Snakeskin is in, along with crocodile, lizard and anything else that looks like it came from a reptile's back. This bag isn't really from a snake of course: it's from River Island. But it does capture the sophisticated look associated with exotic skins, and it manages to do so without doing harm to your wallet or indeed any crawly animals. Hurrah!
As well as its faux-snake panelling, the bag is bordered with a tasteful combination of olive and black sections, offset by a sunny gold chain. It's a neat shape and size that would be great for work days and the whole things yours for £29.99 at River Island
