I am not going to be afraid to wear it. Life should be enjoyed. If they take back the beaded totes where those beads pulled off two years in a row and fixed them, they will take these back. I am tired of returning and not enjoying my bags. I agree that white, I would be a disaster for me too, but i do have an unused cleanable pleated hob from the outlet that is heavy for me. Jury is still out only because of the weight of the hardware. I like the bag a lot.Very nice bag!
however..as much as I LOVE the legacy lining...I think I would ruin it inside a tote (I'm generally "rougher" on totes than my handbags) But that's just me!
enjoy it!
