Okay, I won’t lie to you. This is the kind of object I see sitting on the store shelf, and I think to myself, “Jimmy Choo, what are you thinking? This thing is hideous.” And then some uptown girl in a DVF dress and huge shades breezes past me looking all relaxed and fabulous, and I can’t imagine that I didn’t love the bag on sight.
With a bag like the Robin, there’s a lot to love. The yellow color is amazingly vibrant, and the elaphe snakeskin edging is a fantastic contrast. The braided leather handles are beaded with amber bracelets, and the silver logo clasp is sleek and adds a geometric twist to the voluptuous shape of the bag. And then there’s the tassels.
So, when I say there’s a lot to love about this bag, there’s just so many details that your eye isn’t sure where to stop. Jimmy Choo says this line was inspired by the spirit of modern Africa, and I guess I can see where he’s coming from. That being said, there is a lot going on on the Robin, it all flows together well, but if you aren’t careful, this is the kind of bag that can really wear you instead of the other way around.
Personally, I find the abundance of details on the Robin simultaneously attractive and terrifying. I know I could never pull it off in real life. But, If you live for graphic prints and boho chic, then here’s a bag that can match your passions.
