Alligator Purse

Looking for an Alligator Purse?

Whether you are shopping for yourself, or to find special gift for a friend, Alligator Leather products are an ideal symbol of taste and accomplishment.


Alligators and crocodiles are considered the classic leathers and they are of high quality and very expensive.
Caiman is a product of inferior quality but it is also much cheaper wholesale and more commonly available on the market.

Generally, alligator leather is viewed as the nicer and more luxurious leather, with more symmetrical scale patterns and a softer hide.
Alligator has a smoother and more "three-dimensional" feel than crocodile skin.
It is very hard to tell the difference, but if you look very closely at most crocodile skins, you will see tiny dot indentations, which are actually hair follicles.

There are only one species of alligator, known as the American Alligator. In contrast, there are over a dozen species of crocodiles from all over the world. Most species of crocodile are endangered and therefore illegal to hunt and harvest for commercial use, or at the very least their use is restricted by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).

It is very important to respect these rules aimed at protecting animals threatened with extinction. Unfortunately too often on the market, there are goods produced and exported without any license at all, not even the hunting licence.
It is important not to succumb to the temptation of buying products, which may be sold at bargain basement prices but that certainly contribute towards the risk of extinction of many species protected by CITES.

The selection of leather is very important because this is what indirectly creates the handbag, the pattern of the individual scales of each piece of leather dictating the design and composition of the finished product, which will then take on a different look only according to the type of polishing that is applied.

Tip:Create a budget before you begin your shopping experience! These beautiful purses are not cheap, but you do want to get the best deal possible. You are paying good money for a reason, alligator purses are made of quality material.
Now,if you love the look (not the price tag) of exotic skin purses look no further.
