With all the hype about The Sex and the City movie and the shoes that will be worn, we thought it relevant to offer a little "help" for those looking to cut corners on their next shoe purchase.
5 Steps In Spotting Fake Manolo's
- Manolo Blahnik shoes do not have embossed serial numbers.
- Authentic Manolo Blahnik dust bags are white with black lettering. The box is also white with black
- Manolo Blahnik shoes always have a leather sole.
- If purchasing online (such as on eBay), You should try to compare pictures of the item up for auction to the pictures of what you know to be an authentic item- magazine articles, company website. Major retailer's sites might be good source.
- Authentic Manolo Blahnik has only two types of labels. The first one is the traditional one and is found in most of the styles. The other one is from “My favorites” collection and is actually Mr. Blahnik’s signature. (A very rare find these days)
We at Shoeflair always use the "gut" approach. That is..if it is too good to be true, then it probably is. Our gut instinct has never been wrong. Learn to trust yours.
