Trend Alert: Snakeskin Handbags

Valentino Snakeskin Satchel

This fall, jazzing up your wardrobe would be so easy when you accessorize with a snakeskin handbag. Most preferably the faux kind, snakeskin handbags are classic go-to pieces these days and they can quickly turn an average-looking outfit into something more stylish and fashionable.

Here are three different bags, from high-end to low-end, featuring the trendy snakeskin style:

Red, sexy and fiery, this bag is called the One-of-a-Kind Snakeskin Satchel from Valentino and it truly lives up to its name. The bag comes in glossy red snakeskin material and is accented by golden hardware. It comes with two double straps and a unique top handle.

Neiman Marcus is selling this for $2985.

YSL Top Handle Fabric Bag

This gorgeous classic is YSL’s Top Handle Fabric bag. This piece is chic and classy. I like how the bag is designed so that you can carry and use it so effortlessly. And the thing about this bag is that it’s not exactly made from actual snakeskin. This is a fabric bag woven together to appear like it has that snakeskin texture. And I think that it’s a pretty great idea, considering no animal had to die to be able to become this bag.

This piece is priced at $1295 at YSL.

Snakeskin Clutch

I really love how simple but elegant this clutch’s design is. I also love that it’s only $79.90! The snakeskin leather is faux, of course. But the bag looks really smashing and first-rate.

Stella McCartney Structured Shoulder Bag as Seen On Angelina Jolie

Stella McCartney Structured Shoulder Bag

This really simple structured shoulder bag was spotted on Angelina Jolie recently as the actress went around Budapest to do her charity work.

This functional looking handbag is made of faux leather, or vegan leather in fact, and it’s quite tone down in style. The design is clean and polished and while the handbag may look really sturdy and tough it’s actually very supple. It looks very basic and simple, but it carries a price tag of about $1195. I love that the piece is timeless and can be worn over and over. It makes a good investment.

  • Black vegan-friendly faux leather (polyester/polyurethane).
  • Golden curb-chain shoulder strap with leather inset; 9″ drop.
  • Flap top with magnetic snap button closure.
  • Structured, square body holds all the essentials.
  • Three-compartment interior for optimal organization.
  • Logo jacquard lining; inside zip and open pockets.
  • 9 1/2″H x 11 1/2″W x 5″W.
  • Made in Italy.

You can get this piece at Neiman Marcus.
