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.

Thanks. Had no idea epsom is water resistant. I thought it is similar to prada saffiano but my saffiano bags don’t hold their shapes well after getting wet. Hope you get your B30 soon! I’m getting my first Epsom Kelly next week. Curious to see if I’ll love it and want to have an epsom Birkin.

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. :smile:
Last night I wore my own beater clemence bag: customized metallic charcoal grey Clemence 32HAC rescue bag, engraved hardware, courtesy of @docride. :biggrin: Chanel stretchy tank dress (to accommodate delicious Cacio y Pepe pasta at our favorite restaurant) and espadrilles. don’t bite me brand mosquito patches plus Deep woods off spray around my chair.

Ditto 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.

Thank you! That’s so kind of you! Stretchy elastic plus pasta, we’re all living large in the covid world :biggrin:

Edit: love the 35 Victoria II. Plus lighter weight bc lined in fabric! Along with the double sens, mine are workhorse bags! Hugs

Best wishes on your journey @baggrl! @Four Tails, I’m late to the party, but belated congratulations to you! Hugs

@hannahsophia, love the BdW jige, but also found myself straining to read what looks like a delicious menu :biggrin: @adb, I love your outfit, and I am so envious that you are in a public place — indoors! Looks amazing!
