Jimmy Choo is known as a modern designer with an eye for the classics. I know you love his shoes, so get ready to love his handbags, too.
Sometimes it’s hard to pull off the oversized bag trend without looking sloppy, but bags like Jimmy Choo’s Ramona simplify the size by keeping it structured and interesting. The 16″ x 11″ x 6″ size is great for toting all your take everywhere items, although since there is no zipper at the top, you might not want to pack it all in there.
I love the huge goldtone eyelets laced through with leather that give the Ramona its drawstring effect. The main compartment closes with a simple strap with gold logo closure. Ordinarily, I don’t love huge logo plates, but the closure on this bag is so simple and well designed that it doesn’t detract from the bag at all. In fact, I think its center placement draws interest in an elegant way.
The double straps are thick and would be comfortable held by hand or work over the shoulder. The soft leather exterior opens onto an even softer moleskin suede interior, accented by an interior logo plate. Since I think the only serious drawback of the bag is the mostly open top, I really like that there is an interior zipper pocket and two patch pockets to keep your things in place and organized.
At about $2,800 retail, the Ramona is a pretty hefty investment, but one that might be worthwhile for a woman with edgy taste looking to add a little dash of class to her wardrobe.
