Statement bags for those wanting something astounding and a little off-kilter. It’s hard to sum up Jamin Puech’s exact style because there are so many different versions and aspects; crazy-eclectic with such abandon that there’s bound to be something to suit everyone. The materials used are also a mixed bag: woven cotton, leather, straw, fur — it’s all fair game. What stands out for me are the handbags festooned with layers of enormous sequins — square in some cases, those that mimic feathers in others, which are then adorned with large button-like baubles in an uncalculated fashion. This is also a good place to find a truly unique evening handbag that’s on par with a work of art. But the nice thing is that even these don’t feel so «special occasion only» that you’d let them waste away in the closet for that rare memorable eve out — you wouldn’t feel a smidge guilty wearing it on a more casual date. People tend to be pretty skeptical of this brand since it lacks high-profile name-brand recognition — but I’m a fan. The thing is that each bag has such an individual personality, I know that whatever I might have purchased from them 3 years ago, I’d still be wearing out despite the fact that styles and trends have changed. Jamin Puech bags possess a classic quality and are lent a timelessness stemming from their sheer uniqueness. The staff is charming and helpful… and there’s a major sale on right now… so if you haven’t checked them out, this would be a good time to have a look.
