This threads title, was suggested by the funniest man on the Hermes forum!
He always gets me laughing,and I love his quick wit and great sense of humour.
Thank you Castorny. You are a great asset to this forum.

I had just returned home after running errands and attending a meeting. I was starving and looking forward to relaxing and reading the bag full of magazines I had just purchased.

I had a slice of pizza, and a Campbell's "Soup at Hand" (Garden Tomato) on a plate in one hand, together with the bag of magazines. In my other hand was my Birkin, and a moulding catalogue.

The scaldingly hot cup of tomato soup, fell off of my plate and spilled all over my Birkin!
I dropped everything and ran to get a towel.
I wiped off my Birkin expecting a disaster, and was amazed to see that there was absolutely no damage!!!
I can't see the slightest trace of evidence that my Birkin had come in contact with anything liquid. This was extremely hot soup!!!!

I can't say enough good things about Evergraine. It is an amazing leather!
It has an iridescent, luminous glow. Scratches really do disappear when you rub your fingers over them.

I had to tell Castorny. He wants to hear anything about Evergraine, and this was one more reason to love it.
I was not in the greatest mood;but his reply,made me burst out laughing!
"Evergraine is mmm, mmm, good"!


Castorny, you brightened my day again!
Thank You Friend!:heart:

I am intrigued by evergraine for a birkin as well. How is it holding its shape? Is it smooshy?

(especially now that I know it is almost indestructible -- lucky you)

I am very lucky that my purse escaped without damage! I can't believe how lazy I was to trying to carry everything at once to save myself a trip downstairs!

Campbell's soup wasn't so mmm, mmm, good on my rug though. LOL

For anyone who may not get the title; it is from an old Campbell's Soup commercial.
"Campbell's Chicken Soup is mmm, mmm, Good"!

I don't have an evergrain birkin, but I have an evergrain kelly. it does hold its shape fairly well, but it is a bit smooshy in my opinion. I love it though. Very soft....but it scratches easily. The good news however is that scratches fade over time.

Castorny; I guess we are showing our age? Could it be Campbell's Soup is not as well known as we think?

Lulilu; Evergraine holds it's shape and is rather sturdy feeling. It feels very equestrian; somewhat like a bridle or halter leather. Mine isn't smooshy; but it scoops in at the front when empty.

Thanks Kallie and Encore. I'm sure you can imagine how much I enjoyed cleaning up tomato soup. I tried to save 30 seconds and it ended up costing me 30 minutes!

Hmmm....luvvvvvvv evergrain! so glad to hear that it survived hot mmm mmm soup!

my evergrain jige is getting seasoned as well. On scrutiny, i found the areas where I held the most, the grains disappeared & it became smooth leather & a bit more shine... a bit of box patina there.. woo hoo!!!

I am bumping up my own thread! I can't believe I didn't post the picture of the offending soup can?

The real reason I am bumping it up is because CastorNY is so funny!
