Which MJ bag do you carry when it rains?

[oopsmyshoes]

I hope this isn't a silly question, but I'm fairly new to designer bags. I keep hearing how the rain can ruin the leather and now I'm paranoid

So tell me, is there a certain bag you carry when it rains? Or are they all fair game?

Thanks! :shame:

You can purchase a water repellent to spray on your bag before you carry it. regular use of a leather conditioner, i.e., Apple or Cadillac can also keep a bag protected. there are some links to threads up in the Reference section about how to keep your bag protected (http://forum.purseblog.com/marc-jacobs/marc-jacobs-faqs-460169.html)

there was actually a thread created a while ago about MJ bags that hold well in the rain

Ah thanks, didn't mean to double-post. I've sprayed my bags with apple repellent but have been afraid to test it in the elements, I suppose. Thanks again

there's very few mj bags i own that i'd be afraid to carry in the rain. the leather's that durable. the soft calf bags hold up the best though. i'll usually bust out the large mp's just so i can throw it over my shoulder and keep my hands free for the umbrella.

Can't go wrong w. anything patent, imo!

I used stain/water repellant on all my bag before i take them out. So far all of Mj bags are doing great. MJ leather is durable for the most part, better than some other brands, IMO

I have a Croc of Q that is vinyl coated leather. It never fails me.

The bags with the more patent kind of finish definitely have worked the best for me.... I had a fab Ursula bowler that was practically bullet-proof!!!
