Jimmy Choo Shoes

We love our Jimmy Choo shoes! His fantastic designs make us drool whenever we see them. Do you know about Jimmy Choo? Jimmy Choo's name is actually Jimmy Chow. The registrar spelled his name incorrectly on his birth certificate, resulting in the now well-known name of Jimmy Choo. He was born in Penang, Malaysia, and studied at Cordwainers' Technical College (now the London College of Fashion). Coming from a family of shoemakers, he created his first shoe at age eleven.

His shoes are famous in popular culture, having featured in TV shows The Sopranos and Sex in the City, as well as the movie The Devil Wears Prada.

Tamara Mellon said: “It doesn’t matter what you are wearing – if you have good shoes and a good bag, you’ll look right”, and I can't agree more darlings!

The brand has developed the unparalleled capacity to present innovative and fresh collections while simultaneously maintaining the classic elegance, beauty and sexiness with which the Jimmy Choo name is synonymous.  Tamara, Sandra and their creative team roam the far corners of the world searching for inspirational artefacts whether it be the beading on an ancient Indian wedding dress or a piece of intrinsically embroidered Belgium lace.
