Gga, what can I say......you certainly know how to pick 'em

This one is beautiful.

I love this color, it looks great on your bag. What does it feel like - is it velvety or more dryer?

kmarney · Aug 5th, 2009, 11:50 PM

Love it. Looks like it will be great with jeans!

gga · Aug 6th, 2009, 08:01 AM

Thanks! it really is perfect with jeans and a white shirt. I wear it with a wide orange Hermes TohuBohu bangle, a tshirt, and jeans, and feel totally dolled up. Bracelet and bag are the focal points.

Sgreg, I think I would say it's more on the dry side. I condition my matte leathers with Blackrocks, which is what I use on my vintage black box kelly. After 2-3 coats of blackrocks, it's starting to get a velvety texture, but still I'd call it on the dry side.

I agree with all your comments!

Gga, enjoy your new bag in the EM. I"m happy your happy with it!

What a lovely pop of colour! ..and your pic with three mattes is wonderful.

The pic without flash is it close to the colour IRL???

gga · Aug 9th, 2009, 04:21 PM

thanks, gottashop and lovebags! I love it more the more I carry it. I live in such a hot, tropical climate that brights seem to work really well for me.

and thanks, Bonnie, but I think maybe you mean that for moonstarr? I really only have the one matte leather BE at the moment (although I've plotted/ordered others)

bonniekir · Aug 9th, 2009, 04:30 PM

gga..youre right..I was watching your bag for the umpteenth time..can't still decide if I can wear this colour..but had just seen Moonstarr's new bag

Oh well, both have the same gorgeous colour!

Suzzeee · Aug 9th, 2009, 04:39 PM

GGA -- that leather and bag is just stunning!

clu0984 · Aug 9th, 2009, 05:17 PM

Wow this style really highlights this leather and color. Great combination!

asbb · Aug 11th, 2009, 12:07 AM

This is beautiful. Do you think with time the bag will smoosh up and not appear as wide across the base?
