Pauric Sweeney Patent Python Leather Bag

Check out this gorgeous Pauric Sweeney bag! I am so into snake skin now...not only is it exotic and luxurious, more affordable than crocodile skin, it also has that very masculine appeal when done in a basic colour like black:-) The scaly texture is interesting and especially when polished to patent shiny levels, it is even more outstanding.

This nice carryall style bag with plenty of exterior pockets and contrasted with black patent leather will be a chic and practical addition to any guy's wardrobe. There is a huge zipper front pocket and 2 buckle closure pockets on the sides. Excellent and thoughtful design for easy access to all the little things you have with you. The pointy shape of the metal buckle is also complimentary to the overall look instead of sticking out like an eyesore. I also like the shoulder strap option and nice woven style handles, long enough to definitely sling on shoulders. Very roomy size at 45cm width, 30cm length and 17cm depth. Can store an entire outfit in the bag and perfect for gym or daily use.

The bag is also amazingly priced for python skin. Definitely a good buy for exotic skin bags!

Pauric Sweeney Overnight Bag in Python and Black Patent Leather

Another item that catches my eye from browsing Browns Fashion's website today. A beautiful roomy trapeze shaped overnight bag that features a flap opening and a front pocket for easy access to regularly used items. Handles are buckled to the bag with just the right amount of hardware. Comes with a shoulder strap that will ensure your tired hands can be given a rest after carrying the bag for prolong periods.

I love the python skin version, which features a beautiful contrast of grained calf and snake skin, in brown and mustard tones. Perfect combination that will work with lots of outfits. For guys who want a more timeless colour, the patent black version will give you a run for your money, ensuring you stay stylish and chic for many years to come. The patent leather is matched with textured leather which creates an interesting combination.
