I have not seen a thread like this so I figured it might be helpful to someone debating whether or not to get Swift. I got my 35 Etoupe Swift Birkin bag in 2008, and it has been a workhorse bag ever since.
I am a big fan of Swift. It's like a marshmallow, it's smooshy. It goes through rain without problems. It does not show scratches. It's light.
Swift is not for someone who likes their Birkins structured. Mine cannot stand on its own.
So after 4 years it was time to get her spa'ed. Her corners were dirty and there was a nick in the leather on one side.
You can see the results. Perfect. Even the nick is barely noticeable. Others may have a different experience with Swift, but mine has been very very good.
