I never thought I would say this, but crocodile is sadly and shockingly starting to feel just a little mundane. Until now! Nancy Gonzalez’s latest tote, in ombré shades of blazing sapphire, is the fresh fix I need when it comes to the decadent exotic.
The graduated shades of blue, one more striking than the next and totally organic in feel, is the perfect way to showcase croc – and put its natural lines and ridges in the spotlight it deserves. But it wouldn’t have the same great impact without the unusual structure. Angular yet round, it’s got mysterious allure. Which is just what my crocodile was missing at the moment. I should have known Nancy would come to the rescue. At Brown’s Fashion for $4,640 (£2,870).
Pair with: Keep it classy with Jimmy Choo’s pointy-toed Volt slingbacks. A splash of lime green, with a strip of deep blue, will energize the gloomiest of days. On Net-a-Porter
