Paris Texas Croc-Embossed and Python-Print Shoes: Carbone, Natural Python and Every Texture, Ranked
Paris Texas Croc-Embossed and Python-Print Shoes: Carbone, Natural Python and Every Texture, Ranked
None of it is snake and none of it is crocodile. Every croc, python and lizard at Paris Texas is calf leather, embossed with a croc scale and printed with a python and lizard pattern, and the brand lists them that way. The point is the texture: croc-embossed calf hides scuffs and reads as expensive, python-print carries a whole outfit, and both cost a fraction of the skins they quote. Luxury Handbags carries 28 croc-embossed and 24 python and lizard-print Paris Texas styles at $1,060 to $3,080. This guide sorts them and ranks the ten to buy.

Croc-embossed calf
Carbone is the house croc colour, a charcoal that reads as black with a grey cast, and it is the finish to buy if a boot will be worn hard, because the scale hides everything. The Stiletto 105 in Carbone is the reference, with the 85 in Rouge Noir, the 60 in Cioccolato, the 105 in Ebano and the 85 in Violet Black beside it. The Anja 70 knee boot in Carbone and Ebano are the block-heel versions; the Vera 105 ankle boot in Carbone, Rouge Noir, the Vera 85 knee boot, the Vera 105 in Ebano and the Vera pump in Ebano the stiletto ones; the Bettina 25 in Carbone is the flat. On the Lidia, croc-embossed comes with the crystal buckle on the buckle mule and the buckle slingback, and with the Queen of Hearts cut-out embroidery on the ankle boot, the Rouge Noir sabot and the Fondente slingback.
Python-print and lizard-print calf
Natural python-print, the pale beige-and-brown pattern, is the loudest thing in the range and the one that carries an outfit on its own: the Vera 105 knee boot, the Vera pump, the Anja 85, the Bettina 25, the Bettina 50 and the Sveva buckle ballet flat, the only flat shoe Paris Texas makes. Black python-print is texture without colour: the Lidia mule, the slingback, the Vera 85 ankle boot and the Alice 85. Deep Red on the mule and the slingback, Green Noir on the 70 slingback, Fondente on the pump, the Bettina and the Rose bootie, Ebano on the thong mule and Rouge Noir on the Alice are the colours. Lizard-print is on the Nadia mule in brown, and the Tucson works python-print into its embroidered shaft. The Lidia sabot in black lynx printed haircalf is the one animal print that is not a reptile.

How to wear an animal print
Croc-embossed in Carbone, Ebano and Cioccolato is a neutral and wears like one; treat it as a black boot with more surface. Natural python-print is a pattern and wants a plain outfit around it, one colour, ideally black, cream and camel, with nothing else printed. Black python-print sits between the two: it reads as black across a room and as texture up close. The styling guide has more. Both finishes are the easiest in the range to care for: a dry cloth, an occasional neutral cream on the croc, and nothing on the print. The care guide has the rest.
