Great buys! I can understand how you feel about the clutch. Yes, it is more likely to get dirty than an all black one. However, does the black version also have a black bow? If so, you won't get the entire effect of the bow if you switch to black. The contrast of the black bow against the beige clutch is what "makes" the bag. It is what gives it that wow factor. If the black clutch is all black (including bow), then I wouldn't exchange it. Yes, this color will be harder to maintain, but it looks completely amazing. I really love it. Haven't seen it before? Such a special piece!
