There are most likely two reasons why you do not own a crocodile handbag. Reason number one is that you are vehemently against the use of crocodile to make a handbag. Reason number two, which I fall into, is because you flat out can’t afford this luxury. Personally, I wish I fell into category number one. That would mean I just don’t want a croc bag. But in all reality, I pine for one. Hopefully that day will be soon, but if you fall into either categories there are bags out there that are embossed or have a pattern that looks like croc even though it is not the real thing. No worries, I won’t tell. Take the Yves Saint Laurent Medium Downtown Tote for example, which shows off quilted patent leather fused in a crocodile pattern. Looks convincing enough, sports trendy patent leather, and is in a very trendy bag. The Downtown Tote has been a favorite of many celebs because of its versatility and great shape. Brass hardware is used, along with an inside pocket, and lush suede and satin lining. Dimensions are 17″W X 14″H X 7″D. If you can’t truly croc, then try a faux-croc like this. Via Saks for $1895.
Love it. I am wondering though, why are Nancy Gonzales’ crocodile bags so affordable? Is there a difference in quality in croc skins??Does anyone know, cause I am craving a croc bag so much (Dior Gaucho croc is my unaffordable dream)but I am torn between something like the YSL and the colorful ones Nancy Gonzales has out.
i definitely fall in category #1.
so this is the closest thing to the “REAL” thing..
i say this is “HOT”
That is a very good alternative, but I still prefer the regular version with the zippered pocket. The downtown is my current favorite.
Are people the who are against croc skin also against leather? Or is croc an entirely different animal rights category? I’ve always wondered this.
hi,
do you know if what colours it comes in?? does the croco one come in dark brown?
thanks!!
hello do you have same design but different leather, shiny leather black or choclate brown or dark green? thanks i need to buy two of them urgently.
