Jimmy Choo Face Clutch

Jimmy Choo Face Clutch

Jimmy Choo Face Clutch
Jimmy Choo Face Clutch

Jimmy Choo’s Tamara Mellon teamed up with Richard Phillips to create two Limited Edition art bags for the Spring/Summer 08 handbag line. The first bag, the Jimmy Choo Face Canvas Bag, was not accepted widely by all of you. On the face bag, the four faces are taken from Phillips portrait Riot (1998). For the 70’s style Jimmy Choo Face Clutch, the sensual Richard Phillips Nuclear portrait is showcased on the smooth curves and red background of the bag. The frame of the clutch is made with Bakelite (resin) and gives off a very vintage look. For me, the clutch is a huge improvement from the tote. The tote is said to be a beach bag, and I just find it a bit creepy really. But the clutch is subtle and sensual, adding an artistic touch without being overboard. Pre-order through Neiman Marcus for $595.

The question is are both of these limited edition bags flops?

This bag reminds me of some of the clutches Carrie sported in the first two seasons of Sex and the City. I was a fan because I had never seen anything like it. But, this style has now been mass-produced, and degraded. It looks like a lunch box.
