I received the white MC koala for my christmas gift from bf. Even though it was stunning, I returned it for a mono koala because I was too worried that it would get dirty and I would have to stress out about it. I am glad that I did exchange it, because since I had the wallet, I had a lot of water leak on it in a bag (the MC koala light leather lining would have been ruined!), a lipgloss exploded in my purse, and I found out that my damier speedy red lining bleeds a little. Luckily my mono koala still looks like new! So for that reason I would probably get the black.
