The latest Jimmy Choo Bag that I saw and liked was the recently launched Ruben. It has a classic, slightly squishy silhouette and strong plaited leather straps which are attached to the bag with bold U shaped clips. There is a wide zipped opening, concealed behind the high sides of the bag, and inside is a zipped pocket. The Ruben by Jimmy Choo is available in black and, I am pleased to say, a true shade of red – not orange, not pink, but a real in-your-face red!

At last someone at Jimmy Choo must have heard me moaning that they had not made a nice red Jimmy Choo handbag since the Maddy, so here it is for 2009. On the red version of the Ruben the clasps are in a more subdued silvery metal which is nice and classy against a strong colour.
Dimensions: L34 x H36 x W18cm = L13 x H14 x W14″
AS oversized bags go, the Ruben is farily modest – Jimmy Choo do not design many seriously large bags, I’m happy to say. There is no way you can fill a really large bag without being seriously weighed down on the shoulder, then carrying your handbag becomes more of a workout. This could be useful for anyone seeking weight loss products, I suppose.
