Now that I am living in a rainy climate, my Togo B gets rained on a fair amount and remains flawless. I just wipe it down as soon as I can. I won't stop buying box, though, as I have yet to see permanent damage from a brief shower - cross fingers!
coffee accidentally spilled all over my graphite epsom bolide and no stain, no blister- perfect.
That would have been a fabulous answer but the bad one was rouge garrance and the better one is rose confetti. D'oh!
ETA: I'm starting to think it was just a bad batch. Maybe there was a treatment that just didn't get done or something?
Hold on, so the one that blistered is the darker one among the two right?
That actually supports the theory that the better quality leather is used for lighter color in this case. 
But to be honest, I would be surprised if the difference between the better and the "not better" leathers is so big.
My Clemence bag has lived through London showers and came out fine.
In fact, my swift bags have gotten wet, and once a cup of spilt coffee over my rose Jaipur bag and dried out fine with not a mark to indicate where the fateful accident occurred.

Barenia is the best for rain.... the best!
So true! Mine gets caught in the ring all the times, as in down pours, and it doesn’t leave a mark. Ever. It’s the best “rain” bag! I wish they wld make shoes in barenia
My clemence Bolide got soaked in a rain storm today! Even though others have said their clemence bags have been fine from the rain, this was the first time for me (and this bag!) and I was freaking out... I wiped it down when i got home, and it looks fine. I am anxious to see how it looks tomorrow morning after being dry all night.
Does Hermes sell rain jackets for their bags?
How does the clemence leather hold up in the rain?
Thank you

They come with a rain jacket when purchased new dear. I've honestly never used one. I find Togo and clemence to be incredibly water resistant but then again I live in the desert and rarely get rained on [emoji41][emoji295]️[emoji944][emoji299]
Thank you for your reply, its so much appreciated!
Does the Hermes rain jacket cover the handles of the bag too?
