TREND: PYTHON SKIN

What’s ‘hardcore’ in the world of accessories? Something fierce and dark that requires extreme craftsmanship, which comes from an exotic nature and screams luxurious at first glance… there we have the python.

Chic aside, the bag is rich in texture with gold accents, it has been seen hanging on the arms of Hollywood style icons like Mary-kate Olsen and Katie Holmes.


Renown avantgardist Maison Martin Margiela has also created a faux python blazer and for his fall show, he had models stomping down the runway in python knee high boots.

However, controversy started last year when Kylie Mininogue and Eva Longoria Parker sported python skin bags in 2007. 

Animal rights protesters say the skinning method of pythons is cruel and unregulated, and claim that the fashion industry is bringing larger snakes to the brink of extinction.
