Any advice for protecting full grain leather against the Irish rain?

Hi everyone. I’m a leathercrafter and I’ve just finished making this cognac weekender bag. I’m planning on using it for a few trips around the coast this summer, but as we all know, the weather can be unpredictable. Are there any specific local brands or traditional Irish methods you’d recommend for waterproofing, conditioning a bag like this? Cheers!

Just finished this Cognac Weekender, first time working with this specific Full Grain Bag.

I spent a lot of time on the structural integrity specifically reinforcing the stress points and adding brass feet to the bottom to protect the leather. This was built to be a "buy it for life" kind of piece. I'd love to hear what you guys think about the handle proportions or the finish on this cognac, Always looking to improve the next one.
