Scarfs wrapped on Speedy handles?

[JuiceBox]

I did a search so I apologise if there is a thread based on my question. I've heard of people wrapping scarfs on their speedy handles I was wondering if anyone had any photo's? Also, what kind of scarf do you use? (bandeau, scarf etc.) I might try it because I don't like my handles getting dirty so quickly.

TIA!

hmmm... Are you referring to the knitted "wraps" found online?

I don't recall seeing anyone wrap a scarf completely around handles... but there's a thread of scarfs decorating bags...

I heard its quite common with hermes bags... so no-one has photoS?

It's common to see a scarf tied around the base of one of the handles of a purse, but I've NEVER seen both handles WRAPPED up in any material.

I remember a member put some knitted covers over her speedy handles but that was about it. It's probably more a hermes thing. I've yet to see a post where someone here on the LV forum wrap a scarf or bandeau around their handles.

i do know what you are talking about.
i can't remember who it was.
maybe Mick. she was totally into sharing scarf info for a while. do a few different searches. i would say it was about, 6 months ago though.

if i find anything i will pm you.

and it was just that. wrapping a scarf around the vachetta handles so that your hand's own oils wouldn't prematurely darken the handles.

good luck!

Here's a pix of an hermes with it's handles wrapped in an H twilly. I would think a bandeau (a bordeaux mirage perhaps : ) wrapped on the handles of a Speedy 30 would look rather nice. anyone willing to take up the challenge?

Thanks for the pic! I would try an LV bandeau but I don't own one... Is it 2 twilly's used? Or just one?

Oops! Never mind....wrong pic!

Oops! Sorry, didn't understand at first that you meant WRAPPED as in ALL the way around the handles. Sorry!

hmmm... well not very common with LV bags...lol

I personally think it's kinda weird..... and I recall a thread about the knitted wraps and most people thought they were kinda odd too. I think the difference with LV bags is that many members here LIKE the patina on the vachetta, so they don't wrap up the handles... just a guess

no problem. I think it's 2 twilly's - one for each handle.

Hey, who are we to call it odd, to each her own...if you want to wrap your handles do it honey!! I think it looks cute. Make your LV bag stand out. I have a bandeau and I am going to try it.

ETA: I tried it real quick on my Speedy 40. I may try another way to tuck in the excess on the left side and just show the bow. But I think it's cute...
