If you’re in the market for an Italian-made neon red python tote, this gorgeous Proenza Schouler bag is up your alley. The radiant ruby-red tones and sumptuous leather make this bag something of a fashion dessert. And I say: diet starts tomorrow! The color of the bag is billed as “neon red” and for good reason. Somehow, the hue plays against the texture and intricate stitch work to grab you, much like a neon sign on a restaurant grabs the attention of hungry passers-by. This isn’t to say that the bag is garish. Not at all! To the contrary, it is subtle and glow-y in the way many great bags are.

You might not even pick up on detailing like the front flap close pocket, metal foldover closures and leather pull-tab straps, but your subconscious will notice the symmetry of the construction. Like all pieces of great art, the bag exudes an elegant simplicity, hiding its more formal structure underneath.This python tote is by no means a bargain, but consider it a long-term investment. Consider how many parties, how many job interviews, how many soirees, how many galas, etc., you will take this bag to. You might even imagine running into an ex-boyfriend or even an ex-fiance clutching this bag – tangible evidence that you have arrived as an independent, powerful woman, able to tame the very snakes themselves and make them do your bidding.
