We love exotics because well, they’re exotic, but this takes the jungle vibe a step further. It’s downright dangerous looking! And who doesn’t crave the element of danger every now and again?
The basic shape allows the skin to take center stage (that’s good because any additional flair would shove this over the edge), and the super-snaky effect delivers plenty of drama, which Alexander McQueen has never been known to shy away from. Come on, this is a brand whose signature is an often-bedazzled skull! Neutral elaphe looks great on an otherwise simple and smallish satchel; this organic pattern is strong enough to speak for itself.
High-gloss and in-your-face: this might be too much for some, but I happen to like nature in its most natural form, and this feels like something straight out of the jungle that belongs right on your arm. Alexander McQueen Padlock available for pre-order at Saks Fifth Avenue for $2,395 (expect shipping by October 31st).
Wear with: I like the idea of a basic boot with retro flair matched against this shiny exotic. Miu Miu’s suede platform booties are funky and simple at once. On NET-A-PORTER for $795.
