^^I'm sorry to hear that. Interested to see your photos.

 

[pinknyanko]

i have attached photos comparing the handles to the mirror / bottom of the bag.

^^Do you have one of the whole bag - it would be easier to tell if it "Stand out" that way.

 

[pinknyanko]

whole bag pic is up...

i guess it is not TOO noticeable at first glance, though the top of the handles is clearly lighter upon closer inspection. the whole handle is a bit lighter, even down to where the GGH is, when compared to the top of the bag as well.

^^See, I don't think it's really noticeable at all!

I don't think its noticeable either. I've seen a lot of 08 Turqs like that as well, except theirs is faded entirely.

Yours is fine, a little conditioner will do her right up.

The mirror usually remains darker than the rest of the bag anyways (depending on if you store it away or what not).

okay thanks~

i am new to bbags so i just dont know what is 'normal' and what is not. =)

Blues have some fading issues, but it looks like a tiny bit of conditioner on the handles would warm it right up. But they of course, will also get darker with age and wear, so yeah.

Thats a great color for a first (of many firsts) bag!

I have a few bags that have handles that are lighter than the bags. But they seemed slightly drier. So I took the plunge and LMB-ed it rather than put the Just For Handles. Then the colours evened out.

^^ Thats what I would do (and have done) too.
