Source for Crocodile bags

debe · Oct 24th, 2007, 04:39 PM

Does anyone out there have a source for crocodile handbags? I simply cannot afford to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a designer croc bag. I would like to purchase something classic, not too trendy, can spend up to $2,000 or so. Online source preferred. Found "crocolux.com", they have designer knock-offs, but have an excellent customer rating on e-bay. Thanks.

Crocodile skins are expensive. That's why there are relatively few genuine croc bags out there. As you probably already know, there are tons of embossed leather bags made to look like crocodile. It's unlikely you will find an online source that sells the real deal cheap.

debe, i share your pain. i think its quite extreme to buy a ten of thousand dollars handbag. i bought some purses from this site fareastreptile.com. they do genuine crocodile and ostrich purses at reasonable prices. i got them to custom some of my purses.

I know of an excellent source for real crocodile and python handbags.she is starting small and her inventory goes fast!!!! I know they are real and of good quality. Go to .....www.retts.shutterfly.com. You can see a few crocodile bags and python and recovered horn jewelery. Beautiful,you won't be sorry. It changes weekly.

I know of a great place, go to:

www.vintageskins.com

She has a wide variety of skins, croc, gator, snake, you name it. I have bought from her and she has great service and fast shipping. Her bags are mostly vintage and many are within your price range.

I also know what you mean - genuine croc is fabulous but very expensive. Let us know how you get on (and good luck!)

i have a source in germany who sells vintage authentic crocodile handbags.
he buys them from estate sales. they are all in mint condition. it seems that, though used, these women who possessed them only used them for special occasions. if you're interested, feel free to send him a message at germanvintage@yahoo.com. you can let him know that i referred you. :) keep us posted with how things work out. :)

I have seen several Nancy Gonzalez bags on eBay for less than $2k as a starting bid.

Ladysalesrep --- per your suggestion, I tried vintageskins.com yesterday.

I am blown away thus far, with the selection, pricing, and amazing customer service. After I receive my bag - and if it turns out to be as good as I think it will be - I will definitely be making a post about this company.

Thanks for posting the site!
