| Exotic skin belts and shoes are a statement of enduring style and timeless design. Anytime
anything is limited or difficult to obtain, everyone wants it. Anything Alligator or
Crocodile fits into this category.
Alligators have been around for 20 million years, since the Reptile age. In 1967,
however, they were recognized as endangered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Through
careful controls, American Alligators are now off this list and are said to be fully
recovered. The controls and watches continue, however.
To add to the drama, is the spunky nature of these little rascals. All those
teeth......ready to eat about anything............growing up to 14 feet and weighing as
much as 1000 pounds. I have not personally met anyone who catches them but I would imagine
that the stereotype of "Crocodile Dundee" is not too far off. James Bond and
Indiana Jones movies always seem to showcase dealing with them.
What I do know a thing or two about, as a longtime retailer, are the wonderful Shoes,
Wallets, Belts, Braces, Belt straps and nice desk accessories that are made from the
highly prized skins. I know how difficult they are to get..........the long waits we have
had over the years for the items........and the truly limited nature of the items.
What does Alligator Skin go with ? Chestnut Alligator looks fantastic with a Charcoal
Grey Chalkstripe Suit...........and equally as nice with a pair of khaki pants. Black
Alligator has a decidedly more contemporary look...........and works well with a more Euro
Non-Vented Suit or with soft Microfiber trousers. Dressy or
Casual........Classic or Contemporary.........it is hard to find something
that it doesn't look good with. We carry Black, Chestnut and Dark Brown on
our website and are shipping them around the world. We have Alligator
Tumblers for Happy Hour, a Cell Phone Holder in Alligator and a Alligator
Fly Swatter, which we will personalize on a brass plate with three initials.
Our latest feature------a Custom Pro Alligator Golf Bag for Men and for
Women---"His and Hers".....offered in 5 Colors (including Pink and Purple)
as well as a two-tone version.
The style is timeless......think Cary Grant, The Duke of Windsor..........and truly
enduring. Alligator items are repaired, refurbished over time........and even passed down.
Special, upscale customers understand all of this. This is not "for the minute"
fashion.
If you have also seen the prices, you know this is something special.
