Style Notes: Jimmy Choo’s Cinch Bag (£1,495) is a new offering from the brand that has proven to be a resounding favourite amongst celebrities. Carried recently by Sienna Miller, who opted for hers in a supple suede composition, the actor’s style-icon status means that any bag she carries is automatically a new-season hero, and Jimmy Choo’s boho-inspired style is certainly no exception.
