At this point, Jimmy Choo has made so many of these belt-top bags that I’m starting to get really confused. This one is called the Jimmy Choo Riley Hobo. Whatever it’s name, I’m sure to get it mixed up with all of their other belted options. Do I think that’s a bad thing? Not necessarily; it would be if this was their only line, but they’ve got a few other looks going on simultaneously. I’m ok with it, I think it’s a good look, and I wouldn’t mind owning one. They’re professional without being boring to look at, and that’s pretty rare. I’d take it in a color besides boring beige, though, but that’s easy to fix.
I like that this one can be more easily shoulder-carried than a lot of their tote options (I never, ever buy totes – they fall off my shoulder), but I would have preferred it with one strap. What’s up with companies lately adding an extra strap to their hobos? It’s so not necessary, and one strap on any two-strap bag is constantly fall off for me. Can we not all agree that hobos, at the very least, should be free of unnecessary extra straps? Buy through Saks for $1995.
Love it!
Hmmm…this bag has me thinking I like it a lot better than all of the other belted styles by Jimmy Choo…plus this one is NOT over the top with embellishments, which makes it more appealing to me. However the price is always a little scary…yikes!
I think they should put this belt style to rest. It has never been my favorite Choo style.
I agree with janis. It should put this belt style to rest… and the price is scary… =)
I’ve always loved the Jimmy Choo belted styles. Definitely a bag I would consider if I had the budget.
I beg to differ with your gripe about bags with two straps. I have the MbMJ Dr. Q Hillier Hobo, and I LOVE the convertible straps! It’s my first such bag with straps like these. When I’m feeling in the mood for a hobo/shoulder bag, I wear it on my shoulder. When I’m running errands or shopping, I wear it crossbody. Sometimes, in one outting, I’ll wear it both ways =D It feels like I’m getting two bags in one!
I have it in black… Yeah price is scary but you will love it believe me
