I recently bought a black pebbled leather shoulder strap with silver hardware on eBay from a seller in China. I had previously purchased a black leather belt from the same seller. The leather is high quality and the craftsmanship of the belt and strap were very good. You can choose your hardware color (gold, silver, or black) as well as your strap width. The seller is wannahappy2010. You can find the seller by doing an advanced seller search.
I see you have posted this same question on 3 different threads. Depending on how old the bag is, you can send it to MK for repair if it's still under the 1 yr warranty. Without a picture of the bag & the mark, it's hard to say. Is your bag leather or Saffiano? You may want to take it to a shoe/bag repair store & see if they can remove the spot. Or you can search the Handbag Care & Maintenance forum to see if anyone else has had this problem. Here's the link to that forum
it's a blush leather..
Hi, I posted these questions in the jet set tote clubhouse thread, but no one seems to be active there. I was thinking of getting my first Michael Kors bag, particularly the outlet version logo vanilla jet set tote, the one with the top zip. Just wondering if the leather handles do darken in time? More like patina?
Also, do you think it's prone to color transfer? Once I get the outlet logo version, I'm planning to buy the saffiano top zip tote next. Really looking forward to it.
Thanks cdtracing, I'm not 100% sure about it, but it seems that the light colored handles for this jet set is pre-treated. Not really a fan of patina like those in LVs, so was kinda relieved when I learned that it's pre-treated. Trying to search more answers here on the forum. It looks like I'll just get a darker color for the saffiano tote, but for the logo jet set, I really like the vanilla. Decisions, decisions.I don't own a jet set & I don't own any logo bags; it's a personal choice. Any leather will age with time & use, particularly handles. You can always treat leather handles to help minimize the darkening. As for color transfer, dye from dark clothes, especially black & dark blue from jeans & such can transfer to light bags. Sometimes, treating a bag with conditioner/stain repellant will help prevent that. Most of the logo bags are PVC treated bags & are easy to clean. Saffiano treated leather is also easy to wipe down & clean. Since this leather is already treated, I don't know if pre-treating it again would help. I only treat my soft leather bags & my exotic leathers. I don't treat my Saffiano bags but I do wipe them down with baby wipes after use & before I store the bag. I don't own light color bags because I don't want to risk color transfer.
And yes, I do plan to wipe them with baby wipes after using.
Happy Thanksgiving, have a wonderful weekend!
I would focus on narrowing it down to which style suits you and is functional for what you'd like to use the bag for. If that is not a concern, I'd choose the Ava - I'm not a fan of chain straps as seen on the last on or silver hardware.
