Out of all the exotic skinned bags I’ve seen and featured, it seems as if python is the front runner. It’s every where! Even one of my favourite handbag designers, Rebecca Minkoff, has come out with a line of python embossed bags.
If you really want a show stopper kind of bag, this one will do the trick.

Rebecca Minkoff Nikki Python Embossed Micro Fiber Hobo ($395) in yellow python (also available in tan) is a more affordable option if you want to get in on the trend. The Nikki is a big hobo bag that measures 17.5″W x 14.5″H x 2.5″D and closes with a magnetic snap. As you can see, the interior is lined in a signature RM navy blue and white stripes.
Admittedly, I’m a huge fan of Rebecca Minkoff handbags, however this one isn’t doing it for me. It’s much to… loud, trendy and even obnoxious for my tastes. Another issue (well, it’s not really an issue, more of a non-preference) I have with this bag is its made out of microfiber. If you’ve never felt microfiber it’s a bit like suede in texture and feel. Somehow I don’t think the print and the material is a good combination. Then again, I love leather bags so I’m biased.
However, if you love it, who cares what I think, right? 
You can purchase the Nikki Python Embossed Micro Fiber Hobo at Bloomingdales.
