Women's Footwear

[Aleks]

I saw a lady downtown with absolutely enchanting jade green back zips. Anyone have an inkling of what they could be? I thought they were Augusta's or Guidi's

[rider]

rado, there is a dries van noten store that is worth going to, and the comme store has some really nice shoes (not to mention all else wonderful)
also, i liked le bon marche quite a bit.

alek, they sound luscious. werent some of the boyz talking about green guidis at some point?

[RADO]

Thanks a lot Rider,
Just wondering if besides the designer stores, there is some shoes shop gatherinng good names as Guidi, Augusta and so on for ladies.

Rado try LaGuardia (http://www.laguardia-stgermain.com/presentation.php) or Alain Martinière (http://www.alainmartiniere.com/marque/reserve.html) for NDC shoes.
I know that Le66 on the Champs Elysees has some as well.
I am afraid no shop in Paris carrys Guidi, Augusta or any of these brands (except maybe for l'Eclaireur but that is out of my price range so i don't really know what they have).
Same goes for Marsell.
Hope you enjoy Paris though :D

There's also a Damir Doma showroom/store in Paris if you like his work check it out

[RADO]

Thanks a lot MaxM

You're welcome.
The problem is french people are more into classical, conservative luxury and elegance which explains why there is no (or almost no) market for these brands. It's a shame though

[RADO]

Do you think London or Berlin would have a best offer? I have always considered Paris to be the ladies shoes paradise.

new kids on the block...they go great with rick owens blistered leather skirt even though you cant really see it.

[laika]

so good, the color is killer, even more so in person.

did you see these? i thought of you...and me.

[rider]

pray tell...

Rider, I've wanted those Dries for a long time...almost jealous!

[laika]

pray tell...

Vanessa Bruno... don't tell me i have discovered a pair of shoes of which you were not aware?

genevieve, rider's shoe collection is the envy of the northeast!

so funny ...of course if it came down the most eclectic you would have me there.

her shoes have the same flirtatiousness as her bags. i like how she folds all the edges over to make them nice and neat, tidy even. totokaelo has a nice representation of brands these days...not to mention a "little" shoe sale going on right now. i like the vanessa bruno shoe too, and the tabi margiela boots (thank god they sold out of my size).

laika, are you a tabi girl? any tabi girls here? just curious, i havent delved into that realm just yet, but the dove grey suede ones tempt me.

[galia]

Tabis are incompatible with my weird feet but I love to look at them
Also my impression of VB shoes was that the quality was crap, although admittedly, I have never owned any
