Oh the second try got much better. Sent the wrong picture.
Ok, it’s not a handbag, but a Twilly as well.
New to me Iris B35. I already owned the twilly. As others have said, this is a chameleon color, rich and pretty inside and brightens in the sun.
I think the Doll Twilly can be used on a B25 if you were just concerned about protecting where your fingers touched the handles...here's mine with a quick test job. It's kinda cute, but I'm not entirely convinced (sorry the pic is so dark):
I've been practicing, but struggling to wrap my handles as beautifully as many of you! In my efforts, I did however manage to do a pretty decent job at a horrendously difficult way to wrap them...I braided the Twilly around the handle from one side 
but it turned out well and I like it! It's kind of hard to tell how it's woven, so I've also attached a pic of my practice run on a cable with some H ribbon which makes it more clear 
It may have been done here or elsewhere before, but I haven't seen it...probably for good reason, it's tedious. I folded the Twilly in half along it's entire length for the entire wrap, which wasn't easy to maintain as I was wrapping. It does make for a very even and clean wrap though. This is on my b25 in Barenia Faubourg...not really into the wrapped handles for my own aesthetic (I appreciate it on others though!), but it's Barenia...so...

Then I did the back handle in the "traditional" style just wrapped around for a comparison. I really love this woven way...harder, but it stays put so well and looks super refined!
Still trying to get the hang of tying the Twilly. This time it stayed on all day, which is a big accomplishment for me!
Can’t overstate how much I love the new Doll Twilly format for my mini Kelly’s handles! A perfect bit of color without the bulk of the full size Twilly.
My skill for Twilly and handles is quite poor
Here's how I tie a twilly on my Kelly pochette!
Carry by handle or by Twilly is more convenient? Any pro/ con to share?
