Jimmy Choo Handbag
It's bright, it's bold, it's Jimmy Choo's Candy Acrylic Shoulder Clutch. It's made of hard acrylic in bright yellow (although it also comes in pink) and features a silvertone shoulder strap that can be hidden inside the bag if you prefer to go with true clutch styling. A definite contemporary look, this bag will modernize your favorite LBD or brighten up an otherwise drab ensemble. An asymmetrical fold-over front, ridge details, and a logo embossed prominently on the front round out the exterior features while the interior boasts a tonal leather and gold satin lining, and one patch pocket. $495

Jimmy Choo Bardia Buckled Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Jimmy Choo Bardia Buckled HoboThe Jimmy Choo Bardia Buckled Hobo is a sexy bag for day or night.

The second thing we noticed about the bag (first was the pretty goldtone buckles which give it its alluring shape) was the texture. This is shagreen-embossed calf leather.

What's "shagreen," you ask? It's a leather made from rough, untanned skin. If it looks familiar to you, it's probably because it's the same stuff you see on the hilts of swords and daggers (the texture is good for gripping). Now, this is just shagreen-embossed, but the roughness is definitely achieved, and the effect is a rugged elegance.

The Jimmy Choo Bardia Buckled Hobo is available for pre-order from Neiman Marcus for $1,695.00.

Jimmy Choo Martha Pony Skin Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

clutch
Who doesn't like a clutch for its undeniable portability? Better yet, who doesn't like a expandable handbag of any size? For these two reasons I am cheering for Jimmy Choo's new Martha Pony Skin Clutch which couples portability with versatility in volume. Constructed of multi-colored pony skin and suede marked in the middle by an asymmetric gold-tone zipper, which reveals a little extra space, this clutch is smartly sassy easily converting from day to night. It also features a hidden magnetic closure on the flap, an internal pocket with zipper and a tan suede lining with lilac trim. It's functional expandability reminds me of Jimmy Choo's Middle Zip Hobo I covered earlier this year. (11" x 7" x 2") for $1,595

Jimmy Choo For H&M

Filed under: Handbags, Shoes

Fast fashion just got a boost with the announcement that H&M is partnering with shoe and handbag brand Jimmy Choo. The luxury brand, famous for sky-high stilettos and large purses, will create a line of shoes, bags and accessories for men and women that arrive in stores on November 14. Tamara Mellon, Jimmy Choo's founder and chief executive, promises "a sophisticated, fashion forward, accessible and glamorous collection - the perfect party pieces to buy now and then wear out that night!"

Jimmy Choo will create clothing for H&M which will be designed to match the accessories rather than the other way around. With all the designers pairing up with lower-priced stores there has been a bit of high-low fatigue lately but this particular collaboration should be a hot seller.

Lucy Leather Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Brown leather is so classic and appealing -- I think almost all of us have owned a brown leather bag at some point in our lives! Jimmy Choo understands the appeal as well as anyone, shaping it this time into a richly-colored brown leather printed shoulder bag called "Lucy." It features a simple foldover front with a clip fastening. All the hardware is goldtone, which includes more clip fastenings on the shoulder strap and zipper closure along the bag's top. Plus several pockets and a tan suede lining can be found inside. $1,495

Jimmy Choo Rosie Leopard Print Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Jimmy Choo Rosie Leopard Print BagThe Jimmy Choo Rosie Leopard Print Bag, in keeping with the Riki Bag we featured the other day, is another brave and accomplished use of leopard printed patent leather by Jimmy Choo.

This delightful, shiny green 8"W X 7½"H X 2½"D purse has ultrasuede lining, interior and exterior pockets, and a 22" adjustable strap. The goldtone grommets and fliplock closure give this bag an air of opulence and glamour. We'd love to see this paired with a white outfit and a bold, red lip.

We are also refreshed by the dark, foresty emerald color -- seems like everything's been grassy for the last two years. Well done, Jimmy Choo!

The Jimmy Choo Rosie Leopard Print Bag is available for pre-order from Saks Fifth Avenue for $895.

Jimmy Choo Riki Leopard Print Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Jimmy Choo Riki Leopard Print BagThe Jimmy Choo Riki Leopard Print Bag is an eye-catching new addition to any wardrobe.

Easily paired with jeans or your business suit, this 14"W X 9"H X 5½"D bag is heavily decorated with goldtone grommets, tassels, ruchable pleats, and a flip lock closure.

The leopard printed, shiny patent leather is frivolous and fun, but still demonstratively powerful -- this is clearly a bag to be carried by a woman to be reckoned with. There are two cell phone pockets and a zipper pocket inside the purse, which is lined in ultra suede for added luxury.

The Jimmy Choo Riki Leopard Print Bag is available for pre-order in this lovely bordeaux color from Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,750.

Rainbow Snake Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


I love clutches anyway, and although this one is so bright as to be bordering on obnoxious I think it could really work as an awesome way to beat both the doldrums of winter and the doldrums of a bland evening outfit. Shades of fuchsia, teal, and gold make this Rainbow Snakeskin Clutch by Jimmy Choo stand out from the crowd, while the structured tube design keeps things simple. It comes accented with a golden clasp at the top and a gold fabric lining, plus there are solid colors available if you prefer. £735

Jimmy Choo Middle Zip Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


In my opinion navy will forever be a classic tone that compliments anyone's look. Jimmy Choo certainly created a charming handbag made of both navy calf leather and suede marked by goldtone hardware and featuring a convertible middle zipper. This expandable, multi-purpose bag speaks of subdued luxury and understated glamour. Sling the top handles over your arm and it's bound to put a little bounce in your step. The Jimmy Choo Middle Zip Hobo retails for $1,595. (10" x 9 2/3" x 7 3/4")

Jimmy Choo's Hot New Patent Pair: Lola & Lois, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Jimmy Choo rarely disappoints whether it's shoes or handbags. Certainly his new saucy duo, Lola & Lois, is no exception. With their similar patent leather look and chunky size they make for hefty handbags. Each has its own distinct look -- Lois sports a detachable mini-messenger bag while Lola presents in a sassy Bordeaux color -- so you really can't go wrong preferring one over the other. Its feels a bit early to me to be breaking out the patent leather but if you buy it now then you'll be ready when the seasons change. Both are available for $2,495.

Jimmy Choo Kase Oval Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


A clutch that manages to be both simple and interesting, this Jimmy Choo Kase Oval Clutch is made of goldtone metal and features a single over-sized amethyst stone on the center of both sides. It's fully lined with a small "Jimmy Choo" logo stamp on the outside and another logo on the inside. I'd prefer it in silver myself, but overall it's a gorgeous bag that really looks more like a piece of jewelry than a handbag -- if you like to keep things simple it would go great with a black dress and minimal other accessories. $1495

Jimmy Choo Malena Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Some bags are meant for specific occasions, some bags are meant to make a statement, and some bags are meant to be exceptionally stylish for a very short period of time. And still other bags are meant to be flexible, to do and to go wherever you need them. This Jimmy Choo Malena Shoulder Bag fits into that category. Stylish and neutral, this bag will carry your everyday essentials alongside your everyday outfits with ease. It features vanilla patent leather paired with suede, lots of buckles, a few zippers, and brushed brass detailing. $1,975
