Genuine exotic leather bags: the luxury that lasts a life-time !

Buying a luxury exotic leather bag once in your life, is the dream of almost every woman in the world. A python or a genuine crocodile handbag, in fact, has been always seen as the ultimate in status symbols, the best expression of high quality life and pure prestige. Our grand-mothers, many years ago, already had great respect for their images and, although they were not very rich or even comfortably off, always working very hard to give their children a dignified life, they paid attention to their look, choosing high quality accessories made of natural leather or of genuine exotic skin such as python or crocodile, which would make them look refined, elegant but, above all which would assure them comfort and durability over the years. They weren’t able to buy a fashionable bag every time they went out shopping so, once they bought a handbag, they wanted it to last and be elegant.

Today times and situations have changed, women have a different role in society than in the past and they are more likely to be able to buy a larger number of bags to go with different looks. Many women keep an enormous quantity of bags in their closets, in all different sizes and colors, probably bought at a discounted price in a shop and accumulated in the closet over the years. They are certainly nice, colorful, youthful but, they don’t fit the profile of a real handbag, as we imagine it: a refined, comfortable accessory which once worn, immediately becomes part of us and our look, a special item we are proud to display and which will be by our side for a life time.

Low quality bags are definitely more affordable in price, can be aesthetically beautiful and fashionable but they don’t assure you the resilience and durability of a high quality luxury bag, handcrafted especially for you and perfectly satisfying all your wishes. A low quality bag might last you a season or two but then something happens: the strap starts to break, the zipper needs to be changed, brass-plated hardware breaks and becomes stained. On the other hand, a high quality handbag, is doubtless more expensive but once you buy it, you can be certain that it will never abandon you, always remaining by your side, just like a faithful friend.

Genuine exotic leather too, unlike classic calf skin, will make your handbag into a precious jewel of elegance and comfort. Our grandmothers always said:  when you buy a bag, you have to buy the best! Gorgeous exotic leather is able to guarantee you the best because it is suppler and softer than normal natural leather so it allows your bag to mold to the shape of your body, creating a perfect harmony between you and your handbag. It is as if your handbag suddenly becomes part of you and of your look. Its gorgeous softness gives you a pleasant sensation of wellbeing whenever you touch it and you won’t be able to help stroking it every time you wear your bag.

The other distinction between a classic calf skin bag and a handbag made of an exotic skin such as python, crocodile or ostrich is that exotic leather absorbs the color more intensely than calf skin. If you look at two different items in the same color, you can easily see that the color absorbed by calf skin is beautiful but not as intense and vivid as the color absorbed by crocodile or python leather. They are all 100% natural leathers but when the color is applied to exotic skin it assumes new nuances, a different brightness and a more vivid intensity, also thanks to the natural design of the python skin or the gorgeous square patterned scales characterizing genuine crocodile leather. Colors also gain a magical new dimension when applied to ostrich leather because, as you know, ostrich skin is dotted with the so-called follicles, which once colored, assume a darker gradation than the base color of the bag, creating an incredible gorgeous contrast which further enhances the extraordinary beauty and refinement of this leather.

However, the most substantial difference between a classic leather bag and an item made of prestigious exotic skin is in the weight. A python bag or a crocodile hobo is considerably lighter than a similar design of bag made of calf skin. This difference is due to the different weight of these two kinds of leathers. You can certainly test it for yourself. Visit a leather shop and try wearing a leather bag on your right shoulder and the same model in python or crocodile skin on your left shoulder. You will immediately notice the difference and that it is considerable. It might be irrelevant if you are interested in buying a small clutch to clasp in the hand, but if you are intending to buy a tote bag and fill it with all your personal things, you will certainly notice this difference on your shoulder!!!! That means that wearing a luxury exotic bag is not only synonym of prestige, class and pure refinement, but it is also far more comfortable for you and for your back, because it doesn’t burden you with so much weight and both you and your back don’t have to suffer!!!!

Remember too that, as we said above, buying a luxury exotic leather bag is an investment for the future, because an exotic leather bag is created to last for many years, always retaining that beauty and softness which characterizes a high-quality product. Its price is certainly considerable but it is equivalent to its value because behind the finished bag there is skilful workmanship and many experienced craftsmen who know their job perfectly and create these bags with passion and patience, paying attention to every detail, to every stitch, in order to create a product which is the perfect mix of elegance and fine traditional craftsmanship. Your handbag will be yours forever, because just like the best of friends, it will always be ready to help you, wherever you take it, making sure that you look gorgeous and elegantly seductive. This is the power of a luxury exotic bag!!!!
