Real Snakeskin or not?

[bagscraze]

Again, thanks everyone!!! I still cant believe that I just got my first exotic bag!! )

@Papertiger: What other Loewe items do you own? Im highly interested! )

@ Geniebottle26: I dont like Gucci at all but I do agree about their exotic pieces, esp. python. I could only wish to own one in python. sigh*

BTW, any tips on caring for something as delicate as snakeskin??

Hello! Reviving an old topic! I bought this today at a thrift shopping spree. The brand is Classiques Entier. It LOOKS like snakeskin. It feels rough and uneven surface to the touch. The strap appears to be a high quality leather. In researching the brand, I see it was carried by Nordstrom. I found similar bags for sale, one said in their selling description that it was vinyl, one said genuine snakeskin. Here are some photos of what I bought today. Any thoughts on what the material may be? Thanks in advance for any replies!!

I got some new information. An identical purse is for sale on Poshmark, and they showed a receipt showing $134 from Nordstrom. They called it "snakeskin leather pattern."
