Crocodile stamped leather is on my radar. I don’t need or want the real thing, so faux is fine with me. Technique has improved vastly over the years and the mock-effect looks authentic. I’ve already purchased the Toteme boots I posted on Instagram the other day and now I’m narrowing in on a belt. My favorite is from The Row. As far as bags, a little goes a long way, so I’ll stick with styles on the smaller side. Black and deep brown appear the most luxurious to my eye. Adding just one piece to an outfit introduces a modern vibe with a nod to vintage…a look I absolutely love.

This is a great post! Looking at the weejuns. What style do you recommend right now? Classic or lug sole?
Karima
I like both! It depends on how you like to dress. I think the lug sole offers a little funk.

I have a gorgeous Black croc Ladies Purse from Mansur Gavriel, and I love it! I never fail to receive compliments when I use it.
It definitely is a great classic piece to have whichever color, black or brown.

Lovely! Aren’t you glad you kept it?
Wanda Rawski
Yes! For sure.

Nili Lotan just launched a line of deluxe purses this week and they are mostly black croc. Gorgeous!
