I’ve heard that turquoise is the color of spring this year. Ok, well, I heard it from something that Megs said on Twitter, so maybe I can’t claim any original research in the “color of the season” category, but turquoise sounds just about as likely as anything else. I have seen a lot of hot pink bags for spring, though, so I’d like to nominate that for second place.
Anyway, turquoise: perfectly lovely, thankful to hear that it’s going to be big in the next few months. I much choose it to orange or an alternative that looks equally awful next to my skin. So, time to find a good turquoise handbag, I suppose, and the Jimmy Choo Rahmyn Snake-Embossed Hobo is one of the strongest contenders that I’ve found.
Most of the Jimmy Choo bags that I’ve seen recently have been trying way too hard to be special and interesting, and the thing that I find refreshing about this one is that it isn’t striving to be cooler than it is. instead of being covered with a ton of unnecessary embellishment and hardware, Choo’s designers chose to do expertly dyed leather in a seriously drool-worthy color and easy shape, and it works so much butter than trying to make an average bag spectacular with glitter and fringe.
Embossed leather is not my favorite option, but it looks like they did a fairly unoffensive job of turning this bag into synthetic snake, so I’ll let it slide this time. The contrasting snake trim is a good touch, and the texture works to make the bag less boring than it would have been in regular leather. I can already imagine how beautiful this will look against white linen when the weather turns warm. purchase through Nordstrom for $1495.
