Splurge vs. steal: Where to get Imee Marcos' crocodile-shaped bag

Published Sep 09, 2025 7:38 pm

Sen. Imee Marcos has a new "arm candy," and it looks very interesting.

On Tuesday, Marcos arrived at the Senate carrying a crocodile-shaped bag, joking that she had caught a "buwaya," a jab at corrupt and greedy politicians.

"Lahat nakaabang kung sino na ang mga bagong pinuno ng mga komite sa Senado ngayong Martes, Setyembre 9, pero agaw eksena talaga masyado ang BB bag na dala ko," she wrote on Facebook amid a shake-up in the Senate.

We've found two options for those inspired by her style: one for a splurge and one for a steal.

Splurge: Graziella Braccialini Crocodile Bag

The Graziella Braccialini Crocodile Theme bag from the Temi collection will set you back around $3,000 (P173,600).

This accessory is entirely handmade from embossed leather that replicates authentic scales. It features a stunning metallic finish on a dark brown background, complete with double handles and a removable, adjustable cross-body strap.

Steal: Temu Synthetic Leather Crocodile-Shaped Bag

A quick reverse image search revealed that Marcos seemed to have gotten her bag for a steal from Temu, priced at just P2,306.

This faux-leather crocodile handbag comes in black, crimson, and dark brown, complete with a handle and an adjustable strap.

According to reviews, it's "great quality," has a "good design," and even gets "sooo many comments."

Plus, you won't have to wait to get your hands on this one as Temu promises to deliver within four days.
