The fashion industry is continually updating, changing and setting trends, finding new ways to **showcase a brand’s unique qualities, values, tastes and trends.** **Luxury brands** can feel even more pressure to set high standards in the fashion industry**,** creating unique styles that place an emphasis on distinction and quality in accessorized products such as handbags. More than ever, brands are using exotic leathers as a symbol of luxury, distinction and high-end quality**.** ## **Designers Choice: Diamond Python Skin** Luxury designers have many exotic leathers to choose from such as alligator, stingray, ostrich, or [python leather when they are creating a handbag](https://www.panamleathers.com/blog/bid/359464/Tips-for-Making-Handbags-from-Python-Skin). Each luxurious exotic leather offers different qualities and pricing to accommodate the design’s needs. However, designers are using a **more unique,** and certainly one of the most popular and largest python skins, from Southeast Asia called [python ](https://www.panamleathers.com/blog/bid/360832/Learning-Exotic-Leather-Diamond-Python-Skin)reticulatus, more commonly known as diamond python. Being one of the largest pythons, diamond python hides provide approximately two times the amount of material to work with as a short tail python hide does. Diamond python hide has a medium body - not as heavy as the short tail and not as thin as the Burmese python skin - which makes it a perfect blend of malleable and durable ideal for handbags. Diamond python leather is easy for sewing machines to thread through, and it doesn’t need to be thinned out with a dremel or similar tools which are usually required for more scaly type reptile hides. Since diamond python hides **are large in nature**, depending on the size of the handbag, there will most often be varying lengths of left over hide pieces that a designer can use to accessorize the handbag with, such as a braided cord to fasten as the strap or zipper decor. ## **Aesthetic Distinctions** Diamond python’s appearance is distinct in nature because of its web-like series of rounded color patterns in its scales which create a natural geometric design. Also, this hide has wide center belly scales which are quite pronounced.  ## **Bleached or Unbleached** Diamond python skins are available in both front and back cuts for both bleached and unbleached varieties. **Bleaching the python’s hide removes** the iconic scale colors to get one uniform color. **An unbleached hide preserves** the python skin's unique scale patterns reinforcing it as genuine python leather with visual distinctions. To get a visual for what bleached and unbleached python skin looks like, you can visit Pan American Leather’s website in the [python shopping section](http://shop.panamleathers.com/python-skin). Python skin handbag fashion is growing. With such natural versatility and unique distinctions, this luxurious exotic hide is becoming a desirable handbag leather for designers.
