Sailor Moon x Jimmy Choo: New Anime-Themed Designer Handbags, Shoes, Wallets & More Now In Singapore
Character-themed fashion collabs are everywhere these days, which is great news for those who love incorporating some fun into their daily wear. But what really gets our goat is when such collections are shoddily churned out for the sake of it. While there are of course many brands who do it right, there are also a number who think that they can easily ride on the hype by throwing in some character motifs, slapping on a logo, and calling it a day - much to the dismay of true fans of such franchises.
That’s thankfully not the case with the new Jimmy Choo Sailor Moon collection. The luxury brand’s latest co-branded venture is one that’ll do all 90’s anime fans proud. Staying true to the essence of the Japanese shoujo series, this collection includes a wide range of manga-inspired handbags, shoes that closely resemble that of the Sailor Scouts’, and a ton of accessories to match.

Add colour to your life with the rainbow-coloured Sailor Guardians Varenne Tote, which pays homage to the very beginnings of the manga and anime with prints featuring the 5 original Sailor Guardians: Sailor Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. The front and back bear different comic strip designs, and they’ll be fun for you to read if you know basic Japanese.

For something less colourful, go for the Jimmy Choo Sailor Moon & Tuxedo Mask Varenne Tote, which shows the two lovers sharing a kiss on the front, and smaller comic panels on the back.

Ladies who like to carry light can check out the various Sailor Moon Varenne Quad XS bags, all of which come with a chic Swarovski crystal and pearl strap. The best part? There’s one corresponding to each original Sailor senshi in colours that represent them, so you can pick the one whom you identify with the most. These have similar manga-style patterns as the larger totes, with each one featuring a different set of comic strips.

Cat-lovers won’t be able to resist the Pearl Luna Minaudiere Clutch, a quirky plexi carrier that can also be slung on the shoulder via a detachable pearl strap. If “more is more” is your mantra, then go all out with the Crystal Luna Minaudiere Clutch - essentially the same thing, just entirely studded with bling.

Shoes are also a huge highlight of this collection, and they’re so true to the characters that they could very well serve as cosplay gear. Dress up to kick butt with the Sailor Moon Crystal Boot 10, an exquisite pair of custom-made thigh highs that will be personalised with embroidery of your name and exclusive edition number.

There are shoes inspired by the other characters as well, from Sailor Mars’ sexy red stilettos to Sailor Jupiter’s green ankle boots and Sailor Mercury’s blue ones.

Understandably, not many will find these shoes easily wearable, but there are three Luna-inspired designs if you’re after more practical options. We’re partial towards the Jimmy Choo Luna Boot 100, which has a comfortable 4.7” heel (including 2.2’ platform), a magical iridescent finish, and cute Luna charms as a finishing touch. The other two items are are 5.5” platform pumps and thigh high stiletto boots.

Alternatively, don these Sailor Moon Collage Diamond Light Maxi comic-style sneakers. This is available in B&W, but the Rainbow one is especially eye-catching with its flurry of pastel colours - not just across the body of the shoe but also on the laces and soles.

To wear your love for the magical girl anime in a more subtle way, snag yourself the Jimmy Choo Luna Card Holder or Moon Stick Keyring, the latter of which is adorned with gems.
