so what does everyone think of THESE?????

Ohh, I remember a thread on these a while back.

Not a fan, I mean, it's a clever idea to prevent patina but just looks so silly. Maybe if they were made of leather or something... this looks like you cut an old sweater apart and put them on your Speedy handles!
 
I personally love patina so I wouldn't use them however, to each his own and I know people who are out there who like the leather to stay as light as possible and am sure would find these usefull.

yeah I agree, I don't think the style fits the handbags at all really.
 
If this is used the handles will be lighter then the rest of the leather.

I would like the whole patina to process evenly.

Therefore, I wouldn't use it.
 
I think its a great concept.I wish there was an easier way to prevent he handles form getting darker than the other leather. Hands are always filthy even when we think they are clean. Nonetheless, I think these are kind of tacky.
