Trend Alert: Green Croc Bags!!!

UPDATE: Check out this STUNNING 35cm Porosus crocodile Hermes Birkin with gold hardware. The color is called Vert Force and it's available at my favorite vintage store in LA, Decades!


I've been keeping a really close eye on this trend because I love the color green and it suits crocodile skin beautifully! It's the perfect combination for fall, as green adds a splash of color to greys, browns and black, without looking inappropriately bright for the season.




The Quentin Mackay Persia is, hands down, my favorite handbag for fall. First and foremost, it's alligator skin and we've already talked about why that's superior to crocodile skin. The flawless scales are hand-dyed with the most gorgeous deep forest green that I have ever seen on a bag. The gold plated ball and claw closures give this bag a vintage feel and will undoubtedly turn heads. It's well worth the investment of £13,995.00 ($22,106.50) at Browns Fashion, because you will literally be able to wear this bag for the rest of your life and pass it down to your grandkids. If you're looking for something a bit more contemporary, may I present you with the Sang A Large River Tote?






You already know how much I adore this bag and in emerald green vintage finish alligator skin paired with the gold tone geometric detailing...IIII DIE! Purchase through Sang A for $15998.00. If you're young...you probably just want to have fun and aren't in the market for an uber expensive heirloom bag. Don't worry, I got your back...check out this Sang A Flash!




It's a dark green crocodile parallelogram...nuff said! The Flash retails for $1846 at Sang A and if you add yourself to their mailing list, they keep you abreast of all the sales. I only buy Sang A at 20% off! Click the title of this post for more green exotic clutches.
