Gucci // 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.)
