Jimmy Choo Handbags

Last month I lamented over my lost Jimmy Choo Zulu Clutch. Tragic, I know. And then, last week, it appeared. Why wouldn’t I have looked in an old shoe box that had some random items from when I moved into this place over 6 months ago? Silly me. My final cleaning and finally going through every single nook and cranny of this house took many hours of many days, but it finally complete. I have been reacquainted with my Jimmy Choo bag and I adore it. And no, I do not typically treat my bags like that, very unlike me. Read on...

Jimmy Choo is doing things a little bit differently this season, eh? Known previously for structured (or at least mostly structured) handbags, the brand has seemingly gone in a completely different direction lately – and if they’re wrong, I don’t want to be right! My day job is in a creative industry (as is this, my night job, I suppose) and I’m kind of disorganized and “unbuttoned” anyway, so super-structured bags (or anything) really aren’t my scene. I love the slouch.

The Jimmy Choo Lara Shoulder Bag is a perfect example of Choo’s new look. In perfect winter white, the bag looks soft enough to sleep on (just stuff a few old t-shirts inside). I have a feeling that this is the kind of bag that looks even better with your stuff in it – wonderfully saggy and supple without entirely losing its shape. Plus, winter white looks great against the greys and chocolate browns that characterize cold-weather clothing. So, what’s stopping you? Buy through Net-a-Porter for $1125.

I have not actually labeled a handbag a fug bag for a while. So long in fact that you all make wake up to a shock on Purse Blog. It is right, I am starting the week off with a fug bag. But can you really blame me? I mean, come on, I have a bone to pick with this bag. Where do I even begin here? Ok, let me try.

I have given so much love to Jimmy Choo bags and now I have to take it all back, at least take it back for this bag. First of all, plain and simple, what the heck is going on? Who really wants to pay nearly $1,100 for a sack of tacky PVC? I have the unfortunate task of introducing you to the Jimmy Choo Dylan Beach Bag, which is made with clear and neon pink PVC. I get it, we all need beach bags. And right now in Florida it is still in the 70’s, so it is still beach weather friendly. But this look is just all kinds of cheap. Really, there is not much else for me to say.

Do you need a good and sturdy beach bag? Yes. Even a plastic beach bag is a major plus as far as clean up goes. But to spend this exorbitant amount of money for the name is silly. And most importantly the bag does not even look great. I love Jimmy Choo, I love Jimmy Choo bags, but this bag makes no sense to me in so many ways. Over-spend at Net A Porter for $1050.

Jimmy Choo Mave Foldover Clutch

I suppose my repeated love of this clutch is jumping out and telling me to buy it. ‘Quit just staring at me and coveting me’ it says, ‘rather snatch me up!’. Ok, already! You don’t have to twist my arm much. I have covered the Jimmy Choo Marin Clutch many times, in a variety of leathers, colors, and styles. And now, there is this bright electric green leather on the Jimmy Choo Mave Foldover Clutch. It reminds me of the 80’s, with psychedelic neon colors. Is that a bad thing? I mean, come on, I live in South Florida. The glitz and glam rules the streets and I could totally pull this off. Knowing me, I will opt for a more toned-down version, but there is something neon funky about this. Makes me want to go out for a Ladies 80’s night!

This Mave Foldover Clutch features bright green leather with suede panels. There is gold hardware and my favorite, the wristlet handle. This clutch is made to be used. Some clutches just take over your hand, or have to go under your arm, but the functionality of the wrist strap is priceless. There is a zip top and a zip pocket at the front of the bag and inside. Buy through Net A Porter for $995.

I’ve said it before, and I am sure to say it again. From time to time, I stumble across handbags where I don’t know why, but I just like them. For whatever reason, this Jimmy Choo Medium Saba Bag is one that falls in the “like” category. As I think about it a bit, I find myself liking it for the simple fact that it is different. Some of you out there can pull off a variety of shapes, styles and colors while I tend to stick to things that are pretty typical of my taste. I wouldn’t say I never venture out and try something a little different, but it is definitely sporadic. I love the saffron suede. It is true, I am a sucker for suede, but I have to say, this color is simply delightful. At the same time, I am a huge fan of the slouchiness (is that even a real word?!?!) of the bag. I don’t know about you, but there is something fun, relaxed and easy going about a handbag with this kind of shape. And of course, how can you not notice the gold-tone ring detailing on the strap? Again, this is something different, something that I like. I haven’t found many Jimmy Choo bags to swoon over lately, but this could very well be one! Buy through Net-a-Porter for $1,495.

Jimmy Choo Zulu Snakeskin Clutch

Today I find myself laying in bed with my lap top watching Regis and Kelly and not feeling like starting the day. Luckily I have no one here to yell at my desired workplace for today, so I shall just continue here for the next few hours. Last night I was re-organizing my closet and I realized I was missing one of my favorite clutches.

A simple clutch, a good price, a little rocker edge, and poof! it is gone. I introduced you all to the clutch, the Jimmy Choo Zulu Clutch, a while back. Where exactly has my clutch gone? I may just lay in bed lamenting for all of eternity/today, but I am super frustrated. And because I will keep feeling a void, I had to see if the clutch (at its great price) is still out there.

What I ran into was the exotic sister of my clutch, the Jimmy Choo Zulu Snakeskin Clutch. The stone snakeskin front is complemented with a soft suede back and the perfect finishing touch of golden pyramid studs. The overall design is rather simple, with a zipper closure and an interior slip pocket. Nothing much to this clutch, but I truly do miss mine. I may shed a tear, or may just opt to buy a new one to replace it. Not sure. Buy through Saks for $795.

Jimmy Choo Sky Hobo Bag

Sorry for the late start today, but there is just so much to do so little time. As you know last week Vlad and I spent in NYC. We have amazing interviews and pictures to come (so excited to share with you all!). Things are hectic around here today as we are getting things situated before Vlad leaves on Thursday for Germany for two weeks. I am staying home to hold down the fort and Shannon is headed to California. We have so many things in store for you all, just hang tight!

While in NYC Vlad and I did not over-shop, at least in our minds. Of course we shopped, but not crazily. I nearly left Hermes with a new goodie, but I decided to wait for something else and we got Vlad a treat instead, a Hermes wallet. We will photograph it later, but it is his new pride and joy. We picked up a few items from another store, and those pictures will come later. Read the full article below...

As almost all of us know, fringe is huge right now. Even if you don’t read up on fashion trends daily or even monthly, you are sure to have noticed the fringe accenting on handbags, shoes and clothing. Personally, I haven’t found many fringe accented handbags that I’ve liked. Maybe this style is just not one I feel I can pull off. However, when I came across the Jimmy Choo Diane Kid Fringe Hobo, I had to stop and say, “wow, I might actually like this”. To me, the fringe looks soft and movable. One of my biggest pet peeves with fringe is that it can look stiff and too rugged. But here, the soft leather style is one so many of us could pull off without looking completely out of place (even if fringe isn’t typically for you). The golden hardware adds some flavor to the leather bag and really adds to the look of the bag without seeming to be too much. Usually, I stray from handbags that have too much going on, but here, it seems like everything just pieces together really nicely. I’ve yet to add a Jimmy Choo bag to my collection and I don’t think this would be my first Jimmy Choo purchase, but I do actually like it. What do you think – is the fringe a hit or a miss? Buy through Saks for $1,495.

What is the very first thing that comes to your mind when you saw this bag? Honestly, I thought of the movie Pocahontas. I know that the bohemian chic look is one that seems to be all over the place. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love the bohemian look as much as the next person, I just don’t know if I could pull of this Jimmy Choo Savannah Pouch Bag. Well, now that I think about it a bit more, this bag looks a little more folk than bohemian. Of course, in typical Jimmy Choo fashion, the bag is made with great quality. The tan suede pouch clearly has fringing, which is all everywhere this fall as well as beaded embroidery. Although the fold over top might look like it just hangs, the flap actually as a magnetic closure, which is a huge plus. Lined with suede and lilac trim, clearly, the bag was well thought about from start to finish. But, at the end of the day, if I am going to buy an expensive handbag like this one, I need to make myself feel better by figuring out a way to justify the purchase at least a little bit. I don’t really know where I would wear this nor which outfit would compliment it. I am sure there are plenty of you out there who can pull it off, but I don’t think I am a part of that group. What do you think? Is this bag worth the price? Buy through Net-a-Porter for $1,650.
