Jimmy Choo’s designs have been getting edgier and edgier the past few seasons. They haven’t just been getting edgier, either, they’ve been getting more and more innovative. His latest textured bags are some of my favorite that the line has ever put out, and the Saba is one of them.
The black leather strips that make up the Saba have been arranged in an undulating, wave-like pattern. I really like the way that Choo has broken up the weaves with upraised seams, because the vertical lines reinforce the pattern’s overall curviness,
The shape of the Saba is like a squared-off hobo. It’s slouchy enough to be casual, but the seam designs give it a more structured look, and keep it from appearing sloppy. The asymmetric handle is a great touch, but I don’t know how I feel about the silver and leather bracelet. It’s just a little weird and, for me, it interrupts what would otherwise be an almost perfect minimal design.
I wouldn’t kick the Saba out of my closet, but at $2,695, I won’t be rushing out to buy it, either.
