Summer on the Riviera:
Jimmy Choo’s new accessories collection, inspired by the Côte d’Azur
A summer season without the sea hardly feels like summer at all, just as the French Riviera without gingham isn’t quite the Riviera. The British brand Jimmy Choo understands this better than anyone, and unveils its new collection — named after the world’s most desirable coastline. It invites us on a stylish journey to the south of France. The Riviera line is not just about shoes and accessories; it’s a ready-made inspirational look for anyone packing a suitcase for a glamorous getaway to Nice, Cannes, or Saint-Tropez.
At the heart of the collection lies the timeless charm of gingham, reimagined in vibrant shades of blue and red, alongside artisanal textures in raffia and straw.
Wedge espadrilles, a wide-brimmed hat with artfully frayed edges, and a basket-style bag — each piece looks as if it were taken straight from the 1960s photo archives of Brigitte Bardot. It was she who elevated gingham (also known as “vichy check”) into an iconic French status, choosing a simple white-and-pink gingham dress for her wedding to actor Jacques Charrier. The moment instantly spread across glossy magazines, forever associated the print with carefree seaside holidays.
In its contemporary interpretation, Jimmy Choo revisits this romantic narrative with a refined sensibility: from delicate sandals with bows and fringe to Bon Bon bags embellished with beads, woven accents and bracelet-style handles, pieces designed for a stroll along La Croisette as for enhancing any summer looks, wherever the season finds you.
