Will a Longchamp Nylon Tote really protect my 35cm Kelly in the rain? Is it truly water resistant? I dont have an Hermes bag raincoat. What do you use to protect your bag in case of a sudden rainstorm? I'm not sure that my Kelly will fit in the le pliage large-- it only measures 13" wide, but my Kelly is about 14" wide.
How do you protect your Kelly in the rain?

Hi LeeClee, pardon my ignorance, Does your kelly not come with raincoat?
When i purchased my kelly 50, i was told it's too big for a raincoat and that it needed a "trench-coat". We all had a good laugh!

Depending on the leather, I don't use any protector.
Mine is ardenne, pretty much weather proof!
I just wipe it down when I arrive indoors.
LeeClee, what leather is your kelly !?!

I just bought a Kelly in box leather and I'm going to do my best never to use her when there is a possibility of rain. (wish me luck, it rains a lot here and we have rain showers that pop up quickly) My birkin is Togo, so I try to protect it, but I'm not really worried about that leather, you can just wipe it off quickly.
My Kelly is box calf leather and it is a sellier so it is quite sturdy. Do you think a little rain would be bad for that leather. I dont plan on standing out in a rainstorm lol. But just in case I get stuck.
I have a 28 bbk and I keep a small nylon bag folded inside the bag at all times. It's nothing special but it serves it's purpose which is to keep the bag dry & folds up quite nicely like a compact wallet. Also, it's great as a reusable shopping bag. Box and water should be avoided or water blisters will develop.
ETA: My niece made the bag as part of her Home Economics sewing project.

Just my luck, I was in the city yesterday and all day long it was gorgeous, my fiance and I go for dinner and it poured while we were inside! By the grace of God I wasnt outside with my Kelly for the downpour. How ironic is that? I'm going to have to get a nylon bag to keep with her just incase my luck runs out!
OH .. a little drizzle is ok .. but MUST wipe right away or it may blister per Claude.
