If there is one summer footwear must have this season, it would definitely be these not- so- cheap but oh so covetable Chanel espadrilles. What is so appealing in these classic slip-ons that make them 400 dollars (canvas) or even 500 (leather) worth? Is it the in-your-face CC logo stitched on front? Or the luxurious Los Angeles feel it gives your feet? I will never know..
But you have to give it to the house for making the brand so iconic.. Making girls pay a humungous, if not out of this world amount just to own a piece of the legacy. If you think about it though, 500 dollars is not so much compared to 6000 for a Chanel 5.5 flap bag and you still can say you own a piece of Chanel. Genius branding and marketing, right?
I remember telling myself how i will never ever pay this ridiculous amount for a pair of fabric slippers but lately found myself imagining how amazing i would look on the beach with a bikini top, denim cutoffs, a cocktail and these beauties. Tempting, tempting..
