Seconding that white intrecciato doesn't hold up well from what I've seen on other people's bags -- the weave gets raggedy and looks worn quicker than other colors. However I think from a distance it's not that noticeable. I love winter whites, so I could see this being gorgeous with colder weather clothing as well (I also live in the Northeast). I own two mini Jodies and they fit more than you would expect since they are kind of a mushy round shape; I have the samsung flip phone so it's very compact and easy to use with these bags, but a normal slab phone also does fit fine from my experience. I can easily fit a phone, small card holder, lip products or equivalent, airpods, car key, mask, hand sanitizer and maybe a small extra. The main drawback is only being able to hand-hold it, but that's also what makes it so chic. My advice is to get what you love, because big-braining the decision has backfired on me many times
