I just bought a Little Curtis and a Mini Minka in affogato. I fell in love with the color after seeing two bags in that color in the gym I go to. I can't attest to the wear and dirt factor yet but I can attest to the beauty of the color. It is a beautiful beige that in my opinion is perfect for spring and summer. The gold hardware complements it perfectly. I am so in love with this color and I plan to use my Little Curtis as my everyday summer bag. I hope others who have more experience with their bags in this color will chime in.
