Metallic Jimmy Choo slingbacks (sold out)

If the new metallic Tilly slingbacks from Jimmy Choo’s spring / summer 2014 collection have a hint of familiarity about them, then that is no bad thing. Tilly is a beautiful slingback, in fashionable metallic finishings and with a practical 3.5 inch heel.

(UPDATE: Tilly is also sold out; this post remains live for archive reasons only – links have been removed. In 2014 these heels were available in gold and silver metallics from mytheresa.com for $625.)

All of which reminds me of the India slingbacks from Choo which were hot property a few years back. Also available in metallics, and with the same heel height as Tilly, the India sandals are sadly no longer stocked by Net-A-Porter in the gold and silver colors which we featured in our article about them a little while back.

The good news is that the closed-toed Tilly is a more than adequate replacement. This new slingback from Jimmy Choo’s Spring / Summer 2014 collection displays all the characteristic pride and confidence in simplicity of Choo’s best offerings.
