Striking Snakeskin

I know, I know - we're doing it again - writing ANOTHER post about "Mimco", but we have a valid reason I promise!

What if I said the words: "limited edition"?

What if I said: "one of Mimco's most popular, classic designs - with an audacious twist?"

Would that catch your eye?

One of Mimco's signature bags, the "Natural Lady Everyday Bag" (a long time favourite of Australian fashionista's - renowned for it's simple nature and practicality), has been given a high-end makeover - transforming the piece from classic wardrobe staple to glamorous statement piece. This transformation is first apparent within the bags name, where the word "exotic" has been added to the foray. The "Exotic Natural Lady Every Day Bag" is given the luxury treatment in Mimco's snakeskin printed, embossed and patent finished leather Italian leather. To further encapsulate its alluring qualities, only 50 bags have been produced. This exclusivity does, however, come at a price with the bag retailing at $900, well over double that of the regular Everyday Bag.

The bag truly is a stunning investment piece, and please, do not allow the fact that it is not real snakeskin to act as a deterrent. The leather used is of a better quality than the regular Mimco bags (personally, I didn't think it could get any better but after feeling this I realise that there IS a significant difference). It therefore feels a lot better than real snakeskin and is also a hell of a lot easier to maintain - whereas with a genuine snakeskin article you would be too frightened to take it anywhere for fear of damaging it, with this I know that it can stand a fair amount of rough treatment and still come out the other end looking great.

How you use the bag is really up to you. The famous "Everyday Bag" practicality is still there, yet the snakeskin takes it up a notch - whereas with a normal Everyday Bag you would not be able to dress it up for a night out, this is certainly not the case with the Exotic Bag. We think its best suited to the workplace, as its the perfect statement piece to really liven up drab corporate attire. Plus, its the perfect size for keeping everything you need right by your side. Snakeskin truly is one of the most versatile tones out there as it can portray anything from "youthful exuberance" to "sophisticated class" - whichever direction you decide to head, its guaranteed to be a success with this gorgeous bag in tow!
