after patina sets in, can it go out in the rain?

How patina-ed are we talking? The leather continues to patina (heck, my mom's 17 year old speedy still isn't completely done) but the color will eventually even out so spots aren't so noticeable.
My mom took her black MC speedy out in the rain a couple months ago and it got soaked, but it returned to the same honey color it was when she took it out of her closet that day.

Yes...it's still the same Vachetta leather only darker,....only if you treat it with an All Leather spray from Apple Guard, Wilson's leather or Shining Monkey will it be safe...

Good Luck, and congrats on your New Batignolles...

Me too. I always take them out in the rain and I've never had any water spots or anything. Even if it's gotten wet it still returns to original color.

I don't baby my bags at all so I take mine out in the rain all the time too. Water spots are less obvious when the patina is darker but they do still show if you are concerned about that type of thing.

I take mine out in the rain but I try to avoid downpours. The darker the patina the less noticable the rain spots I would think. None of mine have patina'd completely yet.
