Reptile print handbags never really go out of style — they just shift in and out of the spotlight. Exotic leathers like python, crocodile, and lizard have been part of luxury fashion for decades, from the bold python craze of the 1970s to the sleek crocodile textures on this year's runways. Trends may change with the season, but reptile prints are a timeless way to add texture, depth, and sophistication to a handbag design.
