A Colombian luxury handbag designer who pleaded guilty to smuggling purses made of the skins of protected reptiles has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Nancy Gonzalez, who has made handbags carried by stars such as Britney Spears and cast members of Sex and the City, was sentenced on Monday in a Miami federal court.
Gonzalez broke an international treaty by illegally importing bags made from caimans and pythons.
Both Colombia and the US are signatories to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, which protects such species.
