I have the slim tote in natural and part of the reason that I chose that color (other than the fact I love it) is that the white leather scares me. I love how it looks but also have little kids and am just not in a position where I can baby a purse more than my munchkins!
If you love the white and can take care of it, great. if not, maybe exchange it for natural.
My SA also told me that it would soon be available in black...
