Jimmy Choo Kevan Woven Leather and Suede Sandals: A Plucky Move

Whoa there! Jimmy Choo has gone shamelessly earth-goddess with these wild woven sandals. I’m not sure if they are Pocahontas-meets-young Stevie Nicks or if this be-feathered concoction should rightfully be put on the endangered species list. With a blend of woven suede, leather, and elaphe, they take the tribal theme to the next level (the … Continue reading “Jimmy Choo Kevan Woven Leather and Suede Sandals: A Plucky Move”
