Ostrich Pox
Izzy is well aware that many footwear aficionados greatly prize ostrich skin, but to him it always looks like the hide of a cow with a skin condition. He has never bought into the notion that simply because something is exotic or expensive (these A. Testoni monkstraps cost a whopping $1,328.95), it is therefore somehow better.

Izzy – how do you feel aobut alligator? I adore it myself…
