=[ the handles on my papillon are nasty

[evolkatie]

I'm trying apple cleaner and its not making any difference.

My handles:

rest of the vachetta:

how much is it to get new straps/piping?

I think u can replace them. But then, it wont match the patina leather on the bag below ... ush:

Hmmm.... wish I could help you out... but I agree with fannaticsydney... If you do decide change the straps, the straps would be a lot lighter than the rest of the leather trimmings...

Good luck!

i think the replacement cost is around AU $150 depends on which bag and strap?

i had my nolita handle replaced as it was scratched badly after a year (dont ask me why, my ring!!!!!) in singapore, and it cost around SG $168 something and it took 30-60 days depends on the local craftmanship which lv depends on or using

You could always get the handles replaced and then try to speed up the patina process on them...
