Snakeskin Bags

Gabriela Hearst approaches snakeskin through both natural Elaphe and INVERSA™ Python, giving the material a distinctive place within the handbag collection. INVERSA™ Python is sourced from wild Burmese pythons in the Florida Everglades, where the species is highly invasive and threatens native wildlife. The material is shaped into structured handbags, as well as softer silhouettes, with hand-finished edges and the signature rose gold hardware.

The range includes shoulder styles, top handle bags and a snakeskin crossbody bags with an adjustable strap. Interiors are finished in nappa or lamb leather, depending on the style, with internal pockets and compartments for all your essentials. Colour ranges from black, chocolate and ivory to bordeaux, green and more vivid shades, allowing the natural pattern of the skin to remain part of each design.

Because natural snakeskin varies from skin to skin, each bag carries its own pattern and character. The collection brings together traditional Italian leather craftsmanship with materials selected for their provenance and considered use. Discover the same approach in the crocodile bags and wider handbag collection.
