I have a question =]

hahahaha

What happens when water hits B-bag leather? Does it get all nasty, or is it easy to just wipe it with a dry cloth?


ALSO

Since B-bags are very smooshy, if I folded my B-bag would it cause alot of damage to it?
 
When you get water on the bag, it shows up on the bag, but it dries away with no marks. I carried mine in Seattle every day (lots of rain), and the bag doesn't have any "water marks". That's been my experience anyway.

I think some girls have had creasing when they fold their b-bags a certain way, but it hasn't happened to me personally (and I hope it doesn't anytime soon)!

Hope this helped a bit!

I've been wondering the same thing too. Pippop, it's good to know that it's okay to take my bag out in the rain. I too live in the rainy Northwest and have been dreading the upcoming wet seasons. Now I'll be using my bag more! Thanks.:P
 
I haven't had any problems - an unexpected huge storm came one day and I had parked my car outsie, and had to walk around 10 mins to the car... I covered as much of the bag as I could, but the parts that got wet were fine and it didn't soak through. No stiffness or marks when it dried.
 
I use my black city in all weather. I live in the mountains by school - so it snows ALOT, and rains etc. I've carried my bag through 0 degree weather and blizzards. It looks like new.

Also, being the bags are really smushy and moldable, nothing would happen if you folded it. I've had mine scrunched into a suitcase before.
 
Some colors do get water marks that are permanent. I didn't realize this before I bought an '06 lilac compangnon off ebay and didn't notice the spots in the picture because I didn't think it could happen. Doh! They may come out with professional care...we'll see.
 
i got stuck in the rain yesterday wth my f/w 06 rouge vif work bag! almost died when i saw the rain coming down and i couldnt run home but no damage was done...it looks the same...maybe less shiny but it might be me being paranoid...no water stains though...can these bags be waterproofed? i actually like the shinyness of the new bags...(weird :P ) is there anyway to preserve it?
 
^^^rebeoliva- I was stuck in that downpour yeaterday too and was carrying my rouge vif bowling! Nothing happened to it. I am thinking of spraying the bag with AG- just so it protects the handles from getting dirty.
