Remember the Christian Louboutin ‘Bianca’ platforms I featured as a Friday Fix a few weeks ago? I had a feeling that if I waited long enough, Steve Madden would come along with a cheaper alternative, and here they are: his Caryssa platforms are available in four different colours, including the grey flannel shown above, which is my favourite. (The nude patent version is in second place, naturally.)
I don’t think it would be fair to accuse Madden of copying this time, because Louboutin was hardly the first designer to come up with the idea of a grey flannel platform (although I’d still argue he’s the one who’s done it best), so I’ll let him off the hook just this once, and simply let you know that these are down to just $89 at Piperlime: click here to buy them.
Oddly enough, I have no reason to own flannel shoes.
I have these in the black suede…and the charcoal glitter pair have been eyeing me suspiciously everytime i walk by.
