I'm glad the mark came off your beauty! I use Apple conditioner on the Damier leather, just as I do on the regular monogram leather. It seems to help out against white marks. I am not sure if its from your wall, for it seems others find white marks to on the damier items, luckily they seem to always come off with baby wipes. I have found that the Apple conditioner seems to help prevent wrinkling of the leather on my Damier pieces. Glad to hear the news on longer handles, that I would like and even the possiblity of softer, less structured bags, but as far as size, I hope they make a pm and mm for most of their new releases because I'm so petite, I never go for the BIG sizes!
