Okay, i have question...
I love looking at purses on tPF and ebay (with no intentions of buying, I just looove to look)...
On speedies I see beautiful even patina, and its light honey colored, with no dirt specs or anything.
Well, my speedies are just a light colored tan and I switch them out monthly so they get good use allmost every single day.
I need to know if I am carrying the bags wrong, because my handles have like, little black specs all over the top of the handles and it looks nasty. I hardly ever carry the bags with my hands in fear of getting the leather dirty. Also, I dont use lotion on my hands before I touch my bags, and I was my hands religiously. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? I want my bags to have a nice even honey patina, but they are barely tanning!
Will these little dirty spots go away when the leather patinas, or is it just part of the patina process? I dont know what to do, because I am ashamed to carry the bags because of the dirty stuff. Someone with a lot of experience with speedies and patina please help me, because I cant find the answer to my question anywhere else.
