Olivia, I'm not a fan of animal/snake skin. My criteria for a bag was that it had to be openable(Sp?) with one hand and able to stand up on it's own to allow for one-handed rummaging. If it fits one-handed criteria then I think it's a very sharp looking bag. I prefer red, but that is just me.
I chose a Cath kidston bag and was very happy with it.
