Vintage Custom Handles?

I think (and It's subject to correction by Paul) that he means the curve should be at the top of the handle. The picture, while a very cool set, looks like the orientation limits the functionality or at least the range of travel for the handles. With the curve at the top you'd have the full play of the handle to work with.

some of the best tricksters in France/Europe have used the handles in (from our perspective) the wrong orientation.  The curved part is down at the bottom and is facing the kite.

Believe me, they're doing things we can only dream of,.... throwing the kite rolled up and unrolling it in flight is cool, but "catch it" back rolled up again (no way) is something I've only seen from "Crazy Drivers" in Dieppe Canada!

Not saying upside down handles are better or worse, only that it will come out in your own experimentations to determine appropriateness.
