love the ostrich b's. how do you keep the handles pristine? :biggrin:
Thanks. HA, I don't! The Cognac Ostrich is starting to Patina and I'm ok with the color it will be taking on. The Parchemin.....let's just say I tried (and failed) to get the twilly tying down. For one thing, I haven't been satisfied with any of the colors so far (bought, then sold). I don't like white against the parchemin. Had some in my cart to buy but they are now OOS. Also, I'm not really a twilly girl (am trying to change that). Might just have to suck it up and plan to have handles replaced down the road. FYI I purchased that bag in 2015, and although I use it only infrequently it's holding up quite nicely.

Note: I did discover that a VERY light use of a magic eraser on the handles (or any other part of the bag) will easily remove staining. VERY light!

ah I see. magic eraser then. "very light" is noted. :D because I had this idea that ostrich handles darken at the slightest touch. and most of the ostrich H bags I've seen on the preloved market have very dark handles compared with the rest of the bag. so I thought they were inevitable.

your cognac ostrich is the one I prefer. very rich color:love:

Thank you. If/when that bag darkens I will embrace it. That one is from 2009? Was originally my mom’s but she didn’t carry it much

I use a white, soft, rubber artist's eraser on light leather, even untreated vachetta, to remove marks. Go slowly, use a light touch.

I agree with WingNut that if you have some real dirt to deal with, such as on vachetta handles, the Magic Eraser will work best....but use light as a feather, not like scrubbing the floor :facepalm: I know, sometimes when we are on a mission..... !!!
 
All the beautiful collections!!!!

My very small collection. Lol. I had a deep blue Evelyne 29, but gifted it to my niece for her 16th bday. Hopefully will add another one soon! Kelly 28 Epsom gold PHW, C18 rose extreme, and Evelyne tpm blue saphir. Aside from an Evelyne 29, would like to add a B30, K28 or K32 retourne, and a bolide 27 or Bolide 31
