Alligator Handbags
The difference between a crocodile and an alligator handbag is difficult for many people to recognize. Both are long-lasting and carry a certain amount of prestige, but there are some notable differences. For one, the skin of the alligator has a more symmetrical scale pattern and the thicker, softer skin is smoother to the touch than that of the crocodile. The best choice of leather for a purse or handbag depends on how the skin was processed for tanning.
While there are only two species of alligators, there are many species of crocodiles. Since the crocs can come from many places around the world, it is more difficult to know the conditions in which they are raised and harvested. The American alligator is typically 13 to 14 feet in length at the time of harvesting. The scales are well-defined and fairly consistent, where the scales on a croc vary.
Buy Only Genuine Alligator Handbags
Once the hide has been processed, however, it is very difficult to determine which species a handbag is made from. For this reason, it is important to deal only with suppliers that have a proven record of honesty and integrity. Anyone can place a "genuine" stamp on a product, but unless the quality bears it out, you may buy something that is fake.
