Default Devi Kroell Nile Perch Shoulder Bag
Devi Kroell Nile Perch Shoulder Bag

A handbag is a handbag, so any extra touch can differentiate a handbag from ordinary. Ways to get the job done would include exotic materials or updating the usual parts (like handles). Perfectly distinguishing itself from the rest, the Devi Kroell Nile Perch Shoulder Bag uses both exotic fish skin along with a shoulder strap that threads through holes and hangs in place with gold slim cylinders that act like toggle closures. Toggle closures are seen on jewelry all the time, but I have never seen this on a bag. The bag closes with a magnetic fastening and the inside has two four pockets. This is arm candy via Brown's for $2,250.88.

Isn't Nile Perch a fish?

I was going to start a thread on fish leather. It is a by-product, very environmentally friendly, resilient and doesn't smell fishy at all! It can also be glazed, or sueded (this one looks like it's sueded).

I recently bought the (glazed) Fish Scale Novak with Dragon Clasp and I actually prefer the look of the fish scale leather, used on the Novak, to reptile leather (I think the scale pockets are a nicer shape than reptile scales):

Hi there: Are you interested in selling the dragon Novak? If so, how much do you want for it?

I wish that bag were in a different color, as it is, that oatmeal color is so bland, especially considering the price.

It looks good in the pictures. The handles are very different. I'd want to see it in IRL though.
