Good to see you are thinking ahead. Today it is 30 degrees and crazy hot out! Bikini weather! In the dead of winter I still carry my birkin open, as I always do year round. I never close the flaps on my bag. I don’t take public transit so I don’t know if my opinion would change if I did.Polling to see what type of bags people wear in very snowy weather. I am wondering if I will actually use a GP in the dead of winter.

Bleu nuit (which is sort of silly since I have a blue nuit evelyne). I am more concerned about getting use out of it in winter or if I should put the money to something the closes and can handle snow.Don't worry... you can always tie a twilly or scarf to it that brings in some lighter summery colors. Which color GP did you wind up getting?
I have used my birkins over a decade through winter and never thought a second differently about it! Congratulations! I love bleu nuit. I too have a bleu nuit Evelyne. A BN GP is a great neutral that will go with so many different things. I don’t have a GP so I am not sure but isn’t there a snap closure at the top?Bleu nuit (which is sort of silly since I have a blue nuit evelyne).

Hi there! I tend to wear my black clemence Kelly. She handles snow and rain like a champ! I just dry her off when I get inside and have had no issues. She is definitely my rough and tumble bag. I have been caught in light snow and rain with my Picotin, but never full on blizzard. A Longchamp bag makes for a great water-resistant cover for H bags or serves as a great snowy day alternative.

Both noir and BN are lovely. I am just debating keeping the GP vs holding out for a k32 retourne (on my wishlist) which would close and could be worn crossbody but I worry it’s too formal for many situations on my life, especially those where I could wear a navy bag. I don’t want three navy bags. I am making this more complicated than it is.Lucky you! Blue Nuit is about as close to perfect a color as you can get. So dark and inky it looks wonderful with hunter green, burgundy, camel, gray, ivory, rust and even black— or any Fall or Winter color, and yet, fundamentally, it’s dark navy blue, the classic color for Spring and Summer that looks crisp with whites and reds, snappy with pinks, oranges, greens, and yellows. I debated on my last wish list between asking for a B in Noir or Blue Nuit. I love my Noir, but BN would have been more versatile.
