I came across this while doing my usual browsing and thought you gals may know something about it. What regulations, and why California only?
bergman pump
Combining 40s glamour with contemporary style, python, leather and mesh are fused meticulously to create this vintage-inspired pump. With a lace-up toe and an indented and stacked 2" heel, this shoe will always be a step ahead. Leather sole. Beige. Italy.
Due to import regulations, this item cannot be shipped to California.
I just know it has something to do with the python. California restricts items made with python. There were lot's of issues with Chloe bags because of this.
python!!!!!!!! - i remember reading all these girls in california over on another board throwing a hissy because they had to go to vegas to buy a python chloe bag!
i guess bcbg is coming out with an $800 croc shoe (that's a whole different thread) and there are strict instructions not to ship to california. i'm sure it is regarding the same regulations.
