Default Green Crash is a Showstopper!
So, I finally got around to breaking out my bespoke Green Crash Stroke Me the other day (I'd been saving her for Fall) and have been using it for a few days now and this bag has been causing quite a sensation!! I've handed out several of Jackie's cards in the past few days to people who have come up to me and asked me where on earth I found such a beautiful bag! I walked into the Coach outlet today and one of the SA's came from clear across the room to ask me about my bag! It is truly gorgeous -- the leather was a tiny bit stiff at first but has softened up nicely in just a few outings.

I have a meeting with Elle mag later this week and I think this is the bag that's going to NYC with me!

A couple of pics for those who didn't see the pics and review I posted awhile back.

Whoa...What a beauty!
I had not seen this bag before so I'm glad you posted it again. Normally, I don't care for green bags, but this looks like an emerald or forest green, which I think looks sooo classy. I'm not at all surprised it's stopping traffic.

Usually I'm not a green fan but this green crash is amazing, such a vibrant colour, beautiful choice!!

This is fab! How is the shine on it? I want some green crash in my life, but am afraid of the shine on some of the crash leathers. Would you say this is more subtle like the black crash, or more blingy like the plum/purple crash?

I may have to change my bec charm me to this.
