Luxury Alligator & Crocodile Leather Handbags for Women - Designer Exotic Skin Purses & Totes - Perfect for Evening Parties, Weddings & Special Occasions

A beautiful book to be enjoyed in the summer heat under a ceiling fan, by the fire in winter, on the sleeping porch in the spring and fall...to look at, to study, to learn, to fine tune one's sensibilities.This is a book for the collector of vintage handbags, the Duchess of Windsor wannabees, or ANY woman who has swung a handbag over her arm and gone out to face the world. I am a recent shopper with Victoria Stowe, fearing the Louisiana alligators (called cocodrie by the local French Acadians) would be threatened by the oil eruption in the Gulf of Mexico. I decided on a few items and am in love with the history and elegance of exotic skin handbags. While a novice shopper, I shall become "tres formidable" with this encyclopedic volume.Merci beaucoup, Victoria, for sharing your life's work and passion with all of us. The book is pricey, but well worth it. To quote Ronnie Milsaps, "I wouldn't have missed it for the world!"Peggy Moseley
