Oh use it!!! I haven't had any problems with mine still looks new, and when I got it it was very used, I could tell by the handles, but the leather was perfect!I've been too scared to use my paperwhite BW...maybe kiwi spray is the answer.

Not too bad... I think the basketweave handles are more porous and tend to be darker...as long as they're not black and sticky I'm happy!How are the handles on yours? Mine are just completely dark which is the other reason why I haven't used it yet.
I know, but I need to figure out how to clean the handles. I have a BBW MAB whose handles are very sticky. I was going to use it a couple of weeks ago, but I was so turned off by the sticky handles. I tried dawn soap, but it didn't work. My PWBBW has the same problem. Maybe I should wait until colder temps. It was in the high 80s when I was using the BBW MAB. The heat makes it worse.Oh use it!!!

I came up with this idea last night and couldn’t wait. This is normally a bookshelf in my office, so my bags are not actually displayed/stored like this, but I thought it would be great for a photo shoot. All but three bags were acquired this year. Oops! I suppose I am making up for lost time when I first fell in love with RM but was a broke grad student. Still hoping to someday find the ones I let go back then. Enjoy!
Gorgeous!! Is the orange one coral?

OK I have one bag and I don't remember which one it was, I think it was my dark brown MAM. It had mildly sticky handles but it bugged me. I used kiwi color shine in neutral on them and I couldn't feel any stickiness once it dried. It looks like this-I know, but I need to figure out how to clean the handles.

I used to find it only at Walmart but you can also get it on Amazon. I may have used 2 coats but I never needed to reapply.
I might have to try this on my two BW bags!!I had a bag that had sticky handles. I can't remember which bag it was

It does work! It puts a coating on them and they feel smooth not sticky. It does make them a bit shinier.I might have to try this on my two BW bags!!
I think it's the oils from people's hands if they use hand cream etc, over the years the more absorbant leathers tend to have this problem. I think it happens to some Bals too.you're a wizard
