I don't have a birkin yet. If I had one I would wear it with the flap tucked in and the straps closed .And when shopping I would leave the straps open.all the while having the cloche with lock dangling
Greentea, Do you carry the lock on the bag or off? I ask only because I made an "error" with Birkin I. I stored the bag with the lock hanging on the front and it made a slight indentation on the leather.
