I did my previous blog on the croc leather. The exotic skin is indeed fantastic yet intriguing due to its irregular pattern reptilian scales. While the authentic alligator skin may cost at least £10,000 at designer's store, while the mock croc may be cheaper due to its PU or pressed-leather imitation.
Burberry recently added their new croc leather collection either as full leather version or as trim on the backbone of the bag. The cost? The brown leather alligator tote cost a mere £11,000 while the tote with alligator lookalike trim cost almost £1000. My similar find at Zara in brown leather mock croc tote cost less than £60, while the PU mock-alligator black tote is rather cheaper at less than 40 quid.
Whatever budget you may have, the choice is yours.
P/S: Would never killed any endangered species just for the sake of fashion.
