How to keep handles from getting discolored?

[Pure-LA]

I am totally obsessing , because the handles on my Arena First Classic - Raisin are looking darker.
My first BBag is black, so it was never an issue.
Should I care, or is this just the nature of these bags?
Thanks for any feedback

it's really the nature of bbags to have the handles becoming warmed and darken over time. but using for handles only of lovinmybags.com helps slow down darkening due to dirt

i tried to wash of any hand lotion before i hold my bal bags
it can get the handle sticky and attract dirts
