All things scaly are big news this summer and beyong, so start nipping this trend in the bud and find your snakeskin style now.

This nude Python Muse tote bag by Yves Saint Laurent will leave you panting for fashion in its fabulous wake. Hold it, shoulder it, or just generally carry it – whatever you do, this statement accessory will look super slick with its serpentine style.

A sumptuous, on-trend natural tone for timeless appeal, team it with those raffia wedges and that prim-but-not-too-proper floral summer dress.

Hold it under your arm (as the fashion pack are all doing right now), in the crook of your elbow, or by the easy, handy-to-grip handle. Before you know it, you’ll be swinging it alongside you as if it’s always been there.

We reckon this would be the fabulous bow on the ultimate nude-based ensemble. Team it with fresh whites this summer and luxe nudes that just ooze effortless glamour, or, for that casual, everyday look, pair it with spotless white chinos, cute flats and a simple tee.
