White Lindy or Birkin for summer?

[catabie]

i have a 35cm white birkin and to me it's such a perfect everyday bag for the summer. i even use it during winter; i simply wrap 2 twillys around the handles to add some darken shades and bam it's a winter bag.

i wouldnt get a white Lindy. JMHO.

I think the white birkin would be great for the summer. The 30 may be better for the summer if you don't plan on carrying a lot of things.

 

[all about bags]

I have owned some white bags. In my experience the easiest to take care of is Epsom... I know Epsom is not the most popular leather , but in White color, it is both sparkling and easy to clean...

^^I agree. Epsom is not a personal favorite of mine but if I were to get a birkin, it would be this leather. The nature of the "grain" (pressed, I believe) makes it easier to maintain than clemence. I have a smaller bag in white (an evelyne) and I got it in clemence because I know it won't be such a big deal if it were to get really dirty. But a birkin... that would be something else...

White birkin is so nice!

ms fashionista, the white does not fade. I have an epsom from a few years ago (not 10 years thought!) that looks brand new, but I do take VERY good care of it. The only part that does get wear is the handle. Wrappping scarves around it is an option, but the feel bothers me. I prefer to carry just as it, and deal with the faint dirty marks. I do wipe it clean when it gets "grey". I am thinking of getting a white bombay. so cute.

Good to know! My white balenciaga has turned a nasty yellow...and it's only 2 yrs old! This is another reason why I am turning into an H girl! They have the best quality!

I would go for the birkin and use the twillies as Avandome suggested. I have a white 35 that I barely used and their were small cracks starting to form on the handles. I had to send it to Paris to get fixed b/c Claude couldnt fix it. Such a shame.
