was hoping to get a consensus on whether vernis bags can be harmed by rain. i think i have read that they can, but not sure how concerned to be. hoping those who have experience with this can chime in. thanks in advance : )

thank you for the reply. the bag in question has no vachetta so nothing to worry about there. i don't know where i read that rain is a problem but i am really glad to hear that it isn't. thanks again : )

thank you : ) as mentioned above, i cannot recall where i read that it would be a problem but now i won't be afraid to carry it in the rain. great news : )
Whatever you read may well have been about the vachetta parts on bags but that applies to all vachetta, not just that found on vernis bags.
thanks for the reply : ) vachetta i know, but vernis not so much, lol. i only have one vernis bag. as i recall there was discussion here about water leaving spots or etching on the vernis, but it has been so long i don't recall the exact thread. i will do a search at some point to look. i would have espected vernis to be impermeable and resistant to water, but this nagging little concern had me wondering. thanks for setting me straight so now i can carry the bag without stressing if it is raining : )
I own the Alma bb in Epi Electric and a Vernis key holder . Both of these items have gotten wet . No issues what so ever . I just wiped them off with a napkin or cloth at the time . I think Vernis is very durable when it comes to water . Vachetta , not so much
.so as a follow up, if you had to go out in pouring rain, would you choose vernis over epi? could epi also stand up to pouring rain? thanks everyone : )
