Snakes and other reptiles have a skin covered in scales. Being entirely covered with scales or scutes of various shapes and sizes, snakes periodically moult their scaly skins and acquire new ones. Snakeskin with its highly periodic cross-hatch or grid patterns appeals to people with aesthetics and are used to manufacture many leather articles including fashionable purses and accessories.
The use of snake-skin in manufacture of purses and other articles has led to large-scale killing of snakes, giving rise to advocacy for use of artificial snake-skin. Known as faux snakeskin these purses look as real and classy to have become a mainstay for snakeskin handbags. Available as super luxe snakeskin they are actually more reasonably priced for the look of an exotic skin handbag.
Snakeskin handbags can be quite functional for work or play. They make fantastic clutch purses too and are great as evening accessories simply to carry a lipstick, credit card and keys. These purses with snakeskin effect pattern in natural colors are very attractive. Often the push release clasps are adorned and bedecked and the metal frame may be made of silver or brass. Beautifully lined they may have open pockets or zip front pockets for credit card slots.
For cleaning purses experts do not advocate using any type of product on snakeskin which is quite fragile. Over time, scales will begin to lift. When that happens, you can have the bag lacquered, but the treatment may change the appearance of the scales.
