Jimmy Choo Handbags

Finally, some fall bags are popping up here and the vast space we know as the internet. The Jimmy Choo Alex Suede Shoulder Bag showcases lush brown or black suede with watersnake trim. Stitched detail on the front along with double straps add to the outside appeal. Quite a few designers are opting for lilac lining, and I love it. Completely feminine and a refreshing option when you open your purse. But does this new Jimmy Choo release do it for you?

Jimmy Choo continues to make a place for itself in the designer handbag world. A new release, the Jimmy Choo Taytan Clutch shows off sultry red nappa leather with watersnake trim and beautiful gold hardware. There is a buckle detailed strap around the base. Jimmy Choo bags are notorious for the buckle detailing (maybe comes easy to them since they are shoe gods), and this clutch has three buckles on the front of the bag. A flap closure and chain link shoulder strap finish this bag off. So many of us have been head over heels for the Jimmy Choo Foldover Clutch, but will the Taytan make its way into your hearts? Via Net A Porter for $1435.

Ok, I am sure you are thinking to yourself, ‘Get it together, this Jimmy Choo clutch ordeal is getting old’. But I just can not help it. There is an array of versions available and I am completely bummed that I was too lame to nab the shocking blue before it sold out on NAP, so I am woefully basking in my misery and oogling over the new versions. Now I can drool over the shinier patent leather versions and attempt not to punch in my CC numbers to buy one. Version on the left is the Jimmy Choo Mave Leather Clutch in pewter antique mirror. This version also contains a suede panel ans silver square in the middle along with a foldover top. Lilac trim is the perfect clincher on this metallic beauty and price point is $975 at NAP. Version on the right is the slightly larger Jimmy Choo Marin Oversized Clutch which boasts walnut patent leather with suede panels on the back. A brass ring on the front along with a zip compartment on the bottom finish this larger version off at NAP for $1375.

Which do you prefer, if either? Or would you rather I just drop it? (Although I may choose to ignore your wishes )

I have been a huge fan of this clutch from the get-go. It is hip, young, and practical. So a new color and a new leather can make its way into my heart. Totally sultry and sexy, the Jimmy Choo Plum Patent Clutch will add a little vavoom with the shining patent leather, rich gold hardware, and perfect plum color. The clutch is a double zip and there is a brass logo plate and stud accents. From shocking blue, to understated gold, to this patent plum edition, I am confident that Jimmy Choo is onto something. This of course is a foldover clutch, with a magnetic snap closure and suede lining. Dimensions are 10½”W x 7″H x 1″D. If you loved this clutch before but wanted something a little more sophisticated, try this option. Via Saks for $975.

What are your thoughts on this multi-colored patent leather tote? Is it funky and edgy or does it look like a water color train wreck? The Jimmy Choo Malena Tote shows off a seemingly changing patent leather coloring on the east west tote along with contrast suede panels. Double handles along with a zip fastening top finishing off the top, while brass hardware adorns the outside. Through Net-A-Porter for $2300.

If we were to play the word association game, the term ‘Jimmy Choo’ would most likely warrant the response, ‘Shoes!’. Even being a handbag addict, you would still most likely say shoes, I know I would. But Jimmy Choo is trying to be a brand known for a bit of diversity; stunning shoes and stunning bags. It can be done, but the question is, are they doing it? I have no problem telling the folks behind Jimmy Choo that it is perfectly fine to keep a good thing going by slightly re-inventing it. The Ramona has been a hit along with the recent addition of the Foldover Clutch. A little bit of this and that, and poof, you have the Jimmy Choo Rio Oversize Clutch which bears a resemblance to its big sister, Ramona. This clutch which can also be used as a small shoulder/evening bag is designed with calf leather which is cinched with leather straps through silver rings. The chain link strap is detachable. Two pockets on the inside along with suede lining are found on the inside. The measurements are large, 16½”W X 9½”H X 3½”D, but perfect for the gal who carries a bit. What I am stumped about is the price. Sure I will splurge $550 for a pair of Choo shoes, but ask me to pay $1400 for a Choo clutch and I cringe. I’d opt for the 2.5 Choo’s that I could buy, but the clutch is still cute, just not that cute. Pre-order at Saks for $1395.

There is something so sultry and sexy about the color red. While red lipstick looks completely awful on me, a red bag suits me perfectly. My next red bag will be some sort of small Chanel (either 2.55 or clutch) but if you are looking for something a little bigger, more rich in color, yet still sexy, check out this Jimmy Choo. The Jimmy Choo Ramona Tote shows off a deep rouge color with gold hardware and large eyelets across the top with a thick strap threaded through. I love the laid back look of this bag, completely easy to wear everyday in a color that means business. A signature clasp on the front secures the threaded strap. My favorite lining for a bag, suede, is found on the inside and trimmed in lilac. I love my Rouge Paddington, but this oversized tote is another great option. Expensive, but sexy via Net A Porter for $2800.

I love having options. I have posted about the Jimmy Choo Foldover Clutch in three different options; black, metallic, and now mave electric blue. The Jimmy Choo Mave Foldover Clutch is an amazing blue color that is eye-catching, attention-drawing, and electric-coloring. I can see each color being perfect for a different occasion and this blue version can be for a younger gal or the gal who wants to party, not sit down for a nice dinner. Hell, this clutch can be for any gal wanting to do anything. Just love it! Via Net-A-Porter for $895.

Looks like many more people are accepting Jimmy Choo’s handbag designs than before. Recently seen on Victoria Beckham, the Jimmy Choo Foldover Clutch has popped up for nights on the town and red and orange carpet events. At the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, Hilary Duff showed up looking perfectly put together in a yellow dot dress and paired it with killer heels and the Jimmy Choo Metallic Foldover Clutch. This clutch is perfect with a sheen Italian leather, chunky goldtone hardware, and a removable wrist strap. Jimmy Choo is making a name for itself in the handbag world, finally (after many failed attempts). The clutch in the version Miss Duff carried is $825 through Saks. Via Fab Sugar

It’s all about hand-held bags. They may life easy, keep those arms and shoulders from hurting, and can be flung on the wrist like an over-sized dangling bracelet. I often travel with my Louis Vuitton Wapity which is a godsend. For a funky over sized clutch, the Jimmy Choo Foldover Calfskin Clutch is the perfect mix of shiny leather goodness and stylish gold tone hardware bling. The bigger the clutch the more that can be held, which is always a plus (dimensions are 9½”H X 13″L X 2″W). There is ample store room, including an outside zip pocket, interior zip pocket, and interior card pockets along with a wrist strap and suede lining. I’ve got an itch for this bag; playful, young, rocker, practical, and or sale through Saks for $1250.
