Animal Print Spotted on Katherine Heigl

Animal print has been one popular style this past year. This has included jungle animal prints like zebra, leopard, and cheetah; farm animal like cows; and reptiles like snake, alligator, and crocodile. For the high-end handbags, the print almost always comes from the real thing, with the exception of jungle animals. Additionally, the print may even be colored. We’ve seen on this blog, so far, dyed snakeskin, reverse cheetah spots on Dita von Teese, and crocodile skin dyed a solid color. In general, these bags are a solid print and, without any embellishments, this serves to highlight the actual print, be it natural or dyed.

For celebrity spotting of this style, Grey’s Anatomy actress Katherine Heigl was seen with such a handbag recently. Her bag, with is a leopard print hobo purse, is colored fully with a natural-looking leopard print. Although not from the animal, the printed color scheme on the patent leather handbag is designed to have the appearance of real leopard spots. Additionally, this particular handbag visits another trend seen this past year: patent leather. A similarly-styled clutch was seen on Halle Berry a few months ago – patent leather with a leopard skin print. The main difference, aside from manufacturers, is that Berry’s purse doesn’t use any yellow and, instead, is gold-colored with black spots.

While the celebrities may be at the forefront for such styles, what is the average consumer to do? One option is to go down the wholesale or designer-inspired route. In the case of Best Handbag Wholesale, various handbags with this type of print are available for stores to sell. These bangs can be leopard print with a tote bag style or else a hobo style is another option with the same material. Just like the handbags seen on the celebrities, these purses are a solid animal print with no other embellishments.
