Jimmy Choo Lockett Mini handbag
The product: Jimmy Choo Lockett Mini
Why we love it: What’s better than a Jimmy Choo handbag ? A Jimmy Choo handbag that’s so limited — it’s only available in Vancouver.
In order to celebrate the opening of the luxury footwear brand’s first stand-alone boutique in Vancouver, the company has released a version of the popular Lockett handbag design that’s exclusive to the city.
Featuring woven nappa and metallic leathers, the artisan handbag makes a bold sartorial statement. Thanks to the petite, portable size, the Lockett bag can easily be dressed up or down, transition from day to night — and can be worn cross-body or as a shoulder bag. And, design details aside, the exclusivity makes this designer handbag all the more covetable, of course.
Those in search of a dose of retail opulence should check out the brand’s new 1,564-squarefoot shopping space located at 1035 Alberni St. The store’s decor, which is meant to “reflect Vancouver’s distinctive cultural and artistic character,” features Italian marble finishes and custom-designed furniture pieces including brass-bedecked chairs crafted from soft suede and mohair, as well as handmade rugs underfoot.
Perfect for trying on — and buying — luxury footwear.
In addition to the limitededition Jimmy Choo Lockett Mini, and a plethora of Jimmy Choo shoe styles, the boutique is also home to the brand’s MadetoOrder service, which allows shoppers to create their very own bespoke accessories.
