How did leather handles become so popular? You see them everywhere these day and have seen them for some time now.

They are easy DIY projects, and quite cheap too. That might be one of the reasons they have become so popular?

Most of them seen on picture on the internet in various blogs are done from the lightest kind of untreated leather. That kind that easily stain and get dirty and discolored.

Just imagine how they look after a time of use… There are no images of that out there. Discoloration won’t be even on the handles.

Do they really, honestly ADD some value to the furniture it gets attached to? Like this Malm chest of drawers from Ikea for instance, that without the leather handles has a nice and clean look. They don’t even fill any function here… You do not need them to open the drawers. They just hang there…

How often do they get perfect horizontal placement, I wonder. Or do they most of the time get placed slightly not lined up?
No. I don’t find them nice, useful or beautiful. They are ugly and will become uglier if used frequently. Placed in a kitchen on the kitchen cupboard doors or drawers they become even more unpractical. Just thinking of sticky fingers and kitchen fat…
Some people find them nice and run to copy this look. I just find them ugly and unpractical. But that’s me.
