I also love my chalk cassie! I don't use it daily, but do reach for it a lot. I also want to find a black one for the same reasons you mentioned. I have had color transfer issues but also use a baby wipe the day I see them and they come right off.My Chalk Cassie 19 has held up great and I used it for over a month straight after I bought it at the end of July. I was able to get color transfer from my jeans off with a baby wipe, but I did make sure to do it the same day instead of letting it sit. Do you know what got onto your bag? If you’re near a Coach store, they do free leather care and might be able to get the staining off for you.
@paula3boys I’m thinking of getting a second Cassie 19 in black now because it’s such a great little bag that is deceptively spacious and I don’t have to baby it. From toddler feet kicking it around to being stuffed in the stroller basket with other items, mine has held up beautifully. I can’t speak on the full-sized version though.

I also have the pink/green/tan color block version and I admit I don't reach for it. I need to wear it more often. Such a great and cute bag.
