Nancy Gonzalez Python skin in fantastic white
Nancy Gonzalez is a designer that is certainly starting to attract a lot of attention both here in the UK and across the pond. It’s always great to see new designers really strike out on their own instead of being just another Prada or Gucci copycat and as you can see from the Python handbag above by her it’s definitely unique.
It’s worth saying that Python is still a relatively unique material in the fashion world as so many designers just don’t seem to know what to do with it. It almost seems the case will all eccentric skins these days as they sometimes seem to want to hide what it really is. As you can see from the picture this Python bag screams at you what it is from the very first glance as the skin pattern is about as bold as it gets. I also really love the colour gradient that’s going on too. For some reason purple and white reminds me of Miami Vice and 80s in general, it’s not necessarily a bad thing though as we all know the 80s are coming back in a big way.
£1800 is quite reasonable for a Python bag in my opinion as it’s a style and material becoming more popular by the day. One reason for the low price I’m told is that Nancy Gonzalez actually has her own snake farms to acquire her own skins and thus keep the price down (I wonder if she goes in to catch them too?). I know I have featured many exotic skin handbags here but I have a feeling this one is going to remain a firm favourite for some time to come. One problem I do foresee is the old availability problem as over 3 of the big handbag online shops (you know who they are) already seem to be out of stock either due to the low production runs or just plain demand from lovers of great handbags
