Jimmy Choo Zebra Print Saba
I don’t typically turn to celebrities for style advice. But I do love to see what they wear, and there are a few celebrities whose style catches my eye and makes me look at a bag differently. Jessica Simpson is not on the top of my role model or style icon list, but when she wore the Jimmy Choo Saba I fell in love with it even more. I will give myself credit that I enjoyed the bag before Jessica wore it, but really loved to see it on her in person. I ran to the boutique and tried the bag on. It was not super heavy, the leather was divine, and the slouch was perfect. The leather versions are great, but I wanted something more, I wanted the extra pizazz. If you are looking for pizazz, the Jimmy Choo Zebra Print Saba has exactly that. The brown and white ponyskin zebra print give the bag a very sexy factor. Many animal prints add a spice to your outfit or accessory. I am a huge fan of leopard and zebra print shoes, and I am thinking of venturing this love into the bag world. Another great addition is the bangle bracelets on the strap, which really are the focal point of the bag. The inside is lined in sand suede and there is a zip internal pocket. There are two problems. Number one, the bag is sold out. Number two, the bag costs $3395 via NAP. That is a steep price to pay, but it is also a sassy bag, and it looks like enough people loved it to buy it. Keep checking with Net A Porter to see if they restock, but this bag is also available in black nappa leather for $2450 via Saks.

Jimmy Choo Zulu Clutch
A couple of weeks ago Vlad and I stopped by the Jimmy Choo store at the Bal Harbour Shops. I went into the store assuring myself that I would leave empty handed; I just wanted to look around. Well, I am a horrible looker, I always end up wanting a little something. While the shoes enticed, there were bags that surely caught my attention. Ramonas, Marin Clutches, and Mahalas.

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.

Jimmy Choo Saba
I hve already professed my undying love for the Jimmy Choo Marin Clutch, again and again and again. And now I have a new love when it comes to Jimmy Choo bags. The Jimmy Choo Saba has already graced the arms of celebrities likes Jessica Simpson and has been labeled the next big bag from the House of Jimmy Choo. This bag will do well because it is fun, slouchy, and easy to wear. There leather is soft nappa and the shoulder strap is what catches the eye. On the shoulder strap there are African inspired bangles adorning the strap. The bangles hit at the right spot so that they will not dig into your shoulder, rather just appeal to everyone looking on. With the shabby chic look being in (especially in LA), this really is the perfect addition. Pair your skinny jeans or tights, t-shirt, layered cardigan, lots of jewels, and this bag together, and you are good to go. Dimensions are big; L18 x H14 x W14″. The price is steep, but what do you expect from a company that sells shoes averaging around $700. Buy through Saks for $2450.

This is just a heads up for those of you that are fans of the Jimmy Choo Marin Clutch. Net-A-Porter is now carrying it in black leather. Yes, simple black leather, suede panels on the black, and brushed brass hardware. There have been a plethora of versions that Jimmy Choo has released of this hit clutch, including camel leather, silver metallic, plum patent leather, my personal favorite electric blue, and zebra print.

It works for day wear, it works for evening wear, and it is an all around great bag. Buy through Net A Porter for $1,250.

Jimmy Choo Mona Large Tote
I have chosen not to pass judgment on this bag, rather let you all make the decision. We all know the Jimmy Choo Ramona, Mahala, and Clutch have garnered a following. But what about this Mona? The Jimmy Choo Mona Large Tote features a black leather and suede body with gold hardware. The tote sports a zip fastening around the middle, which makes this bag act as an accordion, being able to lengthen or compact at the middle. By undoing the central zip, the bag becomes larger and will expose the logo plaque. The inside is lined in suede and has lilac ribbon trim. Buy through Net A Porter for $1,995.

Jimmy Choo Marin Leather Clutch
This exact clutch is one of my favorites. I love that Jimmy Choo continues to release it in new colors, designs, and materials to appeal to the masses. While many of you were not keen on the Jimmy Choo Marin Zebra Clutch (nor was I), this version should appeal to most everyone. The Jimmy Choo Marin Leather Clutch has been given a subtle natural makeover and is ready for year-around-wear with its camel leather and matte gold hardware. The camel leather is divine; very elegant and very easy to transition from season to season and day to night. This is the large version, but large clutches are in so it should be no worry. There is also a large detachable wrist strap which makes for ease of carrying. The flap-over leads to the suede lining. This neutral color is stunning and ideal for the lover of this Jimmy Choo handbag. Buy through NAP for $1,250.

Jimmy Choo Face Canvas Bag
Many of the resort handbags are really quirky. I am talking about colorful weaves, splattered paint, faces, and intricate designs. I have not fully bought into it yet, and am laying low and trying to find my way through some of the designs. Take this Jimmy Choo bag for example, it is really out there. The four faces placed on the Jimmy Choo Face Canvas Bag give a whole new meaning to meet my bag. Yes, meet my bag staring Lydia, Sasha, Marilyn, and Maria. The faces are mostly black and white, but then there is very over-done eyeshadow that sticks out on each. Someone needs to tell Sasha that her blue eye shadow has her resembling Mimi. There are two shoulder straps and a top zip. I am pleasantly surprised that the bag is lined in suede, totally chic. Dimensions are 19″W X 17″H X 6″D. Pre-order through Saks for $975.

There is a lot going on with this clutch. Not only is there a brown and white zebra print pattern, but the material is ponyskin. And Choo has added another dimension with the gray watersnake trim that seems to have a bit of a glimmer and shine to it. The Marin clutch has been a huge hit for Jimmy Choo, but is the Jimmy Choo Marin Zebra Clutch fab or drab? This is the oversized version, which if you don’t realize it, is huge. The dimensions are 14.5″ W x 9″ H. While NAP shows this with a moo moo-esque dress (better known as a Temperley London kaftan), this clutch would look great with a very simple outfit; skinny jeans, white top, and sexy heels. Does the ponyskin/watersnake/zebra combo put this bag over the top for you in a good way or bad way? Available through Net A Porter for $1,875.
Fab or Drab?

Right off the bat this handbag carries a very different look. The gray is a subtle hue, that is soothing, and then there are large circular studs that run up and down the sides of the bag. Yet the subtle gold metallic under-layer shines through the metallic gray perforated Jimmy Choo Riki Bag perfectly. The hardware is gold but it appears very subtle, as if it is silver, not gold. There are double top handles and one of Jimmy Choo’s signatures, thin straps of leather threaded through rings along the top. When I look at this bag I love it, but I can not put together exactly why. Why does a bag that seems to have quite a bit going on lure me in? Must be because I own plenty of ’simply’ bags and maybe I am subconsciously telling myself I need a new funky bag. If that is the case, thank you self for allowing myself to believe I need a new handbag. Buy through Net A Porter for $2,295.
