Jimmy Choo Christy, AKA The Hairy Coconut

jimmychoo_christy.jpg

Yes, it is a hairy coconut or worse, whatever nasty image your mind can handle. This clutch made entirely of metal and chains is the most ill conceived piece of work I have ever seen. I get that fringe is in but fringes are only appealing (which they’re not but let’s pretend) because they are wispy and will move around softly with you. Metal however does not have those qualities and unless you are hiding piranhas in that thing, there is no other reason for it. Metal is also heavy and apparently a rare commodity because this clutch is $4550. Even if you’re ok with that, what about what it looks like? How do I say this politely? Um, there are certain anatomical parts on a man that frankly I can do without EVER seeing much less have it replicated in a larger form using material that is prickly and looks even more scraggly. And then what? I prance around town with it in my hand? No thanks. You must pre-order at Jimmy Choo. And who the heck is Christy? I’d hate to be the muse for this one.

  1. oooh tina harsh! 🙂 but I cant believe the price and the ugliness…what are they thinking over there? I would totally blow this and get the Maia N ostrich bag instead…and for the same price?!?!?

  2. This one gets my “Oh no they didn’t” award. It’s a tie between this metal wire sponge and the Chanel Himalaya triangle tote furballs. If it’s so expensive, it better be plated in platinum or I can smell the rusting from here already.

    Start crying when this lovely thing snags your silk dress!

  3. hahah kelly this is so funny and accurate! i just don’t understand how someone who makes a metal bag that looks like a hairy coconut can be called a designer.

  4. God I hope it’s not named “Christy” after Christy Turlington. She’s gorgeous. This is hideous. I bet she’s pissed. They should publish a list (and I’m sure it will be a short one) of the poor saps that actually shell out the $4550 for this clutch. It’s an insane waste of money, and they should be publicly ridiculed.

  5. God, what has Jimmy Choo been smoking lately? This is by far one of the ugliest bags I have EVER laid eyes on. And how awful is that fringe??? Jimmy’s gonna have to work hard to win back my love after creating this nasty excuse for a clutch.

  6. Victoria,

    just FYI. Jimmy Choo does not design the bags or own the company. He sold his propriety rights to Tamara Mellon. She’s the President. And the one responsible for the designs is his niece Sandra Choi who works with the brand as the Creative Director.

  7. this kind of purses looks so beautiful ,

    if you attend an important party, you absolutely need a purse like that , so if you want to own this brand name Handbag, you will find it here
