Show me some skin: Let's see your exotics!

[JNH14]

Snakes creep me out-I could never carry one. After reading how they kill the pythons in another thread...in good conscience I don't think I could buy one, but I like the styles of the bag!

I'm not a huge fan of exotics, but I love this Gucci 1973: http://www.gucci.com/us/styles/251821E5L9T1191#

I never thought I would own exotic's due to price point and required care...





If anyone has any info on this last bag... I would appreciate it..

Hi everybody! I'd like to share some info about the vintage Escort exotics. Here's a page from a new book, "Exotic Skin: Alligator and Crocodile Handbags" that features 2 Escort handbags (black alligator ca 1960s and brown Tegu lizard ca 1950s). The lizard is similar to yours. You'll find about 800 pics of beautiful collectible bags (500+), lovely ads from vintage Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, and very extensive info on history, makers, trends, various skins and prices. Beautiful and informative!

Oh I am so excited, I am going to add pics of my bags. I am newbie but I have found some pretty good handbags. My problem is distinguishing the skin, so if anyone can help I would really appreciate it. I love this thread and your bags are absolutely beautiful!

 

[Raven3766]

Okay so here are my skins...
This one reminds me of the previous post; I didn't know the name of it, but now I guess it is an Escort?
