Nancy Gonzales Woven Croc Tote
6.1.2005 | by Megs | under: Nancy Gonzalez , Totes
Did any of you ever do the paper-mache strings on top of a inflated balloon? Umm you know, to make the perfect easter egg basket holder? Maybe that was just me. But pretend you are in Finding Neverland and put on your imagination hat and picture that. Now look at this Nancy Gonzalez Woven Crocodile Tote and tell me you don’t see the same thing? The key to this exercise is IMAGINATION! Anyhow, whether you followed along or not I’m really digging this fun and totally unique style set up by Nancy Gonzalez. Here is what is so cool: The tote is made of straw and then finished off with mayhem weaving of crocodile straps. The craziness of the croc straps comes together for a triple strap shoulder strap. Also this funky number has an open top with toggle closure, nothing but the finest suede lining, and an inside zip pocket. The bag measures 6″H x 12″W x 4 1/4″D and is made in Columbia. I wonder if they include some fresh Colombian coffee beans for the hefty price of $895 at Bergdorf Goodman. Probably not.
i am against! no crocs to be killed for the purse!
ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS RULE!
No matter what we say about Nancy Gonzalez’s work, she is one of the best promoted designers out there.
Can anyone help me find where she is located? I would like to include her in an upcoming article I am researching now.
Thanks for the assist.

And Mrs Nancy Gonzalez is “better speller too”
Hi John, I will be arriving in Buenos Aires in december and will be on the hunt to purchase some great croc toes, clutches, etc. Where are you located? Do you have any photos or a website to show any of your handbags?
Please advise. Thank you,

Me parece unos bolsos muy bonitos estan muy bien trabajados por colombianas humildes cabeza de familia, lastima que la señora Nancy Gonzales sea tan inhumana con estos trabajadores obligandolos y amenazandolos a trabajar horarios que van de 7 am a 10 pm todos los dias incluyendo domingos.afectando asi estas familias en su nucleo familiar y enfermendo en muchas ocasiones a los operarios.trabaje con ella 1 año y bueno hay trabajo pero sale uno como medio loco de alla por el nivel de estres que se maneja,porq hasta histerica es.me da pena contar esto pero es la realidad de un personaje que triunfa pasando por encima de muchas familias caleñas.
Andrea yo pienso que tu comentario es innapropiado y una mentira yo conozco a la compania y ala disenadora muy bien y se que le brinda a sus trabajadores la mayoria mujeres muchas oportunidades y tiene una guarderia para los ninos de estas; si esto para ti es ser inhumano ya no se que pensar.
carolina se ve que conoces bastante a esta señora,en una guarderia donde solo asisten 3 o 4 niños,la guarderia que ella habia creado la cerro,y ahora paga una especie de satelite en el barrio los alamos al trabajador se le cobra 25000 mensuales deducidos de sus salarios e igualmente solo asisten de 3 a 4 niños.porq no los llevan?por la hora de salida de sus madres es a las 10pm le recuerdo y si no se quedan las despiden sencillo.(FALTA DE COMPROMISO)
DOES ANYONE KNOW IF NANCY GONZALEZ has a showroom in NYC? Or a CONTACT FOR HER? Thanks!
