About Jimmy Choo
Jimmy Choo was founded in London in 1996 by a Malaysian shoemaker and a British magazine editor, and became known for high-heeled shoes worn on red carpets. Capri acquired the company in 2017 for about £896 million. The founding shoemaker sold his stake in 2001 and returned to bespoke work, so his name outlived his involvement.
