I say take a white cloth with you and test teh bag before purchase. I have a damier speedy and I do not have the transfer problem at all. I don't think you should let the problems others have been having dissuade you completely from buying the bag, however do take their issues into account. If you do go to the store and have color transfer then you know what to do, but if you don;t you will have a gorgeous bag that you have been loving for quite some time now.
