Inexpensive twillies for new white bag

[A bottle of Red]

Now that I have a nice clean white top handle bag I'm wondering if I should use twillies to protect the handles especially since I tend to get sweaty.
If yes, do the twillies need to be totally white to avoid color transfer?
Where do you recommend I look for inexpensive twillies ( if on Amazon any particular seller)?
Don't think I want super slippery but something pretty and durable and easy to wash.
Thanks

You could buy some wide white petersham, wild silk or grosgrain ribbon from a haberdashery. Those won't be slippery, reasonably priced and should stay put.

You will probably find it easier to find off-white/cream/oyster etc, just because lots are used for wedding and confirmation dresses. Defiantly worth looking in wedding attire places too.

That is so smart! Edit I just realized we have a craft store here, they will likely have ribbon ( though it will likely be polyester, I hope that will be ok)

I just want to say, for an easier way/hack, wear white lace gloves in the summer and white leather ones when it turns cooler. I do this sometimes carrying H when I can't deal with twillies.

I would try to find silk or even recycled silk if you want to keep the price down.These should be available at craft/fabric store(Because polyester isn’t breathable)

No silk ribbon available locally unfortunately.

I’ve found nice silk twillies at Coach Outlet in the $50 range, or even cheaper on Etsy. NanaStore2018 has many colors and patterns in the $8-15 range called “silk ribbon straps”….I don’t know if they are real silk. But I’ve ordered several replacement bag straps from this store and always had positive experiences.
