Posting anonymously, because where I live, my bag makes me stand out a little, so I don't want to blow my cover.
Anyway, I recently bought the Marc Jacobs Preppy Nylon bag, and I love it. However, one of the reasons that I bought is was because I always had to switch out of my leather bags when it was raining, so as not to wreck the leather, and I was looking for a really nice-looking bag that I could wear, no matter what the weather (barring blizzards, I guess. When I got the bag, I saw that a) it had a leather handle, and b) it had a whole note about how you shouldn't expose it to wet or rough surfaces, etc. I would like some advice, as to how closely I should be sticking to those instructions. I don't want to wreck my bag, but I would really like to wear it all the time. Does anyone have any experience that would help me?
Thanks!

I am not sure why a bag would make someone stand out..it is a bag!
Anyway, assuming in the rain you have an umbrella I don't see why it should be a problem (but then again I carry my leather bags in rain too...leather more than material if anything).
Worst case it gets a bit wet (how heavy a rain are you going out in for how long), wipe it dry when you get inside.

Is it a hobo, or a cross body? When I lived in NYC, I learned to put my cross body on first, and THEN put on my coat. That made it mugger proof, and kept it dry at the same time. Highly recommended way of wearing it!
If it's a hobo or a large tote, try it under your coat, but it may be too bulky. In that case, you may be out of luck in windy weather where the rain could blow under your umbrella.
The other option is to take it to a high quality shoe repair shop and ask them to waterproof it for you.

The handle is PVC, not leather.
