One word: recession.
For nine-hundred bucks, give me
at least five bows, Marc.

It's like a wrapped up Christmas present for foot fetishists.

Beth said...

they want HOW MUCH?! Gosh, and I thought I was spending too much when I wasted $45 on shoes...

Lisa said...

Holy shit! I bet somewhere right now there's a crafty girl with a glue gun, some bows, and last season's gladiators making a DIY version of this for SO MUCH LESS.

If I'm spending real money, I demand a heel.

Unknown said...

He can't! That would mess up the shoes' fung shui!

Love it! I can't imagine that your brother would be able to write a haiku like that about Marc Jacobs shoes!

Oooh, that winning combination of expensive AND ugly.

Katy said...

Drat! When I saw the post title I thought the sandals would be cheap because I sorta like them, but $900!! Geez, who does Marc think he is?!?

i think that you'd probably spend thirty dollars total recreatiing this shoe...

1 pair of cheap gladiators - 20 dollars
glue gun - 3 dollars
ribbon - 3 dollars
pack of studs for - about 2 dollars
time - 1 dollar

For that money, I demand that 4 hot guys carry me around in a chaise, so I won't get my gaudy Christmas shoes dirty.

Whit said...

$900?! That's like my rent. You can't live in a shoe!

Sales Rack Raider said...

Wow...for a price tag like that, I was expecting more than a piece of leather with a few puny stripes attached. I wouldn't even call it a shoe. Are the bows made from the skin of some rare endangered Magic Golden Python? Otherwise, I can't imagine what would make a hunk of leather command so lofty a price.

I want 1000 bows....because each bow is worth like 1p.... and for $900, a profit could still be had by Mr Jacobs....
