The epsom is lovely and seems sturdy in white, I would buy white, I do have it in black, and like it's firmness, it softens a bit with use, I have seen it in blue jean only once, and it was very pretty...I think you have to decide based on your personal taste...the leather lasts well and is sturdy, is it my favorite leather? ...no, but I can see it's usefullness for everyday.
