Clutch it like Samantha! VBH on SATC 2
I am stalking the girls on SATC 2 this week. The bags, the jewels, the shoes! It’s all so very exciting! Samantha (I call them by the fictitious names as if they were my friends, yes I need help) clutched a fabulous VBH yesterday– the Palm Clutch in Shocking Mastice Drip Python (even the name … Continue reading “Clutch it like Samantha!

FENDI Skunk Fur Bag
Are we out of skins to use for bags? You know, like leather, crocodile, python– what, no good anymore? So now we have to resort to road kill?

I’m also … Continue reading “Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Striped Tote”

The Curious Case of the “Python” Birkin
I have been an avid Hermes bag collector for almost 13 years and continually educate myself on the skins, the styles and colors each season. I was always told that Hermes stays away from python skin (not snob worthy enough for bags, but Hermes is making python shoes next season!) so imagine my surprise when I came upon this photo of Karina Smirnoff with a python Birkin!!!
