Jimmy Choo Sky Shoulder Bag
June 5th, 2009 / Posted in Jimmy Choo Handbags, Shoulder Bags by Amanda Mull.
I’m using a kind of stock photo that we normally don’t choose for our posts here at PurseBlog in order to demonstrate the Jimmy Choo Sky Shoulder Bag for a few reasons. First, all of the traditional straight-on stock photos I could find have the bag overstuffed to the point of looking like a giant fringe-y rectangle hobo, and that’s not a good look. I try not to criticize a bag based on shortcomings that don’t actually exist, and when I took my first look at the regular shots of this bag, something told me that that’s not what the bag would be like if I actually saw it in the wild.
So when I started scrolling through all the detail shots, I got to the one of the mannequin wearing a slightly-less-stuffed version of the bag and it confirmed my first suspicion – this is actually pretty cool purse. The leather looks magnificent and the rows of short fringe don’t come off as overpowering or gimmicky. I think it was a great move to make the gusset out of regular flat leather instead of covering it with fringe, and the overall effect is that of an excellent everyday bag for fall and winter with a ton of personality. Which brings me to my second reason for making this post – it’s an important reminder to never trust stock photos to be gospel truth. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $2295.
Speaking of cattywumpus eyelashes…I am trying latisse. I hate wearing mascara because I wear contact lenses. At @ $100/m I am on day 10. No diff yet…
I´d actually like it better if fringed all around.
I quite like this bag. First Jimmy Choo bag I have liked in a long time. I’d wax a few chuckies for this one.
hahahahha

Great description! This bag is unique and different, but can be worn everyday. It has a great rocker chick look! Thanks for the info!
