I have the light colored Rose Poudre and there haven't been any issues for me either. My only complaint with the Empreinte bags is how the embossing wears down and softens over time. It happened to both of my older bags, and it will probably happen to my newest one, the Tourterelle, with time. I wish the deep embossing would stay, but it's the nature of these bags. I still love the Metis though, and the Marine Rouge is beautiful, so I would stick with it if I were you. But I am biased, as you can see below
