Damier is def. a good choice for black, if you look close at the pattern there's a little black that runs throught it.....I would probably pick damier over mini lin for a black outfit but I think they would both go. For a black and white outfit I would have to see what kind of combo of black and white you're talking about......but that's where I would probably grab one of my epi pieces, maybe a multicolor but it depends on the outfit.
I agree. Damier looks fantastic with a black outfit. (I cant say too much about the min lin since I dont have any pieces.) I think once you step into a black and white outfit I would choose a bag other than Damier. That is definitely a time where having an Epi bag would come in handy.
