Say you had a considerable amount of money to spend on a bag, and you were looking for an upscale holiday tote that could also earn its keep throughout the rest of the year?

Well, theoretically speaking, I think I have the answer to your spending dilemma. Introducing the always classic Nancy Gonzalez and her crocodile and python satchel.

This is a wonderful shape with gracious curves and elegant folds in the crocodile material. Now, the folds are cleanly held together with the golden python band for a geometric look. You can see the juxtaposition of organic material that is welded into feminine folds and strong lines.

The colors are perfectly neutral, serving the chameleon-like role of working with many different ensembles throughout any season. The crocodile is officially called gunmetal, and the bag has a subtle sheen that always keeps it fresh without being overly loud. This is really a smart buy at Neiman Marcus, if you happen to have $3650 hanging freely. I think this designer is an investment in a piece you can wear proudly and effortlessly for twenty years and beyond into future generations! An overstatement, you think? Well, we’ll just have to see and find out!

This is made in Columbia, and California residents? Remember, the python material will cause you to have to buy it elsewhere and bring it home to your CA address. The bag is 16″ wide, 13.5″ high, and 6″ deep — a nice size that’s roomy without being bulky.
