Jimmy Choo’s past few seasons of bags have been among my favorite on the market. He’s taken an edgier, more downtown approach to design, and it really suits the line. Unfortunately, this Ally tote is a little regressive in terms of his aesthetic.
There’s nothing particularly wrong with the Ally. It’s just a little boring compared with some of his more bohemian designs. It has a very traditional rectangular shape and size. The pull through straps are the most interesting design element, but on such a conservative bag they just look a little awkward.
The rich brown leather has a luxurious pebbled texture that is versatile and durable. This is the kind of bag that you buy because it will go with anything and last forever, not because it is particularly stylish. I guess they call bags like this “timeless”, but in this case it’s only because the Ally hasn’t integrated trends from any era, not because it’s particularly classic.
Overall, I just find this bag boring. And for $1,995, the last thing I want is boring.
