What do you think of this bag - which color?

Angie's bag post mentioned this Matt & Natt Pharoah bag in black, which it turns out also comes in white:

This bag seems fabulous, but I'm torn about the color. What do you think?

What a fab bag-I can see why you like the white, love it, but I would worry about getting it dirty and cleaning it, but it is beautiful!

Medusa: it's a beautiful bag, but I think I'd prefer anything but white as a bag to carry around myself.

Hi Medusa!! Nice to see you around. I like the color (they're calling it cement grey although it looks more of a cream to me). I guess lots of use out of my cream colored bag though it probably depends on the other colors in your wardrobe. This bag looks pretty all-season too!

It's beautiful, but the color would be a deal-breaker for me (too high maintenance). But Angie and some YLFers sport white coats and bags, so maybe they will offer some tips on caring for it.

I love it. I have an off white purse that I don't have any problems keeping clean. It is great to use year round, too. I don't carry it everyday so I think that helps with keeping it from getting ratty looking.

I love cream colored bags so I vote cream. It's usually a very versatile color but I would think blue would be versatile also.

Argh! What to do? I checked the comments briefly yesterday evening, and the first few replies were pointing out that the white would be hard to keep clean. So I was kind of resigning myself to not getting the bag. Then I check again this morning, and there are more votes for the white.

I guess I'd like to hear from other people with cream or white bags - how hard are they to keep clean, really? This would be a bag that I would use every day (since it would be my only bag, for the moment).

I like the black version. Cool bag.

I received a beautiful cream colored pebbled leather bag as a gift and never used it!

Medusa, I have leather cream bags and they get dirty quickly.. the problem is that some stains are impossible to clean. Go for a darker color

I have one white bag and two lighter color bags (yellow and tan) and they are hard to keep clean. I purchase bags over $100 US in darker colors and lighter bags at cheaper prices. This way when they get dirty and I can't clean them I don't feel as bad about it. For a bag such as this I vote black.

Oooo lovely bag. I'd go with black if you're going to be using it daily x

Hmmm. Seems like the consensus has shifted to black. It does seem like that makes more sense for daily use.

Is the white bag really white? Just asking cause i noticed it's listed as "light grey" which maybe be easier to keep clean? Or at least not as noticeable if it gets a little roughed up...

I think that style would love great in either color though....you can't really go wrong!

I agree with Lisa. I won't buy an expensive cream bag for everyday use because of the cleanliness issue.
