Shoes & Handbags - All About Handbags

Reptiles & amphibians were very noticeable on the Spring/Summer 2010 runway - the most notable collection from Alexander McQueen. "Plato's Atlantis" was a dreamy underwater world of glorious colour with fish scale and psychedelic python prints.

And now one of the most luxurious handbag trends this season is snakeskin & python effects - you can find quite the selection of eye-catching colour, as well as subtle nude & neutral shades (which remains the biggest trend of the new season). The largest selection of python & snakeskin comes from Jimmy Choo - the iconic brand updated signature handbags in dazzling python.. both the Odette and Saba are available in new reptile embossed prints.

Traditional snakeskin is neutral & brown, but that doesn't mean you can't find stunning bursts of colour. Pauric Sweeney has a fabulous statement pink patchwork python bag shown below, and even Lanvin got into the reptile game with a soft metallic python bag. More below..

When choosing your own snakeskin/python effect bag, keep the colours bright, or natural, or soft metallic. These bags are designed to match your summer whites, so keep it as light as possible! Foley & Corrina's Metallic Snake Mid City Tote (shown below) is almost sold out at Shopbop - considering it's a new season item, that tells us everything we need to know about the popularity of this trend!
