New slouch in Python skin by Carlos Falchi

Python-Slouch

Ive always liked slouch bags mainly because they can look great but always stay comfortable at the same time. What i really like about this Carlos Falchi Python bag is the way this material looks on the surface. I have to admit that im not a great fan of animal skins in general on bags (oh wait leather lol) but i suppose Python isn’t an endangered species is it? Even if the RSPCA doesn’t approve i think this skin really does look amazing on this bag and takes things to a whole new exotic level. One thing that i have always worried about this these “scaly” bags is the scales flaking off due to wear and tear but i have heard good things about Carlos Falchi as they are considered specialists in exotic skins in fashion so hopefully know what they are doing with this hobo.

The colour in light brown is really natural and i think the overall look doesn’t stand out too much (a bad thing?). Also it is quite a big bag as you got a 12” drop from the zip to the bottom so it does fulfil the primary purpose of any slough and that’s to be able to carry alot of stuff around (if necessary). As you can expect with any exotic hobo/slough the price is pretty exotic too at around £2000. Still for something as special as Python skin i think its worth the price as you are buying a handbag that is sure to be as timeless as it looks.

New slouch leather from Chloe

chloe

So i just realised i have yet to have a “real” Chloe bag on my blog. So to make amends here is a new slouch bag in red leather which i am starting to really like. It has triangle pulls on the zips and a red tassel on the end. The best thing about this bag is it just looks like you want to mess around with it straight away with all the compartments and folds.

Also it looks really comfortable as my first thought was this will be a great day to day bag to carry around the essentials. It does seem to have alot of room inside with several compartments of different sizes. I do think that Chloe has a great reputation for designer bags but i haven’t seen anything i really like in the last few seasons. However i think this is a really great move back into the mainstream market for them as this designer bag is going to appeal to alot of different people. I hope to include more every day handbags on this blog in the future as i think while we all aspire to the couture evening bags there is always a need for the practical side of things too!

Around £350 on the highstreet
