At The Top Of My List: Black Croc Totes

Let’s be real—the best animal print bags are black croc-embossed totes. They’re the kind of bag that can carry you through your day, whether you’re heading to a morning meeting or out for after-work drinks. The texture alone adds depth and interest to any outfit, while the sleek black color ensures it stays sophisticated. My fave? Tom Ford’s Whitney tote, of course. Tom Ford might as well be known as the designer of croc bags. This is the best choice for any women looking to splurge on the most luxurious find.

However, for a more wallet-friendly version, this croc-effect leather tote has been gaining attention for good reasons. Dynamic in shape and timeless for years to come, Demellier isn’t a brand to be missed. In fact, the label offers some of the best animal print bags to wear with just about any outfit. While these bags sure do stand out on their own, nothing beats a little mix-match styling. The best part about working with black accessories is their versatility.

For the best modern pairing, look for dresses like Maygel Coronel’s Ricaurte velvet mini. This approach to textures instantly takes  these bags to the next level. For a more everyday appropriate look, the House of Harlow 1960 Marni dress looks just as flattering. When it comes to styling leather animal print bags, a little goes a long way. Plus, with your favorite pair of trendy flats or designer pumps, these croc totes might just be your favorite too.
