The Python Problem
The latest drop in our Project Sustainability™ collection debuts our newest environmentally-friendly material: Burmese python leather.
Burmese pythons are an invasive species disrupting Florida’s wildlife ecosystem. Not only do they compete for food, but they’re also a leading factor in the significant decline of native mammal wildlife populations. The rapid breeding of non-native Burmese pythons resulted in the effective disappearance of entire wildlife populations like marsh and cottontail rabbits and foxes, and nearly all raccoons, opossums and bobcats. By removing Burmese pythons from the Everglades, we’re helping to preserve native species, their resources and their environment.

Python Elimination Program
The South Florida Water Management District Governing Board is taking aggressive action to protect the Everglades and eliminate invasive pythons from across the landscape. The Python Elimination Program started in 2017 and incentivizes a limited number of public-spirited individuals to humanely euthanize these destructive snakes which have become an invasive apex predator in the Everglades. The program provides access to python removal agents on designated lands in Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward, Collier, Hendry, Lee, and Palm Beach counties." -
