Looking to buy my first Kooba

I am rather new here and I need a little help. I want a Kooba bag so badly! I am looking to get the Heather bag in cream, possibly the black. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which one would be better? I always worry about light colored bags getting dirty. Suggestions?

The best thing to think about before you buy is how you take care of your bags and how many seasons you think you'll want to carry it. No matter how hard you try, a white bag will pick up marks and can be prone to color transfer. This might not be a big deal if your white bag is intended to be distressed (think: Dior Gaucho), but the Kooba Heather has such a crisp, clean appearance to it... depending on how porous the leather is, it could look pretty shabby in no time.

If you do go with white, play it safe and treat it with a few coats of Wilson's spray protector.

Personally, I'd save myself the trouble and buy it in black. That's just me though - I don't like to worry about keeping my bag clean. Good luck!!!

I still cannot decide which to get. I really love them both. Maybe whichever one I can find on sale. Since I could not decide I just ordered the Bonnie in Taupe. I cannot wait to get it in the mail. Thanks for the help.
