I prefer the white MC, but the black has grown on me. I purchased a black wapity a while ago and I love it. I think it can be used in so many ways. I wouldn't get a pochette personally, I think it's been overdone. A french purse or a koala wallet would be a good choice, they would go nicely with your epi speedy when you get it and an LV wallet is always a good investment. An agenda could be useful as well.
