Just Cavalli Lace Giraffe Hobo

I find this Jimmy Choo Keeya tote very appealing, the subtle metallic color is absolutely gorgeous and the leather detail is funky and interesting on a simply designed tote.  It kind of resembles woven leather but upon closer inspection, it’s slashed in a very punk rock and fun way, not a crazy way that we’ve come to associate with Jimmy Choo bags.  Actually, you would never guess it was from Jimmy Choo until you see the engraved metal hardware.  Two side pockets and three divided interior compartments also make it easy to stay organized while looking impossibly chic.  A great summer travel bag for trips to Portofino or St. Tropez.  At Net-A-Porter for $1,395(Bag Snob would like to correct a statement made in an earlier article about Sandra Choi being the designer behind Jimmy Choo bags.  She is only responsible for the fabulous shoe collection, which you all know we adore.)

With all the hoopla over the Louis Vuitton patchwork mess, Roberto Cavalli must be feeling lonely and neglected.  We’ve refrained from ragging on the leopard and flower prints that usually assault Cavalli designs cuz hey, we’ve given in to an occasional leopard whim ourselves and Kelly certainly has had her share of floral violations in her Ferragamo days but seriously, there is never, EVER, an excuse for carrying a bag described as “Lace Giraffe”.  Don’t let anyone fool you, Giraffe is not the new Leopard.  Just look at this bag, is there anything that remotely resembles a bag that anyone in their right minds would carry?  Not only is it an ugly Giraffe trimmed in lace, it’s apparently a Giraffe with warts.  We know this is the Just Cavalli diffusion line meant for a younger consumer or one with lesser financial means but come on, just cuz one is young or lacking in funds does not mean they have no taste.  $430 at eLuxury
