Help! How can I slow down my patina?

Look up bmwa5h on YouTube.
He bangs on about looking after his vachetta.

I love the patina'd honey color. I would love to keep mine like it is now, forever.

I don't like the pale look, at all.

I saw a lady Uptown today, and her handles were pretty much black. I pray mine never get that dark!!

This is off the patina topic, but I want a Melie or a Duomo Hobo as my next purchase. Can you guys tell of you have one or both of these bags? What are the pros and cons. The new Retiro is also nice, but it almost like purchasing another Speedy b 30.

I like it too, prefer it actually.

I prefer light Patina on Azur
