Jimmy Choo Newbie!

Welcome j0vena. I love the bags you've picked out, very nice in black and white. The black one is either a Ramona or Riki and the white one is a Mahala. You can get them at Bergdorfgoodman.com, saks.com or jimmychoo.com Jimmy CHoo online has the best selection. With all the ladies help here, I just ordered a plum Mahala. Hope this helps!

what are the exact names of these bags? and where can i get them?
Welcome j0vena! 
You don't list your location, so other than jimmychoo.com, there may be lots of other options. Please check out our new reference library, we are in the process of building it, but there are over 100 entries so far (YAY girls go!). There are also some modeling pics, too!
The first bag you show is either the Ramona, or it's smaller sister Riki. A few of our Choo forum members have them in black or blue. I believe it is called the "wet look," or patent Ramona (or Riki). It is an older release, not sure of the exact season, but 6 months is old in the bag business. I wouldn't let that have any bearing on the desirability. I plan to wear my Choos when I'm 75 years old, LOL.
The second white bag is either the Mahala or it's smaller sister the Maddy. It looks more like the Mahala to me, but it is hard to judge the proportions in a stock photo. I'm pretty sure the whlte was from S/S 07.
One other thing I want to mention is BEWARE of bags on eBay. At least 95% of the Choos there are fakes.
You will never find a true authentic Choo for a couple hundred bucks. There is an authentication thread in our forum, so make sure to post any eBay bags there BEFORE BIDDING.
Most of us have been burned there, it is not pleasant.
Most of all have fun. This is a great forum and we all share our obsession and information, wholeheartedly!

Jburgh has just provided you the survival tips! Goodluck! 
Welcome j0vena
The ladies are right, you have come to the right place to fulfill your Jimmy Choo Fetish and once you buy one...... You're history
You will never be happy with just one
and before you know it, the little Jimmy Choo bags somehow magically multiply in the closet
The Black Patent Ramona is a Beauty and I am currently carrying her now. She is my everyday bag for the most part. It was released for Fall Winter 2006, so finding an authentic Ramona or Riki will be very tough, but if you do find one, PLEASE follow everyone Else's advice and have it authenticated before you buy and definitely check out the thread to get familiar with the patent Riki/Ramona's.
So glad you joined us
