I’m always saying that I’m not a big fan of Jimmy Choo, but this season’s line is really making me change my mind. It’s replete with fabulous ponyskin clutches like this one that combine his sophisticated aesthetic with a decidedly bohemian flare.
I’m not even really a fan of boho chic, but this clutch goes beyond that. It has a primitive look that is refreshing. That’s not to say that the materials or craftsmanship are anything less than you would expect from designer digs, because they aren’t. It’s just that Choo seems to be working within a new, less glossy paradigm that I really love.
The half-moon shape of this bag is great for a lot of reasons. Firstly, because the flat end will fit neatly in your palm, and secondly because it really draws attention to the laced edges and mimics the leopard spots on the ponyskin.
The combination of colors and textures is what makes this bag so extraordinary, though. The smooth leather laces give a piece-y texture to the edges of the bag, which contrasts with the voluptuous shape and coarse fur of the ponyskin. The single line of lime green lacing is a stroke of genius that ties the whole thing together.
The only thing wrong with the Damian clutch, as far as I can tell, is that I can’t afford it. At $1,895, it’s a boho bag at a Park Avenue price.
