I got this bag almost three years ago and I’m so sad that the middle of the handles look like this. I don’t know what I did wrong. I even did Apple guard and tanning bed treated it when I got it. Makes me want to sell it but I always wanted this bag ☹️ Some of you have had them so long! Granted I did wear this daily but the picture doesn’t quite show how bad the very center is. I just want it all to look nice and honey.

I’m going to get a different bag that had a strap so maybe the hand handle is the issue.
Leather conditioners trap oil and dirt from you skin, so many use it but I wouldn't.
 
Hi all! I'm thinking of buying this pre loved speedy. Do you think I'd be able to clean up the handles or are they totally done for? Thanks :smile:
You'd get some of that darker hue off on the inside of the handles - condition the leather FIRST then use water baby wipes, leave for 24 hours then condition again. The rest of the patina is gorgeous. Leave it alone lol x
 
This is my 15 year old but new to me Batignolles Horizontal. For me, I adore the chestnut / amber vachetta but I seriously love looking at all your gorgeous pics - no two colours are identical and i love that personalisation that each person achieves, it’s all part of the story of each piece and very special
