I have never had a problem in rain, snow, etc. with my handbags. I don't let my bags get soaked (I'm actually pretty particular about my bags) but I've never given this a lot of thought. And, no offense to anyone who has one but the bag raincoats look a little silly to me. On a rainy day,I just choose a bag that I don't have to worry about.
Oh yes, ditto! It's a very handy thing to have, but it's like those people who wear galoshes. Looks a bit silly.
Just wear shoes that can take the weather and switch when you get indoors. And carry a Le Pliage in your expensive handbag, and when the going gets too tough, slip your treasure in the can-and-will-take-any-weather-with-ease Longchamp.
