Will White Epi = High Maintenance?

    Hey Everyone...

    So, I have read that white is going to be the next Epi color and I think a white Speedy would be absolutely TDF, particularly for a summer bag...however, I tend to freak out when my bags get dirty, so I am wondering how much upkeep this bag would require...obviously it is white, but I know Epi is a great low maintenance bag. What do all of you with Epi experience think? Would the handles and bottom of bag be absolutely gross if used daily for several months? :confused1:

    I am not sure what would happen really. I'll definately buy something in white Epi, but would probably save it just for special occasions. I know my Jasmin in myrtille is in great shape after a lot of use, but white? I just don't know.

    I have a Epi wallet in lilac. It's durable but the leather at the corners and edges did chip off over time. I think the chances of having the same thing happened to a handbag is smaller....as for wallet you usually just throw it inside the bag, it's hard to take good care of.

    With the ease of use of the epi leather I think the white should be fine. It seems that other white leathers would be harder to maintain. I actually had this all though through the other day when I heard that there would be white epi leather. I think a white epi leather purchase is easily justifiable!!! :wlae:

    I love epi, but not really a fan of all white colored bags. The leather is very durable, but if you got a pen mark it'd be a lot more difficult to remove obviously than say black. I'd probably be too paranoid/nervous to use it! :shrugs:

    I think it'll get dirty so you might need to clean it more often than the other epi colors. My friend has a mandarin epi wallet that she used 24/7 for the past 2 years and I saw her over the weekend and her wallet is so nasty looking. Dirty and nasty...:yucky: I told her to please clean your baby more often! :P

    I was wondering the same thing. One of the appeals of the epi line to me is that they're fairly low maintenance...but I just don't know about a white epi bag. I'm thinking any white leather bag will require a little extra precaution and care because dirt and other marks will be a lot more noticeable.
