The Manolo Blahink final reduction sale started today and there was no way that a little bit of sleet would keep us away. How often can you score the finest of heels at just a hint above sample sale prices– and about without the fray?
As per usual, the prices are marked by colored dots that start at $195. The difference, this year, is the the prices rocket to $600, which is almost twice as much as previous years. We were also really disappointed that so few shoes had red dots ($195). This category included only the most plain and basic style pumps. Most shoes had green dots ($255), which is only $60 more but it seems to be a mental hurdle. There were a variety of these suede cap-toe shoes for $225. Here are pictures of almost everything at the sale.
Tall boots are all priced at the tippy top $600 level and lower boots are $375. Then there are the more ornate shoes, like the Hangisi and over the top satin Borlaks, which are both priced at $325. Low boots with gems are $375. The iconic Manolo Mary Jane is available in red and nude for $255. Pony hair shoes are $325 and the iconic gator shoes are priced as marked, which is about 50% off. (More pics here.)
The available sizes vary across styles but there was more than enough for everyone. Even the woman who had piles of 10 or more shoes at their feet.
There was no line at 1pm and no reports of lines throughout the day. Just be sure not to show up at 2pm, when the store closes to restock. Lets agree to understand that restocking means reorganizing the merchandise. The boutique sale does not usually receive new inventory throughout the sale.
