Question about the 'raincoats'

I remember someone mentioning that they carry it in their bag "just in case".

 

They come with raincoats? I didnt even know. .that's cool, lol.

 

I just found it on smiley central and HAD to put it here! I swear - that's me (and all of us really!)

 

I always keep one of the raincoats inside the zipper compartment of my bags. In fact, it has come in handy quite a few times and I was so glad that I had the raincoat with me because I surely don't want to let my baby get wet

 

Addicted, that is SOOOOOO cute!!!!

 

I have an hermes bag (cacahuete) in clemence leather and i use it in rain, snow, sun, wind, etc. it didn't come with a raincoat since it's half the cost of their mega-bags, but it's the same leather that a kelly or birkin can be made out of, and those always come with the covers, so i think it's more marketing than necessity - if a kelly "needed" the raincoat, so would mine, but i think hermes feels that a woman who carries such a beautiful bag would want to feel that they were offering her every possibly service/protection/indulgence, whereas my shoulder bag is a good deal more casual, so no raincover for me.

quick edit: some of the leathers are more fragile than clemence, so definitely i am not recommending that all the hermes bags would do fine in less than ideal weather. but i'm sure they still give a customer who buys a clemence birkin or kelly one of those raincovers, necessary or not.

 

HermesAddiction, I do the same thing! During heavy rain, however, I stick to LV Damier!

 

I'm sorry my only reference to an Hermes bag is my one and only Kelly.

It came with a raincoat but I just make sure the weather is nice and sunny and dry when I carry it.

 

I don't mind a little light rain on my Togo Trim, but I also do what Lucy does and use LV Epi or Damier in heavy rain.

 

I've never used the raincoats, I've never even opened them to see what they look like... I use LV when it rains...

 

Well...the raincoats are cute...but that is when I break out my junkiest bag! I go casual. I need to worry more about my hair frizzing and not my bag!

 

I always put the raincoat inside my Kelly chevre just in case. You'll never know here as it might rain. However, when it's only drizzling, I don't put the raincoat ... but once it was raining and I used it.

My Paris-Bombay didn't come with a raincoat and it's epsom leather.
