In celebration of its first Canadian flagship, luxury footwear label Jimmy Choo has launched its subway-themed TTC clutch. The statement accessory is showcased in a black, patent design that boasts a print of Toronto's iconic TTC subway map.
The London-based luxury label is known for its striking accessories and this custom, Canadian carryall is no exception. This special edition TTC clutch is modeled after the label's signature Candy Clutch design.
"Instead of its traditional, acrylic sunset graphic, the handbag is decorated with a near-replica of the Toronto subway map that features fashionable versions of station names." Examples include "Eagle, Candy and Youth" as stations on the Bloor Line that replace familiar names like Christie, Dufferin and Royal York. The pricey clutch will be available for a limited time and will set one back $1095.
