Anybody has color transfer issue from jeans for their swift bags? I just realised a little blue on the side of my capucine bag and my heart stopped a little lol.

Is there anyway to remove it other than baby wipes? I'm definitely gonna be more careful with it from now on [emoji23]

Don't use baby wipes on any of your H bags. You can research on Docride's thread here: http://forum.purseblog.com/hermes-r...g-nightmares-and-hermes-leather-917933-6.html or post a question for her on how to clean swift leather. Sometimes it can be as straighforward as using a clear shoe polish but I'd suggest checking with docride first. She has saved my bags several times. G'luck!

I think these bags are really cute. However, I do want to post my own review of the bag that I have. It is size 20 in evercolor, feu. While the color is great, and the bag is attractive. I feel that it is not holding up as I would have expected. I think the evercolor leather is somewhat unstructured over time and I prefer a leather that holds its shape. Additionally, the corners have gotten wear in that the color has rubbed off. Lastly, where the "batwings" are, the resin has chipped off. I have the bag for about a year and a half, and I have used it a bit, but certainly not daily. I would say I used it a season or two and probably less than 50 days total.
Are the bags really only supposed to be museum pieces and handled with gloves all the time?
For such an expensive purchase I would have expected better. I bought directly from the boutique, so this is definitely an authentic bag.

How have you found your bags over time?

Hi. Mine is a swift 26 black and its doing fine . I have been using it for a year and a half now, though not everyday, and I use my bags normally, I don't really baby them. I am sorry to hear you are having trouble.

Mine is an evercolour bleu de Galice TB 26, and you are right about this bag. The corners have rubbed off, and the leather is not structured. I have not experienced the resin chipping off yet. But all in all, i love this bag, i use it when i travel and i already accept that one day it needs to go to a "spa".[emoji6]
