Ralph Lauren “Ricky” Alligator Bag

Inspired by a vintage Cooper saddle carrier, the luxurious Ricky bag from Ralph Lauren is crafted from exquisite American alligator and finished with custom Italian hardware. It’s also one of the best deals in exotic bags on the market.  The Burberry crocodile bag is $22,000 and a Croc Hermes birkin is $30,000, in comparison the Ricky gator bag is a mere $14,000, which means you can make your mortgage payment and look stylish.  (What’s the difference you ask?  Alligators are the giant scary reptiles from America, Crocodiles are the giant scary reptiles from the rest of the world).  I know what you’re thinking, it resembles the birkin but think of it as the American equestrian interpretation.  I played around with it and also like the birkin, it’s best used open to avoid the hassle of getting in and out of the straps.  And seriously, do you not want to dive in to the Ralph Lauren catalogue and live his vision?  It’s available in half a dozen shades and four sizes, but I love the glossy black version, it’s a classic that will last a lifetime.  Call Dana Guercio at the Ralph Lauren store in Highland Park 214-522-5270 to purchase!PRICE UPDATE: $14,000 for 35cm, $10,000 for 30cm, call Dana for the price of 25cm.
