Jimmy Choo Calfskin Hobo

Megs · Nov 8th, 2007, 12:21 PM

You know what I have not seen in a long time? A great black bag. No bells, no whistles, just a black bag to use everyday that is not trendy, just functional yet still appealing to the eye. And Jimmy Choo, who is known for their divine shoes, has embraced the handbag market, learned from early design flops, and began to pave a way for themselves in the handbag market. For a great everyday black handbag, the Jimmy Choo Calfskin Hobo will suit you perfectly. I love the slouchy appeal of the black calfskin and the tarnished feeling of the gold tone hardware. The shoulder strap is adjustable, which helps give this a nice snug feeling under your arm without pulling on your shoulder. The top closes with a magnetic snap and leads to brown suede lining with a nice lilac grosgrain trim. The interior focuses on usability, boasting a three section slide pocket and back zip pockets. Measurements are 13 1/2"H x 19 1/2"W x 1 1/2"D. This is such a perfect everyday black bag, I may just grab it for myself. Through Bergdorf Goodman for $1775.

It is the perfect size, perfect shape with clean design. I found myself in love with this bag.

I love, love, love it! It's a perfect hobo. Love the leather, the shape, everything! It's really simple and really elegant. Gorgeous

I have accumulated quite a few JC bags over the years, and all in all, I think they have many more hits than misses, but I don't like this bag. To me, it looks very ordinary for that price.

^ The price is high, but I find it to be the PERFECT black bag!

It is nice, but slightly too high priced for what it is...

The leather is nice, and the shape is okay, but it lack that essential "je ne sais quoi" factor to make it worth $1.8K.

wow this looks so lush, i just want to go squeeze the leather!

I think this bag looks hoorible worn because of the shape. It ends up looking, especially if it's not stuffed, like you're sporting a sloppy inner tube of a tire. Yay!

It sure looks great in the pic & I like that it has no "gimmicks", it lets that lovely leather do the talking.

Looks yum! I just want to touch the leather!!

I love how simple and elegant it is yet it still has nice detailing to it. Of course I am not crazy about the price.

i'd like to see this in person. the interior zip pockets have to be big enough for wallet and other valuables for me to even consider a bag that only has a magnetic snap closure. it does look quite beautiful though.

i like it.

I don´t like this bag at all. It´s way too sacky and has this shine that flat black bags have. I think it could be difficult to find your things from the bag,since the bottom of the bag is so wide and all the things inside easily could slide in the middle ,lowest part of the bag.
