| 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 catagory.
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 watchs
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 decidely 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-----an
Alligator Custom Pro Golf Bag for Men and for Women..."His and
Hers"...offered in 5 Colors (including Pink and Purple) as well as two-tone.
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.
