This past week in black celebrity fashion a python (faux or real) clutch has quickly become the ideal item to top off a look as seen on Amerie, Selita Ebanks, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Taraji P. Henson.
A python (re: snakeskin) clutch can be worn dressed up like Jada or dressed down like Amerie’s Stuart Weitzman clutch. So it is safe to say that the python clutch has become the Summer handbag? Between you and I, it is safe to say that python handbags are IN for the Summer. Here are ideal (re: affordable) python clutches to grab a look similar just like the ladies.
1. Nine West Leather snake clutch, $79.99 NINEWEST.COM 2. Jessica McClintock Metallic Python Frame Clutch, $38.00 MACYS.COM 3. Anna Vince python clutch with bow, £175.00 BROWNSFASHION.COM 4. Snake bow clutch, £18.00 TOPSHOP.COM 5. Tanner Krolle starla metallic python clutch, $1,175.00 ELUXURY.COM 6. Calvin Klein printed leather snakeskin moro clutch, $49.99 EBAY.COM
If you choose to wear this trend I recommend the faux style and not the real snakeskin style. You know it’s the faux style based on the price tag. So do you see yourself hopping onto this latest trend?

@ quick: I couldn’t agree more, not feeling the shoes, but for the most part she looks great.

I love it Chi-Chi, you have the best eye for fashion. Now I have to go buy me a faux python bag, but I think I will check out target first, gotta stick to the budget. But for real, I’m feeling the nine west clutch, next to the Tanner Krolle.

I love shoes and purses!
But reptile is not one of my faves! However, one must sacrifice personal dislikes for the sake of fashion

I so love purses and clutches but I have never been a fan of animal skin items, much less a python snake skin…but the one from nine west - the blue clutch really got my attention!
