East End of London, recognized for his excellent craftsmanship. In

Angeles in 1999, sparking immediate success among young Hollywood.

DESIGNER BRITAIN REVIEW
Jimmy Choo's new collection of bags is sharp and stream-lined,
but with the required amount of edge. The fusion of glamour and
function for which these bags have become renowned is inherent in Jimmy
Choo's reworking of 80's punk designs. The collection's colours, and
the mix of suede and shiny calf leather captures the brand's
characteristic exuberance. Jimmy Choo handbags are considered to be the
most desirable bags in most global hotspots, including Hollywood where
actresses such as Charlize Theron, Cameron Diaz and Eva Mendez are
confirmed admirers.
