Bought a beautiiful nappa beige delave handbag on sale last year. Didn't realize that it could only go out in beautiful weather as if it sees a raindrop it stains. It has already picked up some demin stain but I used apple cleaner and it looks somewhat better.

Would it be a good idea to waterproof or would that stain it? Appreciate any suggestions. TIA
