How To Style The Mock Croc | AW18 Trend Guide

This autumn/winter mock croc leather is the key accessory trend. At Maxwell – Scott, we create our mock croc leather by heat embossing the finest full-grain Italian leather – adding a unique touch to a classic accessory. This results in handbags which mix sophistication and individuality, perfect for any occasion…

For Your Everyday Work Look

In the office, this sleek textured leather will create a juxtaposition against the rigid dressing rules of the workplace. A faux crocodile leather business bag, then, in a rich chestnut tan offers interest to a classically tailored outfit. Pair the look with a soft colour palette of complementary beige and cream – the longline camel coat being an absolute must as the traditional edge necessary for the bag.

The Fabia work bag will accommodate all that you may need for a day in the office including a  15-inch laptop or Macbook, in turn adding a touch of exoticism to your daily work wardrobe.

For Meetings In The City

For meetings in the city, a smaller handbag design than the Fabia works perfectly. The black textured leather of the Rosa Croco combines both individual trend-led charm and a classic aesthetic. Moreover the ladylike design of the handbag solidifies its role as a handbag to impress for a lifetime.

 

Match this ladylike accessory with a similarly feminine outfit. A checked midi skirt, for instance, is the perfect nod to the colder weather whilst complementary simple pieces act as a backdrop to the bag. Simply stunning the Rosa Croco offers refined elegance for a full day of meetings.

For Dress Down Friday

A dress down Friday can be a minefield for successful dressing. It is best to opt for a tonal ensemble with simple accessories. For added interest, and as a nod to another key trend for AW18, match leather with leather by donning a leather skirt. This will provide both a classic tailored shape and a more relaxed individuality. A utilitarian trench coat completes this look which melds tradition with modernity.

The Fiorella Croco, therefore, is the simple accessory needed to continue this casual Friday look. A work handbag, which can still hold your A4 files, it has a sleek design. Worn in a rich tan for a more informal aesthetic, the Fiorella Croco is the ideal accessory this winter for your dress down Fridays.

For A Weekend in The Countryside

Mock croc leather inevitably has an exotic aesthetic. Thus, a faux crocodile accessory will blend effortlessly into the wilder surroundings of the countryside. The Liliana Small Croco bowling bag, in particular, mixes functionality and this unusual style. Due to its practical size and adjustable shoulder strap, this handbag can be easily worn across the body whilst you explore the rust-toned autumnal countryside.

In order to continue this style into your outfit, match a thickly knitted jumper with caramel trousers and a pair of classic flats. This colour palette will both enhance the rich tan leather of the Liliana Small Croco and feel apt for the surroundings.

For The Evening

For the evening, a mock croc handbag provides a refined individuality to every look. With this in mind, opt for a ladylike shape which is enhanced by an unusual colour palette. Purple, for example, is a rich tone which will work beautifully as a backdrop to the tan leather; a high-necked amethyst blouse in particular offers distinct femininity which oozes sophistication.

The Rosa Croco in tan certainly has a more relaxed look that its black counterpart. However, the classic design of the handbag means that it remains a traditionally stunning accessory. At an evening event, it is the perfect companion.
