Python’s in this Season

Animal prints come and go, with snakeskin and leopard prints popping up at the end of every decade or so. So, with that pattern of fashion, it’s no surprise that snakeskin is back in, with Lipstick Jungle star Lindsey Price recently spotted with a python-print handbag. The picture of Price with the handbag can be seen on blog Celebrity Arm Candy.

As far as this bag is concerned, this pattern both permeates the designer, replica, and no-name handbag markets. Why is python, and all snakeskin patterns for that matter, popular at the moment? Aside from the cyclical nature of fashion, bright colors and patterns are in at the moment, with lines like Coach designing both adult and teen-geared collections with bright blues, pinks, and oranges or using a patent leather finish on the bags. Or, on the other hand, you have the Ed Hardy collection, with bright tattoo patterns, embellished with rhinestones, on either a dark field to stand out or on another brightly-colored field. In the case of the python print handbag from Best Handbag Wholesale, as seen on the left, the handbag itself isn’t even only python print but python print tinted with blue. Other options on the website include the same pattern fully tinted with lavender or partially with fuchsia or purple.

If you’re looking for a python handbag on a designer level, the handbag, or clutch will probably be made of real python skin while replica handbags and designer-inspired handbags will probably be made of leather or pleather and printed with a python pattern, such as the bag from Best Handbag Wholesale. Some bags, such as the ones seen in this picture – and the one seen on Lindsey Price – have a natural python skin pattern to them, while others – real or printed – use or mimic the pattern of the python’s scales and tint it partially or fully with a different – and brighter – shade.
