Salvatore Ferragamo Python Soft Sofia Shoulder Bag

Be still, my heart.

Although versions of that famous phrase appear in the works of both Homer and Shakespeare, I think that it is most usefully and accurately employed to describe my salivating, almost quivering reaction upon seeing the Salvatore Ferragamo Python Soft Sofia Shoulder Bag. To put it in more vernacular terms: holy crap, y’all. If a bag can be sexy, this bag is sexy. I want to settle down and buy a house with it – too bad its price would be a good start to a downpayment.

It’s just…beautiful. Elegant, simple, clean-lined. I’ve always loved the somewhat off-kilter structure of the Sofia bag’s gussets (they’re folded up at the bottom and affixed with metal Ferragamo rings instead of neatly stitched), and rendering the shape in python only serves to up the wow-factor by several orders of magnitude.

I can only imagine how fragile snow-white python would be and how scared I would be to get it dirty, so this bag is likely not for the faint of heart or those whose existences find them sitting their bags on the ground from time to time. If you’re looking for a beautiful bag to carry very carefully, however, this is the one that I would suggest over all others that I’ve seen in the past few months. Buy through Luisa Via Roma for $3391.

Gorgeous! But yeah, not even in my dreams can I carry a white python bag!

marian t

nice bag, but definitely not my kind of price. (fb)

BLynnT

Too high a price for me, but wow! Absolutely gorgeous! (And yes, I think “sexy” is a totally appropriate word in this case.) (fb)

Cate

Yes, I have to agree: white bags are difficult on a general level, and white python is even more delicate. But what an absolutely perfect specimen of a handbag! (fb)

mai

Cute but u can’t afford it either. (fb)

Sweet Rags

I really like that bag!! Its a good size and color

Amy

Just gorgeous. Too bad I’d get it dirty. Also too bad I don’t have that much cash to spend on a bag! (fb)

Choy

Yet another great bag to blog, I wish I had your job! It’s definitely beautiful and sexy. I think the type of buckle used doesn’t do it much justice but definitely would love me so snow-white python. (fb)

Rosanna

This is such a great, classic bag. I’m loving the side details. I’m clumsy though so I’m not sure how a white bag would work out for me (not that I can afford it anyways heh). (fb)

Linda

I dunno. The price is too competitive with Hermes bags! Too precious a bag for practicality!

savannah

I do like python, but I do not like the white. (fb)

swags

Besides not being practical, I can’t see using this daily and if you are going to spend that much on a bag, you should feel comfortable carrying it constantly. I also don’t happen to find the bag particularly exciting. (fb)

Mika

if not for the price i will surely be carrying one of this.(fb)

Lynn

I love this bag! And I don’t even like white handbags! (fb)

Mattie

For some reason I just can’t quite get behind the idea of ever having a python, crocodile, snakeskin… or really any reptile bag! (fb)

Lianne

Oh, lordie, that is my dream bag. Or maybe I should say it would be my dream bag in almost any colour but white. White is just… I’d be terrified. Chocolate brown and steel grey (I need a nice grey purse) or a bright colour, but not white. (fb)

Marsha

very nice………. (fb)

Joy

ehh nice
but not liking the snake skin or the whatever skin it is :/

justa9url

I usually don’t fawn over white bags but this is simply beautiful. (fb)

Kayla

So great! I love the exotic skin! (fb)

Shine

Yeah i agree its really soft, since the snake skin was probably dyed in white.. in snake skin i really dont like the natural pattern of the snake and then made into a bag, i dont really like the visual texture of that.. But this is exceptional the leather is softer to look at and it was elegantly crafted.(fb)

kl

Very gracious looking bag. I would like it in a different color though. (fb)

Adrienne Zedella

no white for me (fb)

Adrienne Zedella

Deborah Curran

This I love. Color is great and I love the design – not sure how I’d feel about using python every day – I’d be afraid to ruin it (fb)

Nika

Adrienne Zedella

old lady bag (fb)

faith24

this is such a gorgeous bag- but a little too high maintenance (fb)

Jocelyn

It looks like a great bag. The white scares me a bit though. (fb)

This bag looks so luxurious and soft. I agree though, that it would be daunting to carry this bag due to its color. (ipad)
