Reed Krakoff Python Pumps

Filed under: Shoes

Krakoff's Python Pumps ($725) are both conservative and deceptively sexy. The minimally styled d'Orsay pump says classic and wearable while a matted python finish expresses a stylish edge. Available in black and flax (off white), both colors would look incredibly chic with a perfectly fitting suit for the office or bring out your vampy seductive side with a waist cinching 50s style dress that falls right below the knee. Either way, Krakoff's Python Heels will make any outfit unforgettable. Heel measurement: 4 inches.

Styled in a neutral taupe and adorned with a complementing python strip on the flap closure, this timeless clutch can be paired with everyday casual outfits or glam it up for a night out on the town.

Akkesoir Python Fannie Pack Shoulder Bag

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

As its name reflects, the Akkesoir Python Fannie Pack Shoulder Bag ($787) combines classic accents with not so current trends. This unusual looking bag is styled in either pink or black python, Akkesoir's small shoulder bag is styled into a fanny pack shape with a jumbled mixed metal shoulder strap. Although very functional, the traditional fanny pack is not the most flattering bag to wear, but by adding a shoulder strap you luckily do not have to endure a bulky bag around your waist. It's difficult to say whether or not Akkesoir's Fanny Pack Shoulder Bag is a wearable and stylish accessory, however, with all of its accents, you certainly take notice.

Jerome Dreyfuss Max Python Tote, Handbag of the Day

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Jerome Dreyfuss makes practical bags that are both very wearable and fashion forward. His use of color and texture enhance his accessories resulting in a balance between being a statement bag that immediately grab your attention while remaining wearable for day to day use.

Even if the big bag trend is dying and lady like purses have become all the rage, I'm a woman that carries a multitude of items on any given day and would rather carry one large bag than several little bags. I appreciate Dreyfuss for still designing stylish large bags.

The latest Dreyfuss bag that I'm lusting over is his Emerald Green Python Tote ($3135). The color is vibrant and eye popping, yet it's not obnoxious and won't dominate your outfit. Python skin is beautiful on its own accord but is further enhanced in emerald green.

A roomy interior with a zip pocket will be more than sufficient for your belongings, but if you require additional space, Dreyfuss' Tote can become large by unzipping the sides and there are two exterior zippered pockets with a buckle strap accent. There are double python handles and a shoulder strap which is accented with rope for an unexpected detail.

Exotic Handbags by Jilly New York

Filed under: Handbags

Simple elegance never goes out of style yet it can be difficult to find. It's easy to get caught up in trends and the latest it-'fill in the blank' without taking into consideration what you really want. And I can safely say we all want an item that will stand the test of time; one that we will use and wear for years on end.

And that is the philosophy of Jilly New York. Their motto: Quiet Luxury. Classic Elegance. Exotic Beauty. You can't go wrong with designing from such a sound foundation. Creative Designer Jill Haber says she was inspired by the "desire to find gorgeous handbags that are not embellished with overbearing, heavy hardware or logos. I thought that gorgeous, exotic skin
was the perfect canvas to create easy, chic pieces that complement a woman's style, rather than dictate it."

It would be incredibly difficult to go unnoticed when wearing this bold python and gold necklace by KARA by Kara Ross. And why would you want to? This unique necklace is stunningly beautiful and needs to be properly displayed for all to see.

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Chloe Paraty Medium Python Bag is great for those looking for a unique neutral to brighten up a fall ensemble. Off-white python and gold hardware give the paraty tote an exotic update. It looks like a fold-over flap style but that piped panel on the front doesn't move and there's actually just a simple zipper along the top for closure. Other features include turn-lock adjustable sides for extra room, wide double top handles, a detachable shoulder strap, and an interior lined in black cotton twill. A great way to carry an exotic skin this fall and year round. $3,795

Lanvin Python Sandal

Filed under: Shoes

I first came across Lanvin's Python Sandals during the Fall/Winter 2010 runway show and fell in love. Now that I found them for purchase I'm beside myself with excitement. Unfortunately with a price tag of $2175, I won't be purchasing them anytime soon but I'm sure for those who can afford it are going to thoroughly enjoy them.

Lanvin's Sandals are made with jet black python with cut outs at the vamp and near the ankle resulting in a super sexy, undercover devilish look. Python provides these sexy heels with texture and natural adornments against a very dark color. No need to add anything else. If you wanted to highlight Lanvin's Sandals sex appeal, wear with a skirt, dress or even shorts (with tights) and show off your legs. But these could work just as well with straight or wide leg trousers or jeans for a subtle sexy look. Heel measurement: 4 1/2" with a 1" platform.

Salmon Skin Upholstery - All the Rage for Eco-Friendly Superyachts

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Yachts & Sailing, Green

Some people find the very idea of an "eco-friendly superyacht" simply ridiculous. If you're willing to accept that a floating monument to conspicuous consumption can somehow be good for the environment however, you'll probably agree that it should have a decor to match. Hence the growing trend in "guilt-free" luxury furnishings designed to take the edge off all that over-spending. The latest of these is salmon skin leather (above), being touted as an environmentally-friendly, ecologically sound and cruelty-free upholstery suitable for the finest superyacht interiors. The leader in the field is a German company called Nanai, which sources the skins from fish raised on certified organic salmon farms in Ireland.

With an appearance similar to python skin, salmon hide looks convincingly like exotic leather when vegetable-tanned and dyed (and deodorized). It's light and thin, yet durable and resistant to tearing. As the skins form a by-product of the salmon industry, the fish are not specifically bred or killed for the stuff – which might keep eco-crusaders happy if they weren't opposed to salmon farming to begin with. It remains to be seen whether oligarchs like Roman Abramovich will send their superyachts back to have their stingray and alligator upholstery swapped for salmon skin. Cue the cracks about "something fishy" but don't hold your breath.

Fendi Python Skin Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Fendi Python Skin Clutch ($2720) is ultra sleek and sophisticated. It has a clean and minimal design with complimentary understated accents. And with such a 'below the radar' look, it is classic enough to be paired with any outfit throughout the year. The frame clutch is made with python leather offering a gorgeous texture and embodies a deep rich color that at times it's hard for me to decipher if it's black or navy blue – or perhaps I'm color blind as my husband tells me all the time. One of my favorite parts of this clutch is the tiny logo inscription on the ash wood and plexi handle. It is a discrete touch to an elegant bag.

Pauric Sweeney Painted Stripe Python Bowler, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Pauric Sweeney Painted Stripe Python Bowler is a flashy new take on a classic.

This luscious python bag is 9 1/2"H x 15"W x 6"D -- doesn't it seem too pretty to be so roomy? Though it's eye-catching, it's remarkably neutral; a perfect complement for black, brown, grey or a color, and a equally fetching for a jeans day or a fabulous dinner date. The black, silver and brown python skin is accented with gleaming silvertone hardware and comfortable brown calfskin.

Perhaps the most extravagant detail of this clutch is the stripes. Those horizontal black lines are painted directly onto the python skin, giving the bag an artsy, customized look.

The Pauric Sweeney Painted Stripe Python Bowler is available from Neiman Marcus for $2,160.00.

Gucci GG Running Large Python Tote, Handbag of the Day

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

The Gucci GG Running Large Python Tote is a must-have this summer for its prairie girl appeal and its rich texture will stand up through the fall season, as well. No wonder you're not allowed to order more than three of them every 30 days.

This bag breathes comfortable elegance with its perfect python surface, luxurious goldtone hardware, the logo embossed zipper pull, the demure leather belt and the chocolate brown lining. The charming, slender handles drop just 6½ inches to the 18"W X 13"H X 7"D body of the bag, making it easy and attractive to carry.

The python tote is an exceptionally versatile bag; its color seems casual at first look, but the luxe texture is unmistakably extravagant, making it appropriate for everything from a quaint picnic to a ritzy dinner party.

The Gucci GG Running Large Python Tote is available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $3,100.00.

Alexander McQueen De Manta Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

One of my favorite all time bags from the late Alexander McQueen is his De Manta Clutch. We originally featured the De Manta clutch in its eye popping psychedelic colorway and unique pattern, but we couldn't help ourselves and had to feature his more subdued and wearable version. Set in chocolate brown python leather, this bag is just as gorgeous as its colorful counterpart. My favorite characteristic is its distinctive shape, which seems to have an animalistic quality. Strangely enough, it reminds me of a bird with its wings stretched out ready to fly away into the skies.

The De Manta Clutch ($1012) has a curved stitched accent along the back and understated McQueen logo patch in the front. The magnetic fold-down corners are not only decorative but functional too. Once opened, you're able to unzip the top zipper to the edges giving you full range of use to stuff whatever you may need. The minimal adornments beautifully complement McQueen's clutch resulting in the perfect understated and fashionable bag.

It's as though the Handbag Angels wrapped this perfectly beautiful Villador bag in a bow just for you. Well, perhaps not, but it doesn't keep us from thinking that this would make the perfect just-because-I-love-you gift, if someone had a spare $5,446. Made with python in an understated pale yellow, the Giant Bow Tote Bag is minimally adorned with blue piping and an over-sized bow for an ultra feminine and flirty touch. It features an interior and an exterior zippered pocket. The Villador Giant Bow Bag is the ultimate investment handbag and would look perfect with anything.
