Discoloration of handles

[HAC]

Do you know what should I do if I noticed a slight discoloration in the handles of my Hermes HAC? I think this is because my hands are too acidic. Please help!

Maybe go to DOcride's thread and ask her? (In the reference section, under vintage leather questions) she is very knowledgeable and will get back to you soon. . . Also it helps to post a pic. GOod luck!

Another option is cover the handles w/twilly.

What kind of leather is your HAC?

I noticed the lightening of my Blue Thalassa Togo HAC's handle. I am beginning to see white parts of the handle. I think this is due to my acidic hands and my excessive cleaning. Please help.

Yikes! Do you have a craftsman/person at your local store? I would run over and ask.

When you say excessive cleaning, is that excessive cleaning of the handle or of your hands? I would definitely take your bag to H asap.

I think she means she washes her hands alot....I don't know. That is what I read.

What's up? Standing by...

Can I ask if gold swift handles will discolour? Thinking of which twillies I need.

Your Blue Thalassa's handles are turning White...?

I think it may be advisable to get a craftsman to look at it if this was truly the case..

Hand lotion is often a culprit in darkening handles.
