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 :lol:

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

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.
 
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!!!
