Help me choose which Epi Alma color!!

IMO the Epi Alma looks the best in Ivory! It is just so classy and white/ivory does not complement just any bag. You can always get a basic black bag another time.
 
I was going to say Black but I think you prefer Ivory. I think both are lovely but I would guess that Ivory will stand out more. Get the Ivory now ... and the Black later.
 
I think getting an epi in Ivory is fine, I don't think you will have a problem with getting it dirty at all, the leather in the Epi is coated and JUST as easy to maintain as monogram canvas - now saying that, i never *HAD* a white epi, but since i can litterally hose down my Speedy in Moka, I can't envision the white being any less easy to maintain!
