Jimmy Choo Riki Crushed Patent Bag

When I was younger, I was afraid to wear red. It was too bold, too attention-getting for a shy, awkward girl. But in my mid-twenties I hit my stride and I couldn’t get enough of bright, beautiful colors. Especially red. It still holds a fair percentage of space in my closet.

And this Jimmy Choo Riki Crushed Patent Bag would fit right in. Look at that beautiful patent leather. Doesn’t it just draw you in? It has just a hint of texture to encourage you to touch it (you know you want to).

It features golden grommets with two leather lace accents. And we love how those laces gather the purse on the side. It has double straps for carrying, and a 9″ shoulder drop for just about a perfect length. To keep your valuables put, it has a flap closure with the signature Choo golden flip lock.

Inside, it has two open pockets (but the description also says one inside zip and one large open pocket - the pictures seem to confirm one big, open pocket) and an inside keyfob snap. I’m always losing my keys in the bottom of my purse, so this is such a great feature. And what an interior - ultrasuede lining. Mmmm, more touching.

The bag is about 13 3/4 inches wide, 9 inches high, and 5 inches deep. You can find it at Saks for $1750.
