I HAD an expensive pair of snake skin boots before the most recent puppy. They were totally hot. Puppy is lucky he didn't become a pair of boots after that...
I actually won them at a charity auction for a raptor center a few years back. They were made from Burmese skin from snakes harvested in the everglades.
I'd jump at another chance for a pair like that. Skin from an invasive species donated by the maker to raise money for endangered native wildlife.
I actually liked the idea so much I started looking into starting a non profit to connect fashion designers to sources of flordia python hides with the hopes some of the profits from the sales of their high end products could be donated back into efforts to preserve local wildlife and to raise awareness...
But then life happened. I moved further away from Fl. My contact in the fashion industry passed away. And it has been shelved as a pipe dream.
