The Cargo Birkin
Hermès' new limited edition 'Cargo Birkin' makes us wistful for traveling in style. The Cargo is today’s perfect travel companion, in that it is both practical and elegant. In the classic 35cm size, this bag is primarily made of Toile Canvas, making it lightweight and durable — and accented with...

Paris weather is to me, exactly the same as in London. It's really rains and many owners have said their blistered Box just reverted to normal state after it dried out. I have never gotten my Box bags that wet but I wouldn't hesitate to buy more. (I currently temporarily reside in a literal humid rainforest). Rain probably helps the patina develop and gives you that worn in look you want. Therefore. My unpopular opinion is that Box is no way as delicate as people think and you should just Go For It!My unpopular opinion is that I'm sad Hermes haven't created a water resistant box leather.
Living in London it rains A LOT I would LOVE a box leather Birkin so much but having ended up with blistered leather on favourite (non H) Box bags I know Owning a BBB is a pipe dream..
Unless I move to palm springs
Constance was my first H bag many years ago and have not been able to get my hands on another one since. It’s my favourite bag out of the trifecta too. Funny how I get offered the Birkin or Kelly even when I ask for a Constance it’s just not available to me!
Me too!
People do use stuff to weather proof but I haven't. It makes me think of the soles of men's shoes and the argument to rubber sole or leave to develop resistance.
I would cover in rain if I could, wipe over if wet as best as possible, but it's the un-spied droplets that really do the damage.
My RH Bolide recovered very well from a shower but it's old.
There's nothing that builds-up resistance to the elements like use, and you can only do that by using. When we consider how many vintage Box there are out there, they couldn't have all been kept for dry-only days.
Agree completely. Was looking at a bolide in this color and it wasn’t appealing.I'd like to add trench to the list.
I've lived in both and London's wetter (island conditions)
but considering that Box calf was developed by a shoemaker, it is made to be worn!So I agree with that unpopular opinion and will add that I've been in many surprise showers and have many Hermès bags that have been with me in said showers, and not one of my bags has water damage of any kind, so the leathers are just not that precious.
Vlad posted some doggie things here:I think Hermes should make an extended dog and cat line from more practical collars and leashes (not simply the leather ones) to at the higher end: puffer vests; sweaters; and jungle love t shirts. I think it would be just as popular as the baby line. And how cute would a little toy be
Lol - And I own a kelly 35 in trench with RGHW during the first issue of this color 5 years ago ! Lol
It’s all good ladies !
Here she is with bingata twilly and rose México rodeo !

Paris has the same weather as London- just better press!I've lived in both and London's wetter (island conditions)

And I'll agree with just use those bags! (although in a downpour I WILL throw my box bags under plastic- why tempt the fates?
)
Right!!! I was never interested in a B or K, just the Constance. I've only been offered one Constance and it was red, shiny alligator. Everything I don't want in a bag. Lol. It was beautiful, but not my style. Don't get me wrong. I love my Birkins, but can I get a Constance in a neutral? Please!!!!
Ok I do too. Every bag has a waterproof shopper inside esp Birkins, for when I need to be hands free, in the crowded Metro, when I come across the unexpected Eclair/ Baguette/ Paris- Brest and for rain/ snow. I still use my Box bags rather than leaving them at home.Paris has the same weather as London- just better press!

) but here's an unpopular one....I hated all Cargo bags until I saw them in person. I still think the B is iffy but the Pico version is actually very cool.Hermes aesthetic (for women) is anti-sexy…usually. Some exceptions are that stunning silk studded jumpsuit and a Kelly 25 sellier…
