I use my LV's all year around. However in the winter I generaly switch to my damier or epi. If I do use my monogram bag, I spray the vachetta leather with protector on very wet days. I live in Toronto, the winter here can be brutal.

I use Wilson spray. Every time I go to US, I stock up on them.

I think TR, seven jeans are all same price everywhere but we have more stores in Toronto and some styles might be on sale when you're here. Or if you go to the Asian malls, they always give you discount or at least no tax. There is a LV store on Bloor street and a LV counter at Holt's on Bloor and Yorkdale. The LV store is a global store and has more stuff. I do, however like shopping at the LV counters though because the service is more personal.

PM me before you come and let me know where you stay. I'll let you what the sales like then.

i have 2 speedies and i dont think i would carry them in winter, not because its LV but because its so cold and i would burry my gloved hands into my coat pockets hehe.

I use my LVs all year round. I don't put anything on them to protect the bags at all ... but they still looks fine! I love how I dont have to worry about ruining my monograms and Damiers coz they are so durable!

btw, I live in TO too and like what asiandiva said, the weather can get pretty bad here!
