Silver Tote Bag

Nature did not make an alligator this blue. Someone with a dye vat did.

A tote bag in alligator with silver hardware, dyed a deep denim blue that shades lighter over the high points. Handbag makers prize alligator for its bold scale pattern, which cannot be faked convincingly and which gives each bag a look of its own. The ridged central panel runs from a knot of raised bumps near the top down to the base. Two rolled handles rise from pointed tabs held by rectangular silver buckles. Size L. It measures 13.5 inches long, 4 deep and 15 high.

It goes with jeans, and with very little else, and that is fine.
