I went to the VIP Jimmy Choo for H&M shopping event this past Friday — the day before the line officially launched in stores. It was super-fun (I got to meet Christian Siriano! He’s so friendly though I felt like a giant standing next to him!), but as I said over on Couture Snob where I wrote about the line’s clothing pieces, it was pretty chaotic though the H&M staff was super friendly and helpful. I can’t imagine what it must have been like on the non-press event launch, especially given that the collection made its debut on a Saturday. People were literally spending thousands of dollars (which at H&M means you’re buying a looot), and snapping-up everything in sight. I bought the pink clutch that Paris Hilton is carrying in the photo above ($59.95). It’s cute in a very Barbie-esque way. The only downer is that it’s a bit small (it does though, for those that are wondering, have room for a Blackberry). Overall while the quality of the handbags is not the best, for the price-points you can’t really complain given that they’re spot-on style-wise (especially the zebra clutch! I would have so gotten it if I didn’t have something similar from Dolce & Gabbana already).
What do you think about the Jimmy Choo for H&M line? Did you shop the collection on Saturday?
