The reptile look has often reared its python like head onto the fashion scene. Before you fork out ridiculous ammouts for that snake purse; did you ever stp to think that like many other creatures; snakes too are killed in inhumane ways for the sake of fashion.
Many of us have an intense fear of such slithering creatures, but truth be told, whether you like the creature or not, it is not right for any creature to suffer for the sake of that "hot" purse or that must have snakeskin tote bag.
The high demand for snakeskin by top fashion houses has put pressure on the south east Asia market and inhumane, selfish barbaric slaughtering are taking place to feed the intensified demand. Snakes are purely bred to be stripped of their skin while still alive or have their heads hammered to a pulp.
"Are you ready for this season's style story? Just say yesssssssssssssssssssss. Snake is in. Effective immediately.
It's showing up in every possible accessory from bags to gloves to key chains and sunglasses. There are snake prints on dresses and underwear, bangles, hosiery and scarves.
Best news: It doesn't have to cost a lot for you to rock a reptile.
Many high-end fashion houses are showing their own luxe versions of snake this season: Valentino, Prada, Chloe, Dries Van Noten and others. But fabulous fakes abound in leather and pleather, and often it's hard to tell the difference between a $350 belt and one that costs $35.
"Reptile always looks sophisticated," says Gregg Andrews, a national fashion director for Nordstrom."
If you are a true fashionista, ditch the real and support the fake (looks just like the real thing) don't be a bubble head shopper and ignore the facts and don't support such cruelty, you might be holding a purse but the blood will be on your hands
