Jimmy Choo Cecile Elaphe bag

This is Jimmy Choo’s Cecile evening clutch bag, trumpeted by the company as “a vintage elaphe snake finish”.  This is being sold as a retro evening clutch bag with the option of attaching the strap for a shoulder bag.

What do I like about the Jimmy Choo Cecile in Elaphe snakeskin? Firstly, the animal print is fun, it is a good compact size and I particularly like the gold finish metal plate across the top with a the name Jimmy Choo stamped boldly in fairly large letters.   I like the look of the snakeskin across the top of the bag, too – although personally I dislike the feel of snake leather. I am also not sure whether it is all certified as being obtained without cruelty.

I do not like the excessive hardware – with three light coloured frames round the edges and a central slot, the front of the Cecile Elaphe clutch looks just like a slot for hard drives to go into. Look at the second photo to see how far the slot juts out from the bag: not very comfortable to hold as a clutch bag, I think.  However if this rocks your boat the recommended price is currently £974 but I think it will be among the first to be reduced as the season progresses. Dimensions: L16 x H10 x W6cm = L6 x H4 x W4″
