LOL -- I don't wear my leather shoes in the pouring rain, either! I think I must be OCD.
I have GoreTex-treated Timberlands that are my rain shoes.
Do you carry your Leather bags in the rain??

I just bought a 500$ marc jacobs bag and wore it in the rain today...eek! I read the label that comes with the bag saying not to get it wet but i chose to ignore it, i was just so excited to get to wear my bag for the first time! It wasn't ruined at all but i definitely won't make that a habit
hey DawnQB, didn't have a lot of comments about the rain topic,
but that is a gorgeous bag!
Congtats on finding a beautiful bag, that you love!
The shape is pretty and a little demure
and the color is beautiful. Soft hue, but stylish, and different.
It looks really cute, and the leather looks really nice.
I've never treated any of my bags (lame haha) but it rarely rains where I live.
Then I take a coated canvas in major rain.
However, I used to treat my leather shoes and suede boots etc. all the time - and it worked GREAT. Shoes get so much more beat up than bags in my life. Heck, you can get your shoes wet just by being in public, or doing dishes or whatever.
Whenever I sprayed a leather water repellant on them, it worked great.
Take care.

Enough of the rain and snow already..I'm with you on having to consider switching bags due to weather... Thats why I'm just going to go with the flow and use my bag...If it gets wet, I have learned some tips on what Not to do!
Thank's for sharing
I'm happy nothing happened to your new bag.Thank you!!hey DawnQB, didn't have a lot of comments about the rain topic,

You are too sweet...Your comments have insured me that I did purchase the Right Leather bag for me
I do love everything about this bag, from the shape,size, to the color... I think thats why I'm more concerned with taking care of this one..With other bags, I didn't care, as much. Thats because I knew they were canvas, and just worry-free!I bought this bag with the intentions of Not buying anymore bags for awhile! I still have my large nylon tote, and a couple of smaller bags, 1 siggy and 1 suede(I never carry the suede)..I keep that 1 around due to it being my 1st Coach bag..All of my bags are Coach and I find that they are made to last!!! So again ,Thank You so much for your kind comments~You made my day!!! I may pick up some spray repellant too
Until then, I'm carrying her no matter what the weather decides to do.
Well, I new it was a mtter of time before I would get caught in some kind wet weather..New England weather is Crazy. At first there were water spots, then they dried up..So I hope that is a good sign!!I was horrified when I seen them, but as they disappeared, I was ok,lol....I plan on getting a spray to coat the leather from further issues.

No, I have a canvas tote my mother-in-law gave me with my initial on the front that I carry. It is really cute and it doesn't matter if it gets wet.
Except for my Chanel flap, I don't worry about rain too much. If the bag gets wet, I just dry it off with a towel and let it air dry. Maybe I'm lucky, but I've never had any problems! 
I do, but I'm very picky about which ones, definitely not the bags where I'd feel like a red hot poker was struck through my heart if the rain drenched them lol! same with shoes - I have rainy day shoes. I do keep an umbrella in the boot, and a lightweight reusable bag in the bag I'm carrying (folds up into a very small ball and fits in my cosmetic case) just in case the weather hits unexpected and I can fit whatever bag I'm carrying inside which usually does the job until I get to the car/inside etc.
today is looming with rain here so I am carrying one of my 'acceptable wet weather riskers' - my leather Oroton Lido hobo - I love but can also live with if a sideways storm hits and it gets wet.
I don't take out my very favorites or suede which is hard because we've had a lot of rain in the last few years!.
