Here’s a pic of my 24/24 VC Togo in part sunlight and part shade so you can see how the color changes. Also added pic of my Calvi greens. My VC calvi looks almost black in this pic. 
Thank you! I really appreciate seeing the colors together which provides helpful context! I just came across this screenshot (having apparently taken it many months ago and sticking it in a random folder on my desktop!) - does VC ever look even remotely like this in any light? This is stunning so if VC has even a bit of this vibe then I'm sold
Side note, I've long been in love with your Calvi collection
I have a handful and my SA thinks I'm a lunatic for continuing to buy more Do you ever use more than one at a time? If so, other than as a mini wallet, what do you like to use them for?
IndeedCongrats! It's totally gorgeous (as we all knew it would be). SO happy you love it. Enjoy!
you guys were right!! Looveeee!
Beautiful!! Congrats!!!LOVE at first sight you guys
I'm a bit confused by the color differences in regards to your pictures, the swatch of VC that I saw and h.com photos. VC on h.com always looks very greenish with no blue undertones similar to vert foncé (see screenshot above). I also liked the color when I saw the swatch. Yet, the more I look at all your pictures (especially the Halzan and Picotin) I feel that it is a green that is very much on the dark side, in dark lightening resembles darker blue/noir and certainly has blue undertones. Is this really the case or does VC just photograph badly? How does VC look in swift - is it a nice darker emerald green?
Ah this is the exact thought process I went through! I'm hoping I can help you out. I've seen a few VC bags in the store and now that I own a VC bag and have seen it in various lighting conditions I can share my experience/thoughts... not saying this will match what others experience (especially those who own more than 1x VC item!!) but it's just my 2 cents:
- To me, VC is a color that looks very different on different bags even within the same leather - very much like Rouge H. The day I bought my bag, there was another VC bag (also Clemence, GHW) in the store and it looked fairly different and greener/richer than mine. I didn't take them both to the same window light, but that was my gut impression. I went in saying to myself I'd buy my P18 if I loved it, but if it was too dark or too blue I would pass. And FWIW I approach Rough H the same way - if I like a specific bag/SLG I'd buy it, but I wouldn't take just any RH item. That day I almost bought a verso RH Calvi but that particular one leaned too brown for me whereas some RH items are a richer red. Please note though, I'm very picky about grays, reds and greens, but for other colors like pinks/blues/purples I'm much less fussy
- When I've seen VC in the store, sometimes it looks very dark (almost black), sometimes it has a lighter and more emerald quality. So far my P18 hasn't tended toward looking almost black in any light. Don't get me wrong, it's a dark color but to me it looks green no matter what.
- The swatch shown on H.com is much more emerald-looking than my bag (I think the H.com swatch is totally misleading) but I still love my color. I can't comment on Swift as I haven't seen VC/Swift. Certain types of lights do make my P18 look like it has blue undertones (almost like dark teal) but mostly it presents as a true dark green. IMHO this will depend on the exact bag.

- so, nerd that I am, I color corrected my images against my actual bag... but since computer monitors unfortunately default to not having accurate color calibration it's probably not super helpful but at least it'll be close. And to your question about that, yes I think VC is very hard to photograph accurately!Ah this is the exact thought process I went through! I'm hoping I can help you out.

Thank you so much for your very detailed answer. I wonder how many have the same thought process as you and me
Once I saw the picture of @DoggieBags's 24/24 which looks from my perspective more like a light blue (similar to bleu de pursue in weird light) I started wondering whether I made the wrong choice with VC since I want the successor of vert foncé, so a darker but rich green.My hope is that VC in Swift is more on the greener side. Would you say that VC is like a very dark pine tree green? I think the VC of @HKsai’s bag in the car and nearly full body picture looks so lovely. Is this close to reality?

I have never seen vert foncé in person (my google search is worthless - so many crazy variants that bear no resemblance to each other!) so I can't comment on VC's relation to VF.
I feel my bag does indeed look quite similar to @HKsai's full body photo
My VC is green and dark but I suspect VC may be less evergreen/pine toned than you want? It's not blue by any stretch (which many photos make it look) but the green certainly has a blue/cyan rather than yellow undertone. It is a rich color, but I think the perfect word for it is muted... it's not vibrant, it's elegant and understated, it'd doesn't "scream" green, but when worn with black it's obviously green if that makes sense? I would love it even more if it had more of an emerald-y tone like H.com makes it look... I just don't think that's the personality of VC. You'd have to be ok with the muted-ness of it.And just to really add to the confusion- I just got a calvi in VC chamkila chevre to go with my bastia (same leather). Both my SA and I were amazed to note that they were NOT the exact same color. The calvi is a hint darker- almost a richer green, and the bastia perhaps a hint less saturated. Hope that makes sense as I truly overindulge my OCD on this one.
Bottom line? It doesn't matter- I love them both and I LOVE the fact that they are a bit different- different animals, dye lots, and just the randomness of the universe. Works for me

Woah so interesting! Would you post photos of your two VCs? I would love to see the differences/similarities.And just to really add to the confusion- I just got a calvi in VC chamkila chevre to go with my bastia (same leather).

Side note, do you find chamkila to be thick? I saw a VC chamkila calvi last week in store (maybe we have the same store? I’m home based at SF) and it felt much more “bulbous” - for lack of a better word - than chèvre which I adore for its thinness and flexible nature.
