Not quite sure whether seeing these raw crocodile and python skins repulses me or excites me, but it sure does fascinate that it starts off with just a few buckles and belts of leather and becomes a fully fledged bag. Reece Hudson is the label to watch. Favourite of the fashion crowd - a really fun game to play when you're bored is to spot how many No.1 Oversized Clutches you can see in the slideshows of Tommy Ton's fashion week coverage (so far, the count is at 4). I'm not surprised he loves to snap them, since he lensed their first ever lookbook and sent this barely 2 year old label into fashion's buzz stratosphere, with features in Harpers Bazaar and Vogue to follow. They're stocked at Kirna Zabete in New York and also Belinda in Australia.
I think it's pretty neat that Reece Hudson have a blog that doesn't just cycle through their influences (a sprinkling of lou dillon here, a smattering of vintage kate moss there) or endlessly spouts press clippings - although there is a bit of that. They actually feature behind the scenes footage, shots of their mates or girls on the street who are wearing their bags and great little intros into the bag-making world like these. The second picture was accompanied by the caption "Reece has just picked up the python skins for the new collection". What a deliciously enigmatic sentence. Where from? The python market? I love the fact that there a accessories designers around the world who still run around and pick up the materials for their collection. Sure, it might add a few extra dollars to the price tag, but hey, it makes for a beautiful bag.
