    Fashion that Makes Us Sad: $165 Jimmy Choo Coffee Cup Sleeve

    By Joanna Douglas, Senior Fashion and Beauty Editor | Fashion – Tue, Dec 13, 2011 3:40 PM EST

    Jimmy Choo launched leather coffee cup holdersJimmy Choo launched leather coffee cup holdersLadies who get their hot beverages on the go are probably familiar with coffee cup sleeves-those nifty devices that prevent scalding drinks from hurting your hands. Everyone from Starbucks to your local coffee shop offers them up to patrons for free, but Jimmy Choo would never be seen with something so pedestrian. That's why he created Rika, "a luxurious mock croc leather cup holder."

    Available in fuchsia or orange, this reusable leather sleeve costs $165 and there's a buying cap of five per shade. So Jimmy Choo thinks someone out there wants to buy more than 10 of these? If you skipped your $3.50 cup of coffee for 47 straight days you'd finally have enough money to afford one! But even if you were willing to shell out for this crocodile-printed leather scrap, would you be able to handle all the eye rolls you'd get while putting it on your skim latte? Didn't think so.

      I have seen them at Dollar Tree for guess what...One Whole Dollar! Wow! I also saw one in the dollar section at Target on sale for .50 cents. It also wasn't going to send a distress signal to space with the color.

      well this is good bc now you can save on the waste of using those throw away holders... more environmental... whatever, buy a cheaper one, but not so expensive at all...

      While I think it's stupid, I really don't see why this is on the list considering the price of Jimmy Choo shoes in the first place. If you can spend that much on shoes, this is actually a bargain....

      People stupid enough to buy coffee at Starbucks are easily stupid enough to buy this piece of garbage. When you throw away $35/week on bad, over-roasted coffee, what's another $165 on a coffee accessory if it's disguised as "reusable and good for the environment"?

      Can't you buy a decent leather *jacket* for $165????

      Maybe Jimmy Choo doesn't have price tags that will fit only two digits...

      "mock crock" I'm assuming that means it's not actual crocodile.

        if you didnt notice it the word "mock" is in front of the word croc.....meaning fake, imitated...not real.
