How do you feel about white bags?

[luckycharm06]

I think white bags look so crisp and fresh...but taking care of them?! :blink: that's another story!! Do you think I should take the plunge anyway and buy a white bag? For spring..it will look great =) Will it fade into some funky color? Will it be unusually hard to take care of?

Taking care of them sucks...but its worth it If you don't get it dirty it shouldnt discolor for years, if ever. Unless its patent.

white bags are one of my favourites (and tan). Its a colour that can be worn all seasons.. where as black is too harsh for summer (in my experience) but the problem with white bags is, im reeeeallly conscious about it =S

Wow, there is another thread about white bags somewhere, I guess spring is upon us and everyone is thinking of spring/summer06 already. I love white bags but once bitten twice shy, that whte bag I had didn't last. I mean it look worn so quickly, the leather is still nice and soft, just look dirty no matter what I do. I was recommended this cleansing cream when I bought it, it didn't really help. But I am still tempted to get a white bag this summer.

Until this year I would have said no way, but now I love them! They look so clean, cool, fresh and beautiful!

Definitely get one! Absolutely gorgeous color in my opinion. Plus you can always CLEAN it.

The new Furla "Farrah" bag in white is amazing if you love a big bag. I just received mine and it is not that creamy white that some bags are, but a crisp white pebbled leather -- and butter soft! SHOP, Etc. magazine did a section on white bags last summer and recommends applying Wilson's Leather & Suede Protector ($5.95) every two to three months to keep the bag clean and scuff-free.

Here is the Furla bag...

I can't access your Furla bag picture.

Sorry...I am new, and the pics seem to show up when I post, but not on the actual thread. You can see the Furla on the main page at FurlaUSA.com. I can link you to my blog that has the photo...http://nystfmd.blogspot.com/2006/01/sorry-to-be-absent-for-so-long-but-i.html

Nope not big fan of white bags they get dirty quickly and I always think they look cheaper

I just bought my first white bag the other day, I love the look of the white but I'm scared to take it out of the dust bag. I guess it can always be cleaned but I'm not really one for maintaining things.

Ditto. I don't do white shoes, sandals even, in white. I have an aversion that I just can't break.

Sometimes a white bag is exactly the right thing, so I'd classify it as a necessity. But I doubt I'd use one everyday.

I love white color bags especially in chanel but not very a pure white!!!! I still love white bags they are so clean looking and elegant.
