I owe this thread some pics.

This is actually only a small portion and doesn't include any snakeskin or new bags/wallets but it's a start with the vintage browns 1970s Mappin and Webb lizard clutch/shoulder, 1970s croc shoulder/messenger, 1960s tan croc box bag, large early 1970s croc front bag. The blacks: Mappin and Webb Alligator clutch/shoulder, 1950s lizard (shell pink leather inside) 1950s West German croc handbag with matching change purse and covered mirror, Maya in her 1950s feather hat and a grey croc/leather by Titti dell Acqua (croc handle hidden in pic) with Maya in her 1960s red fox hat.

The kiss lock frame bag and coin purse in this photo are especially divine. Are they vintage?
