These days it stands to reason that any designer has to know what he or sure may be in for by daring to incorporate any authentic animal skins into his or her work.

Presumably Asha, designing under the ADM brand, took all the risks into consideration and found that the pros much outweighed the cons when it came to this decadent Golden Python Fringe bag. PETA likely will not be a fan, but plenty of fashionistas the world over are already salivating at the thought of carrying this bag around on their arm.

The python print is indeed original, and it is actually intact as well, with matching accents created by slender strips of the self same snakeskin which comprises the rest of the purse. The quatrefoil clasp, which has a setting of gorgeous moonstone cabochons as well as a pyramid moonstone, is inspired by Moroccan design.

Not that Asha relies solely on the snakeskin itself to make this bag magnificent. It also features French piping and ample room for storage inside. If you don’t mind the whole python skin aspect and have $1,800 to burn, this purse can thus be yours.
