I bought some beautiful Havanias from Poste Mistress years ago - I wore them to watch Prince play at the O2 - that's how long ago it was.
They were about £60, and they were brown with little turquoise beads stitched to them. I bought them because my feet were killing me in the shoes I was wearing, and I was so desperate I didn't even look at the price. I nearly fainted when I got to the till.
But they were worth it. They seemed to go with everything, and never got scruffy.
Then one day my dog ate them. I've never gotten over it. And I've never been able to find a similar pair. Does anyone know whether Havianas still make the fancy-pants version?
