Do you know it is illegal to trade python in California?

Fashion conscious Californian's have the slither around to around to trap this springs trendiest shoes, bags, pants and jackets in python. Since 1970 the sale of python skin or parts has been outlawed. Importing or shipping products made from the endangered species into the state for commercial purposes is illegal. Violators face a maximum fine of $5,000 or a six-month accommodations in an unflattering orange jumpsuit at a county jail. Stylists and fashionistas have creatively come up with ways to acquire the goods. Some shoppers fly to Las Vegas, while one stylists orders directly from Gucci in Hawaii, which will mail it. It's legal to bring your own python across state lines, as long as you don't plant to sell it. California is the only state with a ban on all types of python, although only Indian python is on the endangered species list.

Bagopeida's Comment: Keeping up high fashion can be costly. Sometimes it doesn't have to be. Minimal, simple, understated, yet powerful- is the bag that Bagopeida is current carrying. The price tag is fair for the bag. For Bagopeida, no bags can be so flexible. There are not limits for this bag. It goes everywhere at any time.

Bagopeida's Comment: Ready for summer holidays? Let's go! You can carry this bag to the tropical islands and don't feel you are carrying a leather tote. The bag is shelled in perforated leather which is amazing! It is lighter weight than a lather bag and soft than a straw bag. You can even carry it through the fall season when the straw bags should be put away. The simple design with Balenciaga elements makes this bag rock hard!

Bagopedia's Rating: 3 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopeida's Comment: Once a while we see things revolutionary that we'd like to share with our readers. This bag gives studs a new meaning- covered as people start to get tired of the traditional studs- either shinny or not. Even though Bagopedia is not interested getting this bag for myself, it is nice to share some good news.

Kristien Dunst + Ralph Lauren Collection Calfskin Cross-Body



Kirsten Dunst leaves the gym after a workout on Sunday (April 10) in Los Angeles.

Bag: Ralph Lauren Collection Calfskin Cross-Body Bag

Price: $1,995.00

Where to Buy: Polo Boutiques,

Who carries it: Taylor Swift,

Bagopeida's Rating: 2 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopedia's Comment: This bag is from Ralph Lauren's high-end Collection line. It has a very trendy design, nice smooth Italian leather, and a rich color. It also fits the look that young Hollywood stars are doing. However, it is a temporary look. Bagopeida can't see my self spending 2K for, still, a Polo bag. Bagopedia will get something less pricy and get rid of it when this look is done.

Leighton Meester

Kylie Minogues


Bag: Yves Saint Laurent ChYc Cabas Shopper

Price: $1,995.00

Measurements: W16"xH12"xD8"

Colors: Black, Gray, Tabacco, Red, and Green

Where to order: YSL Boutiques,

Who Carries it: Kylie Minogues, Leighton Meester, Sienna Miller, Kate Winslet,

Bagopedia's Rating: 4 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopedia's Comment: The hottest bag in Hollywood now accepts pre-orders at YSL boutiques. The bag won't be available until August or September as a fall winter 2011-12 bag and is in a very limited quantity (was told 1000 pieces total in the U. S.). The ChYc collection started as a shoulder bag and has become a very popular collection for YSL. The Cabas shopper is shelled in calfskin and has a Y closure in gold color. The Cabas bag is a structured tote which fits in Bagopedia's territory. Unfortunately Bagopedia wasn't given one but has put down my order for a black one. I am just hoping that I receive it before other people.

GUCCI MOMS: Gucci creative director Frida Giannini created a special bag for Mother’s Day — and for a good cause. The limited edition bag, available at Gucci.com through June 15, benefits UNICEF programs to stop HIV infections among newborns, and retails for $970 with 25 percent going to the cause. “My inspiration for this special edition bag came from my trip to Malawi with UNICEF in November 2009, when I witnessed first hand the AIDS epidemic that affects entire generations of families,” Giannini said. Salma Hayek, a member of the PPR Foundation for Women’s Dignity and Rights and mother-of-one, is already a fan. "It’s easy, simple and efficient: a beautiful bag with a real social impact," she said. "I love it.”

Jessica Alba + Loewe May Bag



Jessica Alba feeds the meter and heads into a nail salon for a mani-pedi on Tuesday (April 26) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Bag: Loewe May Bag

Price: $,1950.00

Where to Buy: Loewe Boutiques,

Bagopeida's Rating: 3 Bags (Out of 5)

Bagopedia's Comment: Loewe, or some people called the Spanish HERMES, is known for its soft leather, beautiful color, and elegant design. The May Bag is inspired by details from Loewe's past 165 years history. This bag is designed for modern women who don't like structured bags and will appreciate its softness. Bagopedia thinks it is odd that the front pocket looks so formal, but the bag looks too casual.
