Jimmy Choo may be more famous for peep-toe shoes than purses, but if the label continues to create revolutionary designs like the Mona that might just change.
The Mona manages to combine chic city style with functionality. Khaki patent leather complements ivory suede and shiny gold hardware. Studs and vertical zip pockets add edge and a little more practicality.
It’s perfect for packrats, or girls who just want to let everyone know they’re carrying a Jimmy Choo original. But the real feature is that North West zip, which helps the bag expand and reveals the shiny gold nameplate.
The Mona may be a skinny Minnie, but that only adds to its style cred. It’s a little hard to look chic and sleek while carrying a bulky bag after all. You may need to leave those unwieldy items at home to maintain the slim profile, but there’s plenty of space for daytime essentials and some luxuries besides.
The only sticking point here is the price. At nearly $2000, this is clearly a case of paying for the Jimmy Choo name rather than the handbag itself. The leather and suede are lovely, but they’re not the exotics I’d expect for this kind of price tag.
