I just got caught in the heavy rain 2day with my Be & D bag which held up very well - can't see where it was wet, no staining etc.

I am wondering how MJ calfskin does in the rain. I'm always unprepared it seems, so do I need to be careful with this? I don't want to ruin a great bag. Thanks!

I would suggest using a leather protectant on your bag if you think it might get wet. Here is a similar thread: Rain drops on Venetia pink bag!

I've got caught out in the rain with my stellas... the raindrop marks go away when it dries.. but i hear this is not the case with every color

Thank you - I guess I'll have to pretreat them just in case. Unfortunately it's always a downpour when I get caught offguard so even that may not be enough. Today 75% of my purse was soaked through as well as my outfit. That plastic bag in the bag sounds like something I need to start doing as well.

I'd definitely suggest a leather waterproofer! The other day I spilled a bottle of water on my soft calf bag but the apple leather protector I put on it made the water bead up and wipe off really easily. Don't know how the protector holds up in a deluge though... (don't know if I want to find out, hehe.)

Has anyone sprayed a waterproofer on a MJ bag? I would like to know before I try doing it?

Yup, used the rain and stain guard from Apple leather care on my oatmeal soft calf and my black mbmj turnlock shopper. Didn't change the color/texture at all (but still test in a non-visible spot before spraying!)..

^ Apple leather care is the way to go IMHO
