it’s not easy being GREEN

[Cosmopolitan]

IMO, i feel that structured bags like a kelly or birkin in green would look a bit "unusual" if the size of the bag is too large. I have seen an emerald green croc kelly in 28 cm and we (as in my sis and I) share a 28 cm Vert Anis Kelly. In this "smaller" size, the green bags are nice... but anything larger...hmm... (this is my opinion only)

I completely understand what you mean. I think that's why I would lean toward a darker, more-neutral green, such as forest green, for a 35cm Birkin. And that's why I was hoping for some real-life-sighting advice about which particular shades of green might work for me--and which might look like a "bit much."

I think any shade of green is fabulous! Good luck on your search! I'll keep an eye out for ya!

cosmo, am not sure what the exact name green for that birkin in my signature. its a friend's birkin w/c she's had for at least more than 3 yrs!

This picture does not do it justice, but here is a Vert Foret Ostrich Kelly sport (courtesy of NM). The color is really beautiful in real life! I only saw this one in the store, but the color was just gorgeous!

Oo, that vert feuillage looks right up my street.

I'm not generally a green person, except for the olives and the military greens. This would work though. Gotta start thinking about the next Birkin. LOL.

Thanks everyone for the show-and-tell and the support! Very sweet of you.

I had never seen a pic of a Vert Feuillage bag before, but that color is really pretty, too. Definitely something to consider.

I think I'm officially in the hunt!
