A shop front displays python skins from Indonesia in Hong Kong, China, 08 October 2010. Snakeskin has become the latest must-have and designer labels including Jimmy Choo, Donna Karan, Mulberry, Gucci, Prada, Roberto Cavalli and Yves Saint Laurent have all used it in coats, bags and boots, claiming it is farmed, but according to TRAFFIC, the international wildlife trade monitoring network, python take too long to mature and are too expensive to rear in captivity.
