How do you carry a white bag? I've never worn one before . . .

I'm worried that a white leather bag (trigger, to be precise) is going to be a little hard to pull off. . . anyone here carry a white bag? Any tips?

and does anybody know of a good Leather Cleaner to keep one clean?

I carry one in the summer, when I tend to wear more white. I don't carry it on days when it doesn't fit my outfit though.

As for leather cleaner, I use appleguarde for most things but I don't own a Botkier (yet) so I'm not much help there.

I just don't buy expensive white bags. Stick to Coach, Cole Haan, and other cheaper brands -- so you don't feel so bad when you have to get rid of it.

I've used Scotchgard on my fabric Gucci and leather cleaner from Coach for my leather bags. I would just suggest being very careful and hopefully it has feet at the bottom. My next purchase will be the Botkier st tropez bag in white leather so I can totally understand your concern. Hope this helps.

Exactly, you dont want to buy an expensive brand & have to toss it. Stick to the cheaper ones and you'll be fine.
