Most exotic athletes come from scaly creatures that you never want to meet alive. A wider variety, such as crocodiles, alligator and snakes, becomes large enough to eat a small child or pet. Less dangerous exotics include eels, rays, lizards and ostrich. Exotic skins used in luxury goods for their beauty and rarity fit into the order of luxury and exclusivity.
Of all the exotic crocodile and alligator are the most luxurious with the Australian porous crocodile and the North American alligator topping the list. This is followed by a Nile crocodile, followed by a modest crocodile. It's hard to tell a crocodile from an alligator. Alligator scales are more square and regular than the crocodile, and the crocodile has a tiny almost imperceptible channel on each scale. Looking at each one, you may wonder why someone will pay for a porous crocodile or alligator above the caiman. Side-by-side, the alligator's luxury eclipses the caiman, like a true quality stone, superior to CZ. Experts will tell you the only way to make sure that you are looking for a genuine alligator or a genuine crocodile. labels on the product. Price indicator is another indicator. Every time he says embossed croco & # 39; or croco skin. these are just embossed cows.
The highest quality ostrich comes from South Africa, where the Ostrich is grown for its meat. The ostrich industry is flourishing in Israel, but it still does not provide the quality of South Africa. Ostrich skin is soft and elastic with a beautiful pattern. The ostrich leg is also used in luxury items. Only the diamond-shaped area on the back of the skin has full feathers. The edges of the quill area have smaller feathers and are called half-peaks. The entire abdomen is smooth, without feathers. Top quality bags will be made with a full feather. only. High-quality bags use a translucent pouch for gussets and trim. No feather is considered a crowbar, even if it is beautiful, durable leather is durable. The brand of high-quality handbag uses only full and translucent of the best skins and draws attention to the symmetry and direction of the feathers. There is an ostrich embossed leather. Look for the label and expect to pay a luxurious price for real ostriches.
The Tagus and Lizard rings are next in luxurious exotic skin, a cool order with a tag that is considered slightly above the ring. The large-scale picture is similar to an alligator and a crocodile, but much more subtle. From the point of view of design and production, the lizard hardly works. The skin is reliably small, up to 38 cm or 15 inches wide at its widest point. Most skins are narrower at one end than others. For the manufacture of handbags, it is difficult to find skins that are large enough that are flawless. Usually, the skins are cut out and gathered together to make an exquisite handbag.
Python is the most popular snake skin used today for luxury handbags. There are many snakes in this world, including the anaconda, the adder, the cobra and the karung. Snake is reliably cheap and easy to use. It is available in many beautiful patterns and colors from daytime glow, to metallic and black and white. It comes with a width of 10-12 inches and a length of 9 or 10 feet. Not an animal that you want to meet in the wild, but stunning, turned into a handbag.
Next come exclusively luxurious, rather than luxurious exotic, such as the slope, eel, fish and frog. Sting ray has a texture, such as pebbled glass, and it is very difficult to work with it. The eel is light and strong, but it demagnetizes your credit cards. The frog is completely ugly with irregular warts. The idea of making a bag of fish skin is good ... not what I want.
In the world of luxury bags there is a hierarchical order with a crocodile and alligator at the top. The order is determined by the deficit and the market. When you see a bag with a crocodile of Hermes, it is made from a porous crocodile of Australia, not a cayman crocodile. I can't resist this cliché:
See you later, alligator. After a while, a crocodile.
