Do any of you actually use the raincoats for these bags?? Just curious - I can't imagine putting a raincoat on my bag but I suppose if I had to be out in the rain - but no, I don't think I would bring my Hermes bag if I did - I don't know! I can't imagine it....anyone else?
Question about the 'raincoats'

I always keep one of the raincoats inside the zipper compartment of my bags. In fact, it has come in handy quite a few times and I was so glad that I had the raincoat with me because I surely don't want to let my baby get wet 
I have an hermes bag (cacahuete) in clemence leather and i use it in rain, snow, sun, wind, etc. it didn't come with a raincoat since it's half the cost of their mega-bags, but it's the same leather that a kelly or birkin can be made out of, and those always come with the covers, so i think it's more marketing than necessity - if a kelly "needed" the raincoat, so would mine, but i think hermes feels that a woman who carries such a beautiful bag would want to feel that they were offering her every possibly service/protection/indulgence, whereas my shoulder bag is a good deal more casual, so 
no raincover for me.
quick edit: some of the leathers are more fragile than clemence, so definitely i am not recommending that all the hermes bags would do fine in less than ideal weather. but i'm sure they still give a customer who buys a clemence birkin or kelly one of those raincovers, necessary or not.

I always put the raincoat inside my Kelly chevre just in case. You'll never know here as it might rain. However, when it's only drizzling, I don't put the raincoat ... but once it was raining and I used it.
My Paris-Bombay didn't come with a raincoat and it's epsom leather.
