when after you have been using a purse and the handles patina but have like maybe some lead pokes/marks from a pencil or maybe a minor pen slash or maybe some water marks on the handles. my purse handles on my speedy have become a lil dirty? it doesnt bother me, because i look as it as a purse and you carry it with you hand and therefore it will become dirty.

how about you guys? are yall anal about keeping you handles clean or do you just use ur purse and it doesnt mind you that there are water marks or pen marks on it?

thanks :flowers:

OMG!!! If you saw the handles on all my LVs you would probably faint! They are kind of dirty looking. But it doesn't bother me. I know if will blend in with patina eventually.

No, dirty handles don't bother me at all, unless they are black dirty! I tend to keep my handles pretty clean, but they are bound to get dirty!

i try to be as careful as i can with my bags, especially the handheld ones like my trouville, speedy, manhattan pm and denim neo-speedy. but after a while i just resigned myself to the fact that i will never be able to keep them spotless, so now that i've shining monkeyed the hell out of them i'm hoping i can handle them less retardedly and prevent them from getting too dirty.

:D

i think as long as the handles don't turn that horrible blackish brown then it's ok

i also have (older) aunts whose bags have really clean handles but dirty piping/trim, which make the bags look funny, so sometimes i feel like asking them if they wear gloves when they carry their bags.

I try not to use lotion before I pick up my LV's with vachetta. If I do, I wipe my hands off before picking my bags up. I'm not as bad with my travel pieces as I am with my handbags b/c I don't the travel pieces are going to get dirty anyway.
