Rarely a girl can fearlessly touch a snake. The appearance of reptiles often causes genuine fear. However, python leather bags are one of the most luxurious accessories.
Features
Snake leather accessories belong to the category of expensive, elite items. This unusual product has its own characteristics that distinguish it from a number of other handbags.
Python skin is very soft. Masters like to work with it, because such material is flexible and malleable. Over time, the python bag does not lose its appearance, but becomes even more pleasant to the touch. Such material allows designers to fully realize their fantasies, creating masterpieces that are unlike each other.
For tailoring of pythonous products, the back and abdominal part of the snake skin is used. They differ in the different size and shape of scales. Reptile patterns are unique, like fingerprints. Therefore, each thing becomes unique.
There are also disadvantages in python leather bags. This material does not tolerate prolonged contact with water and direct sunlight. Therefore, you will not take it with you for a summer walk and you need to watch it in the rain. Once a week, the bag should be treated with a product for leather goods and then it will last for many years.
Models
Python bags are in the collections of accessories of many fashion houses. Original, stylish and luxurious looks a model with a silver sheen from Roberto Cavalli.

Far from every girl can afford a large python bag. Therefore, models of small purses, cosmetic bags and clutches are very popular. And the compact accessory with a snake ornament is not so striking. With bags of large volume, you should be more thoughtful - the accessory must be suitable in color and style, otherwise an expensive thing risks looking ridiculous.
How to choose?
Snake skin is a very expensive material. It is very often forged and sold cheap products at incredible prices. Not every haberdashery store provides accessories from this material. The easiest way to order such a thing through online shopping. However, this significantly increases the risk of stumbling on a fake. Therefore, such a bag must be purchased exclusively from trusted suppliers.
If you have the opportunity to purchase an accessory in the store - it is better to go there. It is possible to distinguish natural skin from artificial only by touch.
- The skin of python has a scaly structure. Each scale is like a separate element on the surface. For fakes often use the skin of a calf, stamping a pattern resembling a reptile. Trying to hide a fake by imitating a snake color. But if you try to pick up the scale with your nail, then it will not work or it will be too thick.
- The product turns out very soft, but durable. You can in an inconspicuous place to try to tear off the scales. If it stays in place, then the python bag is genuine.
- Reptile skin heats up quickly. Even if you press your palm for a few seconds, the surface will begin to heat up. Artificial material will remain cold.
Due to the unique pattern of scales, it is impossible to come across two identical bags. If there are several identical models on a shelf in a store, then it is safe to say that this is a cheap stamping.
Before you choose any particular bag, you should think in advance what will be stored in it. Python skin can stretch, so the bag can not be overloaded. This is especially true for large models. They look incredibly stylish, but fill the entire volume is not recommended.
