I like the print better than the real thing. I've only touched one once and I got scared for some reason. :blink: Maybe I will get to see another one and touch it in person soon and maybe I'll fall in love with it.alexandrainparis said:What about the real thing? Not the print?
Kathleen37 said:Yep, I think they look fabulous when they're still on the Croc/alligator/python/sting ray etc....![]()
I do understand the appeal, as they can look lovely, but I genuinely always think of the little croc/snake etc whenever I see it, so not for me I'm afraid.

I only buy leathergoods that are a by-product of the meat industry (i.e. cow/pig/goat/ostrich etc.) and therefore, I would happily wear fish skin (Sting Ray); but not alligator, crocodile, lizard, or snake etc.
I do not wear fur products - even if they are from animals which are eaten (e.g. rabbit), due to the barbaric methods employed, in order to preserve the pelt.
This is not because I have a preference for/care more for any animal. In fact, if anything, I care slightly more for my fellow mammals, than I do for reptiles and would never keep a pet snake, as I would feel like a traitor, if I had to feed it mice.
Finally, if everyone else stopped eating meat; I wouldn't use leather at all.![]()
