Oooh baby. I adore these black and white Chanel caged booties. They were part of the resort 2009 collection, but are no longer available online. Most Chanel shoes retail for above $800, so we can assume that these babies are pretty much out of our price range. Thankfully, like most good Chanel shoes, they've been knocked off. Many a pretentious fashionista would "tut tut" at this, but I think it's the only way the industry can function. Not everyone can afford to buy designer, at least not right away.
Jeffrey Campbell, who's a shoe maven more than capable of his own designs, priced his take on the Chanel bootie at around $200. They're now on sale for $149. This is still a bit pricey. Go Jane, ever the cheap retailer, has done a version that incorporates both Campbell's look and the original Chanel. Their version retails for $40. Now THAT's a price I can swallow! Their look doesn't have the thick heel of the Jeffrey Campbell's, and it's even skinnier than the original Chanel, which means these shoes might be quite treacherous to walk in.
But hey, beauty is pain, right?
Snag your pair here.
