Yes, I once bought an MK bag in a very light colour despite the fact that my handbag collection is made up entirely of dark and bold colours. Needless to say I didn't carry the bag and later gifted it to a relative who was puzzled at being given a bag in near mint condition.
Lesson learned: don't buy something outside your comfort zone.
Ooh which one was it? I had the same experience with a white Balenciaga. It was beautiful and had chèvre leather but I was constantly worried about stains that I sold her after a week or so.
