I really need a gym bag, I have been just throwing stuff in whatever bag I am using and it has got to stop. In my search I came upon this fabulous sports bag from one of my favorites, Pauric Sweeney. The overnighter wasn't right as a gym bag but this is absolutely perfect! I love the hearty straps and the giant exterior pocket. Yes, it is python so not exactly impervious to water (and sweat, yuck!) but I am careful and don't sweat that much. I mean, I can't keep walking in to Equinox looking like an uncommitted fitness fiend. This is also great for travel and can easily be appropriate for a man so my husband doesn't have to have that embarrassed look on his face when carrying my bag (it's obvious when he's carrying my Chanel or Birkin that it belongs to his wife but this would be borderline and he does not have what it takes to carry off a true man bag). It is so fabulous that exotics are being made in every kind of bag but nothing is as snobbish as a python gym bag, that in itself requires that I have it =) At Luxcouture for $2800.

They say that python is illegal in CA and some bigger stores, like Saks and Neimans will not ship but most smaller stores will call it snakeskin and get away with it. I have received python with no problems. But don't tell anyone! =)
