Question ???

Is choc darwin safe for use in the bad weather ?

I bought a loved Alana from a lovely ebayer the other week it is choc/ tan darwin . (main of bag is choc with tan edges and flaps on top).

Can i use in ther rain ? will it get rainspots ? also i dont know if it has ever been sprayed. shes in lovely condtion seller even sent me a bill of sale from mulberry at York.

Come on ladies i want to take this baby out and am looking for advice as due to all the rain we are having and one minute its lovely the next a down pour i dont want to end up with a spotty rain marked bag

I think choco darwin might get waterspots, maybe not as noticeable as on oak, but still... I would not dare to take it out in any bad weather before giving it a good spray or two of collonil.

Plenty of Colonill, but I think your tan edges and flaps could get obviously spotty.

 

[tireebabe]

Yes it is possible

I'd say spray it really well with Collonil and you should be fine. Choc Darwin is pretty good in the rain (just don't leave it in a puddle of water like I accidentially did my choc Effie ), and any water that does soak in doesn't really show up.

I would be a bit nervous about the tan edges though.

I would have thought that the risk lay with the tan bits not the chocolate parts of the bag.

I would say the same as the others - just spray it and maybe don't take it out in really hard rain. I've sprayed my Choc Roxy and I've used her in the rain this week and no spots.

I have been wondering the same thing myself, as since I got chocolate roxy it has rained almost constantly.

I took out choc A4 tote today and got drenched, i had no umbrella - bag looks totally fine no marks at all.
Choc Ant always comes out in the rain too and has no rain marks at all

I had the choco oak trimmed Emmy and she was my wet weather bag because she never suffered in the rain. No marks at all. Just give her a good spray.
