Jimmy Choo's Riviera 2026 Capsule Brings Paradise Cove to Malibu

The bow detail on Jimmy Choo's Riviera 2026 / Paradise Cove capsule started as a scarf tied around the handle of a handbag. Creative Director Sandra Choi's London studio translated it into a recurring element running across footwear and bags alike, which is a precise way to describe how a summer wardrobe actually holds together: one detail, repeated with intention, connecting pieces across occasions.

The campaign was shot at Paradise Cove in Malibu, each piece crafted in Italy. The edit is positioned as resort-to-city rather than strictly vacation, meaning the silhouettes are designed to slot into an existing wardrobe and keep working once you're back on pavement.

The LISS sandal is the entry point and the workhorse. Set on a 35mm micro heel, low enough to navigate stone terraces and cobblestone restaurant streets while reading as dressed, it carries the bow detail directly on the strap. Over a linen set, it handles a vacation dinner without negotiation. With a slip dress, it carries a rooftop evening. The 35mm measurement is specific for a reason: it is exactly the height that makes a sandal practical without making it flat.

The Livi Wedge 85 takes over when you need height that can cover ground. Wedges distribute weight more evenly than a stiletto, which matters when a destination wedding involves grass, gravel, or a dance floor that extends past midnight. The bow detail runs through the Livi too, connecting it to the Liss as part of a deliberate system. Tailored shorts and the Livi in the afternoon; switch to a slip dress after the ceremony and the shoe handles the full event without a change.

The BAY flat, updated with hand-finished canvas edges, covers city weekends and the long stretches between structured occasions. It works with tailored shorts for market mornings and gallery afternoons, and it pairs with the Callie Maxi bag for an evening look that does not announce itself as one. The hand finishing is not decorative language. The work of the hand is visible throughout the collection, in the weaving of the raffia, the finishing of the canvas, the balance of a heel, details that are key to how something is worn and how long it lasts.

The bags complete the calendar. The Beach Tote East West Mini is expertly woven and moves easily from beach to town. The Callie Maxi expands one of Jimmy Choo's signature evening silhouettes into something designed to carry through the day as well, a piece of bag construction that delivers on the day-to-night promise rather than just claiming it. The Bon Bon and Cinch bags are reworked in gingham and raffia, anchoring both in the Riviera reference: gingham as a pattern long associated with mid-century leisure dressing, updated rather than reproduced.

Jimmy Choo is running a private shopping experience at The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach through April 2, open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Three footwear silhouettes, a tightly edited bag lineup, and the kind of craft detail that earns its place past the trip it was packed for. The Riviera, filtered through California light, built to travel home.
