i have a crocodile bag, by Rinkel. They are more moderatley priced, and my bag is really gorgeous. I've only used it a few times, I'm sort of afraid to with the rainy weather we've been having. I've heard the only thing with exotics is DO NOT get them wet. so you just have to be careful.
Nancy Gonzalez is a great choice for an exotic, also check out Rinkel, if you want to save a bit, or Michael Kors has some gorgeous exotics, with interiors lined in metallic leather. or Adriana Castro.
