Yep. A lot of the leather that first season was a shocking departure from all the yumminess that preceded it. Even S/S 07 had some pretty bad leathers before the legendary F/W 07 made us all swoon. Some of the worst leather of S/S 07 was on Vert Gazon and French Blue, gorgeous colors on sandpaper leather. :yucky:
I have a French Blue Work w/GGH and the leather is very supple on it. Were there different FB leathers in 07? Or maybe I just got a good one??
 
I assumed they just went for a cheaper and more plentiful leather to fuel their bigger output after their increasing success. They saved the premium Chevre for the special Hamiltons, Metallic Edge and Vibratos. More $$$$ than standard bags.
This is indeed, more likely. it does seem like the change in leather coincided with the market drowning in output. :frown:

You got a good one. I‘ve seen your yummy work, but many FBs were stiff and dry. I got a FB Day when they just came out but couldn’t bear the leather. It was rough and sandpapery. Gave me heebee jeebees to touch it. Same with Vert Gazon. I remember the batches later in the S/S season were softer, but the first run was a disaster for those gorgeous colors.

@muchstuff as promises, daylight photos. Doesn’t look as dark as it did in my office on that dreary day, but I still see more black as the secondary color than brown. I won't lie, I like the black green even more than the brown green.

The leather, the color, that G21 HW - it looks sooooo good. If I could kiss and fondle a bag at midnight, this would be it! 💋
