You can find the alligator skin clad mannequin pictured below at the LVMH/Michael Kors exhibit in the Arts Decoratifs museum in Paris. LVMH purchased an Asia-based alligator skin tannery in 2011 for $160 million, vertically extending their position in the alligator skin supply chain. LVMH competitors Hermes and PPR (Gucci) already have a strong presence in the alligator skin tanning business with alligator skin tanneries in the US, Italy in France.
