Jimmy Choo ‘Project PEP’ Glazed Canvas Tote
Jimmy Choo is known as the designer brand that makes women drool over beautiful shoes. Everytime I see a Jimmy Choo shoe my heart skips a beat. The shoes are gorgeous, but every now and then the designer brand has some beautiful looking handbags.
When I came across the, Jimmy Choo “Pep” Glazed Canvas Tote I was surprised! When I think of Jimmy Choo, I think of a designer brand that is classy and sophisticated looking. To see that the “Pep” Glazed Tote was made by Jimmy Choo was appalling and shocking at the same time.
I do not like anything about this bag. To me, this bag looks like an absolute mess. You got flags, jewels, lips, and even shoes featured on the bag. If you examine the bag, it really does look like magazine cut outs. The bag is all over the place, and I don’t understand the theme of it at all.
I’m not sure who would actually carry this tote around. I suppose those who love edgy fashion might have an appreciation for this handbag. All I know is that, my wardrobe is edgy for the most part and I despise this bag. I could never see myself using this bag, but of course that is just my opinion. If you happen to love this bag, then rock it out because I know I never could.
The Jimmy Choo “Pep” Glazed Canvas Tote can be purchased at Nordstrom for $995, which I think is ridiculous for this bag. The bag is not cute at all, and the price is way too high. I would think this bag would cost $400 at the most, but when you’re dealing with Jimmy Choo you can never expect a low price. Sorry Jimmy Choo, but this bag get an F in my book.

This is a tragic mess.
This is really wild, too wild for my taste.
I have to get this tote. Does it come in any other styles?
Why is this called project pep? It was a project?
I wouldn’t spend that much on this, but I do think it’s interesting.
I love this tote. I think it’s really unique and fun.
I say this bag in person and I have to admit, it’s not really
that pretty. They can make any photo / bag look good with
the right photographer. lol.
The pep project is a fabulous bag!
Created by Jimmy Choo to help Simelela Rape Centre in South Africa.
25% of each purchase of this bag, as well as the other items from this
line, will go to Project PEP!
It is quite an interesting bag, I wouldn’t be so rude to call it
ugly, but it is a special bag for someone. Just not me.
I like how Saks is donating 25% to a charity!
This is a charity bag!!!!
PROJECT PEP (via jimmychoo.com)
The Jimmy Choo Cruise 2010 advertising campaign, shot by photographer Terry Richardson with model Angela Lindvall, features the limited edition signature heels and tote bag from the Jimmy Choo charity initiative, Project PEP for the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
Jimmy Choo has collaborated with Fashionair, the on-line multi media fashion platform, in a special preview of the ‘behind-the-scenes’ filming of the advertising campaign shoot.
Featuring footage from the campaign shoot, the piece has been narrated by Tamara Mellon, Founder and President of Jimmy Choo and provides an insider snapshot into this exclusive project, as well as still product shots of the Jimmy Choo Project PEP collection and footage from the Elton John AIDS Foundation featuring Sir Elton John and David Furnish’s 2008 visit to the Simelela Centre in South Africa.
Can anyone help identify the shoes that model is wearing?
I actually love this bag. Alot of Jimmy Choo shoes are so old and ladyish, and style wise overtly outdated. The fact that a portion of the proceeds are going towards charity, makes it even more attractive.
gracie, the shoes are part of the campaign too.. there are around 7 items, this canvas tote, a smaller purse, a wallet, a scarf, and two different style of shoes, one stilleto and one wedge. the stilleto is the one the model is wearing. I just saw all in hong kong, the wedges are the best item
how much is this bag?
anyone know??
:) xx
$995 at Nordstrom….I wish I could get this.
i have to have this bag!!!!!!!! i absolutly LOVE it
