Джимми Чу родился 15 ноября 1961 года в Пенанге, Малайзия. Оба родителя были выходцами из Китая и носили фамилию Чоу. Однако в свидетельстве о рождении ребенка по ошибке записали под именем Чу. Родители Джимми владели небольшой обувной мастерской. По признанию самого дизайнера любовь к туфлям и талант он унаследовал именно от них. В возрасте 11 лет Джимми Чу изготовил свою первую пару обуви. В 1990-х гг. к Джимми Чу обратилась Тамара Меллон, дочь британского бизнесмена, совладельца империи Vidal Sassoon, экс-сотрудница Vogue UK, с предложением создать совместный люксовый обувной бренд. В 1996 Джимми Чу и Тамара Меллон зарегистрировали бренд Jimmy Choo. Основным инвестором выступил отец Тамары. В этом же году под маркой была выпущена первая коллекция женской обуви и открыт монобрендовый бутик в Лондоне.
