Splurge vs Steal: Pointy Patent D'orsay Pumps
Tuesday, June 12, 2012Gucci // Boutique 9
I fell in love with these Gucci pumps when I saw them on Net-a-porter last week, and instantly added them to my wishlist. They're perfect for work - the heel is only 3.5" (as opposed to 4"), and I love the d'orsay cut and the pointy toe, not to mention the shiny patent leather! Then today, while browsing Bloomingdale's sale, I found pretty much the exact same pair, for over $400 less than the Gucci pair!
If you're going to be picky about it, it looks like the main differences are the stitching (the Gucci pair doesn't appear to have any), and the heel - the Gucci heel is all black, whereas the Boutique 9 pair have a beige strip facing the sole of the shoe.
However, those details alone aren't worth $400 to me!
Which would you pick?
(The Boutique 9 pair also come in nude.)

Although I love myself a designer shoe, I would probably stick to the Boutique 9 pair. They are so similar that it's probably not worth the extra bucks! Although, if you could find the Gucci's on sale, well that's a different story.

Oh definitely...I'll be watching those Gucci's closely! :)
DeleteOh my goodness...what a steal! Love them!
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog! The Boutique 9 pair is a great price point! But I have to admit, the all black heel on the Gucci pair is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh I know...if only Gucci shoes were within my budget right now...haha
DeleteOkay ummmm I think I almost even like the steal looks-wise! I'm going to steal for sure nobody in my life would even know the difference.
ReplyDeleteyeah, they're REALLY similar!!
