It’s two bags in one — a woven raffia tote with two scarves to change your color palette with your whim. The tote measures 14″ tall by 20″ wide with a leather 6″ wide bottom. The leather trims the bag as well at the top and at the bottom. The scarves are a lightweight cotton in either a hot pink, red, purple, teal, green, yellow and blue mosaic or an ombred zebra print in brown, tan and ivory. The tote is lined and there is one interior zippered pocket. In natural.

The handbag looks traditional, with a classic silhouette accented by bits of lovely gold hardware. Standing out above everything else is the painted python, of course, and that’s because it’s so unexpectedly orange. The color gives new life to what would otherwise be a run-of-the-mill “exotic” purse that wouldn’t necessarily turn heads. This is, at least for fans of the material, a breath of fresh air. Available for $995 at Shopbop.
