it's not the same leather.
the leather from the legacy is a bit different and if you've seen the ladies with the previous legacy bags in white and what happened to them (it turned yellowish) then that's supposedly what is going to happen b/c it's vachetta. but i doubt it, i think those ladies cleaned it or something b/c i've used mine almost everyday for more then a month now. and so far, nothing.
what has happened though, is the denim ink from my jeans has transferred over, soap and water has helped some, and rubbing a little too, but overall, it just is there.'
i'm more careful not to use that bag when i'm wearing those particular jeans now.
bo_regard, it is very durable but color wise i wouldn't recommend white unless you don't care (like me) or you are very careful (like some of my customers) or you don't use it often.
b/c white, no matter what, eventually does get dirty if you're not safe.
and this leather you can't even clean it!
i almost convinced myself the whiskey or black version when my turnlock broke and they were going to give me a new bag.
but i just love white.
