Ok found them via Facebook! The prices seems too good to be true! Love the mint green. :)

Haha Soxx... you're too funny! I'm sure they would do shipping internationally as well even if you were not in Singapore... if they don't... then they should!

The mint green is very nice. I just got one for myself, and the other as a gift for my friend!

I just saw a Chanel python skin bag in another thread, and that bag is to die for! Am so afraid to ask for the price of that bag! Would probably cost an arm and a leg!

@ vesna: Do you live in LA? Because it seems like there is a ban on python skin there ... its apparently "not allowed". Just found this out the hard way because I thought ild buy one of these Saul At Play clutches for my good friend and post it across to her. I figured it'll be a good gift since its flat and light right? But the lady at the post office said that it wouldn't get through the US customs!! Came home and googled this, and I found out that python skin is OK in the rest of the US, except for California.

ps: ok maybe thats not the hard way... the hard way would be if i personally brought it to LA and got my face pelted with eggs because of my python skin bag....

I am in Canada and have no clue whether it is banned or not...perhaps it is...I bough the bag online from Portero, and perhaps they did not declare it as python, it went through with no problem years ago :graucho:

Beautiful collection of python bags! I love all of the colors.

Doreenjoy's Ferragamo clutch is TDF! I'm a huge Ferragamo fan.:love:

I love python and all exotic skins really, but only own one python at the moment. I obsessed over a Chloe python Marcie, but never bought it because I worried how the python would wear as an everyday bag. I've heard some people say that python isn't for everyday use. How do yours hold up?

The only one I have is a small bag that I rarely use and it's only for going out to dinner, movies, etc. Here it is:

My bag has held up really well and I used it continuously for more than 3 months, even putting a computer in it at times. I think it really does depend on the quality of the skin.

As other people noted, I don't mind a little bit of lifting (not too much) but just enough to show some texture (which is part of the way a genuine skin looks different from an embossed one.)

Anyway, i think its not so simple to do international shipping for exotic skin bags. Never done it before but tried getting from USA and they said take ages like 3mths for recipient to receive,so dropped the idea.

Lol! I'm 'handicapped' coz I got a Chanel python jumbo recently too.

Thank you. I love that the bag is a greyish gunmetal, more on the silver side, but the chain is gold, so I can wear it with either gold or silver shoes and jewelry.

Your Jerome Dreyfuss Franky bag is stunning. I love the combo of python and leather trim - it adds some interesting detail.

Well, now I definitely need an everyday python bag!

When I bought my python the SA at Gucci told me that moisturizing the skin will help the scales to lay flat again because they often lift up from dryness, although I'm sure the lifting is also from wear and tear too. I just bought a product from Lovin My Bags that is made specifically for exotic skins and delicate leathers and I used it on my python bag with nice results. It didn't remove any of the metallic finish and just brightened the bag up a little with a little extra shine.

I read something on here about preventing raised scales by putting python in the fridge! Too scared to try it though. I think I will stick to conditioners although the SA at Jerome Dreyfuss said not to over-condition it. He thought once a year was enough.
