Default it's raining pythons! i have pics!!

ok so i've been swearing up and down that if i could snag all of the old python inventory i will be moving with my bags and maybe DH to a remote village in mongolia so that i can't shop anymore (esp since the pythons in 08 will be going up by some 20% and i can't really justify those prices)--my collection will be DONE DONE DONE and there will be no more holy grail left to pursue (but what about that grey alligator tote, says the lil voice in my head...but let's not digress).

so the last few days i've been on a scavenger hunt and two bags have just trickled in...may I present Exhibit A:

gray/silver/blackish python with the most TDF chain in the world. also works as a clutch when you tuck the chain inside:

Exhibit B is a dark beige (looks more like brown with specks of bronze/gold) flap with tassel:







SA whispered sweetly in my ear that this bag also comes in d silver and khaki (bronze).

OMG , I totally LOVE all your python bags ! What a great collection you have, and I like how the one in the first picture is a larger size. It looks roomy.
