier, so any water on the leather will just sit on the surface and wipes right off.

The cream is scented, but it isn't bad IMO, and fades away very quickly.

This is great!! Thanks so much. I'll keep a look out for this to see if I can get it in my area. (Unfortunately I dun live in UK). Thanks a bunch!

Choose black or navy bags to pair with dark jeans

Wash your denim a few times to get the dye out before wearing, this will lessen the discoloration if you wear a neutral or light colored bag.

I get denim transfer on my gold Birkin a lot, and I take it off at end of day with Lexol wipes. I think on finished leathers (not raw) you can remove the marks if they are not left long.
That said, I try to wear very dark bags with very dark denim that hasn't seen much washing.

With satchels that can get contact with dark denim.. i stick to dark colors, currently is a very thick, chewy navy pebbled leather... nothing is going to mark this one up.

Also i try to avoid jeans that say cautionary tales of transfer those i find are extreme and could transfer to other things beyond bags.
