Would you buy a Swift Birkin in Argile (beige)

Swift is a lovely leather, soft and light. In Argile it sonds wonderful! I’ve had a Gris Perle swift Jige 35 for about six years. Both the leather and the light color have held up beautifully though it certainly isn’t a daily use sort of bag.

The swift Lagon Lindy 34 has been to the spa once and they touched up the corners. Because it’s large, such a boxy shape and I use it a lot they were a little scuffed after five years.

Didn’t hesitate a moment when offered a noir swift and toile 35B two weeks ago. It’s not the toughest leather out there but not delicate either in my experience.
 
I love Swift, although it feels heavier to me than other leathers. I would not hesitate to get something from the beige family, but I would be careful around food and would not touch a newspaper when carrying a lighter colored bag.
