San Francisco Store’s Suit Halts California's Ban on Alligator Leather A suit filed by the owner of a San Francisco accessory store succeeded in stopping California's ban on selling alligator products after a federal judge ruled Thursday that the ban is unenforceable, at least temporarily.

As some of you may know, California is trying to ban the sale of Alligator products. We are trying very hard to fight the law from passing. To date, the legal fees have topped $675,000, and there is a current balance of $120,340 due to be paid to the attorneys now. This lawsuit is for the benefit of the entire industry, and we hope we can count on your support. Any donation will make a difference, and will be used 100% towards attorney fees.

Thank you for the support, and thank you American Tanning & Leather LLC for keeping us updated.

Dear friends,

Through all of the turmoil the world has been experiencing in the past few months regarding the health crisis, police brutality and a plummeting economy, April in Paris has suffered a great deal as well. Last weekend, we were burglarized in the middle of the night and the culprits stole 17 of 22 handbags. We lost a majority of our inventory. Although it was all caught on video, the 2 men were masked, hooded and wearing gloves.

Due to the very unfortunate incident, we have decided to close our retail space, and focus solely on custom orders. In doing so, we are selling all of our inventory with 30% off and free shipping.

We are auctioning off the latest April in Paris handbag made by Beatrice Amblard. The Lily is a sunny and stylish bucket style bag with a magnetic snap closure and cognac colored lambskin interior.
