Jimmy Choo gets in touch with its inner wild child with this zebra printed suede hobo. Honestly this is a bag I’m in two minds about. There’s a lot to like, but there’s also plenty that leaves me cold.
Zebra print can so easily look ostentatious, so I like its treatment here. The stripes are subtle in a shade only slightly different to the bag’s burgundy colored suede. This is also the right season for suede. Its soft, gentle texture just begs to be touched, and while it isn’t known for wearing well right now it looks lovely.
But then there are the more disappointing elements. The ring ornament is intended to be decorative, but in my opinion it doesn’t look very attractive. I’m also confused by the corset laced handle. Again, it seems overworked and not as appealing as Jimmy Choo intended. When you add all the separate parts together, they just don’t seem to make a lot of sense. The effect is one which appears more like a designer knock off than an authentic luxury purse.
But this zebra printed hobo still commands luxury prices though, in this case a whopping $1495. I don’t know about you, but I can think of several better ways to spend that kind of cash.
