- just a sidenote (maybe it has been discussed already): if you live in a stuffy (humid and warm) climate AND tend to store away your bags for prolonged periods, make sure that that the shoulder-strap (or any loose part with edge-coat) doesn't make contact with the bag itself, as the edge-coat has a tendency to rub off into the leather. Both I & my friend bought pre-owned bags from the same (humid) country, with this same issue (edge-coat streaks) - I was able to wipe it off with conditioner, but my friend had to send it in to H for a clean-up.
If your bag has a non-detachable strap, better you wrap it in acid-free tissue or cloth for storage.
Not related to clemence, but in general.
(P.S. it's not really a 'flaw', just nature's course)
Clemence is FINE in water. This really needs to not be perpetuated anymore. I have posted multiple times in other threads how my Evelyne survived a total soak with no time to dry off for hours.
Last week a GF whom I bought a Bleu Nuit Clemence Evie for fell into a pool (yes it was funny.....)...the Evie looks new.
It seems that any horror stories in this thread are general and not Clemence-related....weirdly they were never moved to the rain threads.
Somewhere someone did a bad cut-and-paste that said Clemence blisters in water and it just will not die. Honestly....these are handbags. If a drop of water ruins them they are not made for the modern world. That's why box, as much as I love it, is not for everyone. But please stop dissing Clemence!
It was a chlorinated pool, although no one was in there long! FWIW I don't recommend dunking any bags in pools!Glad the accident was funny and no one got hurt! Just curious, was it a chlorinated pool? I know Clemence can handle water, just wondering about the chemicals in the water....

I will echo what others have said: Clemence is tough. I've carried bags in rain and snow without any problems. This green bag looks like it may have been placed on some kind of uneven surface, which caused the indents. The stiff (?) matte parts are a mystery though.I was confident of clemence till i saw this ad on carousell. Someone has her bag ruined by water seeping through the bag. It really look totally damaged.

The seller told me it's water damage as her humidifier leak and seeped through the leather

Any leather left to soak in water will get ruined. Unless you are planning to store your clemence bag in a fish tank filled with water, to echo others, clemence is fine in snow and rain. Even if heavily rained on. Whoever said clemence blisters in rain was wrong.
