When I discovered the Jimmy Choo Whipstitched Fur Crossbody on Neiman Marcus as sale page (naturally) last night, my brain flooded with innumerable questions. Why had I never seen this bag before? Surely it had been around for some time if it a's now on the sale page? I trawl Neiman Marcus for things to write about every day, how did I miss it? Did it go directly to the sale page, do not pass go, do not collect $200? Might this be the most heinously terrible crime against humanity that I a've ever seen from a major handbag brand, or is it hilarious to be bad?
And then there a's the strap! It looks like the kind of thick, fancy rope that you a'd find at an upholstery shop frequented by the Actual Housewives of New Jersey. No, actually, this is what it reminds me of (in case you don a't know where this is headed, skip to around three:30):
I am not even definite I do know where to start. The bag apparently comes with its own (attached!) bed of raccoon tails so that no matter where you place it, it as definite to act as an expensive Swiffer and attract all the loose dust in a twelve-inch radius. Not to mention that while you are jogging, that giant wad of fur is going to be dangling from your hip the whole time.
If the whipstitched reptile-and-leather bag had been on a traditional strap, it would have been a incredibly passable crossbody option, but with half a dozen tassles and yards of rope and pounds of fur, it as hard to keep in mind that there as even a bag there. I could imagine this bag looking the part in a Russian-themed Vogue news story, but beyond that, I hope that no designs to actual purchase or carryover it. Buy through Neiman Marcus for $1336 (was $1995).
