Jimmy Choo’s accessories collection is one of my favorite of the year. It has an edgy, urban sensibility that still manages to stay classic. The Zulu clutch is a fabulous addition to the line’s offering.
Black leather, studs, and fringe don’t automatically make you think “elegant”. They make me think “motorcycle”, actually. And while the Zulu definitely has a moto-chic inspired look, it’s still elegant.
The multiple layers of leather fringing give the bag an interesting shape and volume. The fringe manages to stay on the safer side of sleek because it is short and has wide cuts, unlike the long stringy more bohemian versions. The studding is subtle. It gives the Zulu a little rocker-y sparkle, but since the studs are flat, it doesn’t come off as obvious.
The overall effect is downtown, but versatile. The Zulu would be apropos for a night of clubbing, but it could also just add a little glimmer to an understated LBD. For $975, the Zulu is a great piece, but definitely one that is a significant investment for an evening bag.
