If you spend as much time on the Internet as we do (for your sanity’s sake, we hope you don’t), you’ve certainly heard that a poisonous cobra has escaped from the Bronx Zoo and is now amusing and frightening much of new York City. no one has any idea where the snake has crept off to, but now has its own funny Twitter account and has taken the place of Charlie Sheen as the Internet meme du jour. The Bronx Zoo cobra is doing all the winning now, Mr. Sheen.
There’s only one proper way to celebrate this slithering little wastrel, and no, it’s not with a snakeskin handbag. That would probably just upset him, and if you were to come across a poisonous cobra, the last thing you would want to do is hurt his feelings. (Or worse, make him think that you want to catch him and make him into a tasteful evening bag.) No, ladies, you need to immortalize the Bronx Zoo cobra in gemstones with the help of the Jimmy Choo Candice snake Suede Clutch. I think there’s a “snake charming” pun in here somewhere.
I have a thing for reptile jewelry anyway, and that includes several crystal-encrusted snakes in my collection, typically in the form of bracelets. This grasp would have appealed to me as a way to tie my handbags into my costume jewelry stash, but the synchronicity of its appearance best as a snake has taken over meme culture adds an extra layer of appeal. At some elegant Manhattan boutique, I’m sure that some very smart socialite is thinking the same thing and purchasing this grasp best now. hopefully the snake will be located soon so that this grasp can go back to being just a normal evening bag with a vintage twist. purchase through Net-a-Porter for $1595.
