Yahoo Lifestyle Jimmy Choo Embellishes Its Bon Bon Bags With Thousands of Swarovski Crystals
LONDON — Jimmy Choo’s creative director Sandra Choi is adding a touch of sparkle to the brand’s Bon Bon handbags for a limited-edition capsule collection.
The bags, which take the form of a mini-bucket bag and perfect for storing sweet treats, hence their name, have been reimagined in five styles with Swarovski crystals.

Two of the bags feature a crystal grid and satin base in gold and silver, which was made using approximately 3,400 crystals in total, while two other bags have been inspired by flowers using 5,050 crystals in total and made by two master artisans who spent five days on the bag.
“We wanted to create more than just a handbag; this is a collector’s piece, a treasure to be admired and cherished. By offering it as a limited edition, we celebrate its rarity and exclusivity — each one is a wearable jewel, an investment in beauty,” Choi said in an interview.
The collection comes as a continuation of Jimmy Choo’s acceleration for artisanal craft.
In February 2024, the brand collaborated with the Parisian embroidery house Les Ateliers Vermont, famed for working with more than half of the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton brands.
“Crystals have a transformative power — it’s all about how they are cut, their shape, and the way they reflect and refract light. At the heart of Jimmy Choo is this idea of multifaceted glamour, and the Bon Bon embodies it perfectly,” Choi said.
Jimmy Choo introduced handbags in 2004 and has since been pushing the category alongside its footwear by featuring them more predominantly in their campaigns.
