I'd rock it. Handbag as a gift? Yes, please!
But it depends on the person's style. Does the person ever wear anything snakeskin or bold printed? Do they have preference of gold or silver? Do they have anything else with metal studs or other hardware? Thinking about these elements can help gauge how much it might fit someone's personality.
Snakeskin pattern is a lot, but this bag wasn't designed to be subtle. It's meant to be fun. Good luck on your gifting!
