Although some of the top designers such as Fleet Ilya for Rihanna’s bag are making these cross body styles, these bags can be found in more affordable price ranges, as well. At Best Handbag Wholesale, western-style, cross body bags are an option. One of these cross body bags consists of a leather pouch with three compartments inside. On the outside, the purse is made of solid-color leatherette and decorated with various western ornaments. This includes clear colored rhinestones, as well as various studs in rounded and western shapes. Similar to Rihanna’s bag, black is available, as well as other colors of leatherette.

How should you wear a cross body bag, western style or regardless? As the bag is somewhat neutral and medium-sized, it’s ideal for a variety of occasions. Whether you’re taking the bag to work, out for running errands, or to a bar or club, the bag is appropriate for all occasions. As long as the bag is neutral or with slight embellishments, it’s sure to fit in or match nearly any outfit. But, while black goes with nearly everything, other solid colors at Best Handbag Wholesale for cross body bags make the handbag brighter, such as pink or lime green, but are still a solid shade.

Another unique aspect about this particular python handbag seen on Rihanna is the style. The “it” handbag this past summer has been a hobo bag, and this style transcends all colors, textures, and materials as simply a large slouch purse. But, although Rihanna’s handbag looks spacious, the closure on the handbag is merely a flat, snap closure, instead of a slouching zipper. While it gives the bag some form, her handbag’s style has been dubbed a “puffy purse.” More accurately, the handbag looks like an oversized coin purse designed in brown python.

Aside from singles like “Umbrella,” Rihanna is known for her style and having a unique handbag that no one can find is part of her look, as well as being able to pass off a faux hawk. If you’re looking for a specific python handbag, various retailers of discount and wholesale handbags carry a similar look. While the coin purse design is rare on the racks these days, the solid colored python skin texture isn’t, and such retailers carry solid color faux python skin bags dyed in brown and other colors, some of which are in the slouch or hobo style.
