As the great Nina Garcia once said on Project Runway, the fastest way to look cheap is to wear something short, tight, and shiny. I’m paraphrasing, but you get the idea – a confluence of characteristics can sometimes say exactly the wrong thing in a way that no one design flaw could say it by itself. That’s what appears to be going on with the Jimmy Choo Rosie Bag. First, the patent. Then the animal print. Then the color that no mammal has ever been accused of being. Then the overly trendy shape. One or two of these things, by themselves, may have been excusable.
It may still have been a cute bag. But when you combine all of these aspects together, they manage to simultaneously overwhelm and underwhelm me, if you get what I’m sayin’. I generally like things that verge a little bit into tacky territory, but this particular bag does cartwheels into it. And ultimately, it’s nothing if not mighty unfortunate. Buy through Saks for $895.
I think this purse should be put on the choo choo train out of bagland.
it’s not as ugly as you said, but it’s not great. Just OK…it would be nicer if it was just a plain print and a better colour..like electric blue or something.
Laugh-tastic! Saw this hideous thing and couldn’t wait to zoom in on the review. Nina Garcia is correct. And to add on Michael Kors’ line, “tacky, tacky, tacky.”
This would be cute if not for the color…
hi. you’re right. the bag’s really dowdy. the print? it’s like a leopard has been abused and skinned to death! who agrees?

thanks for the info about this Jimmy Choo bag. it’s really true.what’s up with the bag? it’s tasteless. and it’s very busy. the color, the print, the design. every detail is wrong. who affirms?

the bag isn’t that bad. Jimmy Choo’s experimenting on different styles that suits every interest of a person. maybe this bag would be loved by animal print lovers, or something. 🙂

i agree with you. people have different tastes. and this bag is really not that tacky. it’s just that it’s loud. but all in all. it’s ok. who agrees?

hi. the bag would’ve been lovely if it wasn’t for the busy print. but in totality, it’s just ok. one can wear it casually. right guys?

the bag’s a little tacky. yet pricey-pricey. maybe one could wear it when she’s in the jungle?

the bag’s in the middle ground. one may like it, while others may hate it. as for me, i don’t like it. it’s shabby. expensive yet it doesn’t suit my style. if the color would just be plain white or black sans animal print, then i would love to grab one!

i agree! it’s definitely about the tastes of people. if one likes it, then she’ll buy it. but ignores it if she doesn’t like it. the bag is so-so. it’s not great, and it’s not bad.

it’s really dowdy. i can’t even look at the bag for long. but you’re right, it’s about the likes and dislikes of the buyer. but fashion is complaining about this.

the print and the color? in the wrong place. the style and details of the bag, it’s ok.

the bag is actually nice. it’s unique. as what others have said. it depends on the person if she likes it or not. but the color doesn’t incorporate well wit every details. maybe if it’s in a different hue, then many would like it. 🙂

the bag lacks incorporation. that’s it. if i see someone who wears that, i’ll know immediately she’ll go on a tour in the safari.

yes. i know! it’s a busy busy bag. overly trendy. not my taste. one may wear it if she doesn’t think of fashion.
