Stores are closed on Sundays where we live, so Saturdays are crazy and always filled with running around the city. Weather could not have been worse. Glad to have at least one Epsom bag...

Birkin 35 in Vert Anglais
Oh no! I was just chatting with my sa about the bag raincoat and wondering if anyone actually uses it. I said I know it’s not good looking but I want to carry it in my bag just in case I get caught in the rain.
Is Epsom ok with rain drops? Will it hold its shape well after this much water on it?
I even had an umbrella- just one those windy days when the rain was practically sideways.
Epsom leather is water resistant so it’s fine with rain drops, but I did wipe the bag down each time I went indoors.
My other H bags are all Clemence leather so I try not to get them wet, but my Evelyne in noir gets rain drops on it and seems fine so far. Epsom is also scratch resistant, but is prone to corner wear. This Epsom Birkin is my only preloved H bag and I consider it to be my “beater Birkin” so it will continue to be my rainy day and travel bag. I am waiting for the call on a B30 in Togo or Epsom and am really torn about which leather I would be happier with.
Very elegant! Congrats!
you look woooowww!
Love your photo! I used my clemence Evelyn’s in dark colors as beater bags; would get soaked regularly and be fine. Wipe And dry.My other H bags are all Clemence leather so I try not to get them wet, but my Evelyne in noir gets rain drops on it and seems fine so far.
Thank you, @baggrl - my journey now is "just" raising my two DDs, who are now 10 and 14.Good luck on your journey. I embarked on mine this week by freezing eggs. Now, I need to decide next steps.

Thank you! That’s so kind of you! Stretchy elastic plus pasta, we’re all living large in the covid worldDitto this.
My clemence Victoria is a great bag for errands in the rain because it stays up on my shoulder, zips closed, and never has any issues after being drenched and dried. For my own comfort, I typically don't expose myself or my accessories to prolonged rain, although torrential downpours occasionally happen. I always carry a ziplock bag of napkins anyway, but I could just as easily use a shirt or even my hands to wipe off the excess and everything would be fine.
ETA: changed my reaction to LOVE on your pic of the beater custom HAC and cacio y pepe-friendly dress, @880. Love, love, love.
