and if so, what does the label say? Like, Jimmy Choos say Jimmy Choo London - does MB put a city on his label?

I can ask my SIL tomorrow for you. Her sister buys them fopr her from the States.

Do you suspect you have fakes?

no, I don't have any at all, fake or otherwise! - just idle chit chat! I always associate MB with NY (cos of SATC I guess) but he is Spanish - so just wondered.

oh there you go. Thankes Ewe. The man in clearly too international to be limited to one city lol

reminds me of a cd player dh & I went to buy years ago in gran canaria...
Wanted the one in the window but once inside the shop out came the SONI one... Tried to convince us that this was the spansih spelling . Yeah right..!

Got prada, dior,Jimmy choo & Gina shoes...but no MB...

they need to be next on your list I think!

let's see if you get slammed for owning nice shoes. MNers are not very nice to people who own high-end stuff, it seems!

I say - Go girl!!

Shhh which are th emost comfy/easiest to walk in. I am a shoe whore right now.

spicemonster · 09/09/2008 21:04

I own three pairs

And no, they don't have the city on the label but I'm pretty sure they're genuine because I bought them in the MB shop

Okay, confession time from me: have one pair of Louboutins and 2 pairs of Jimmy Choos.

well, Meggles, what have you been buying? fess up!

Why did you want to know if MB puts a city on the label though?

(lucky you - I really want a pair of louboutins)

LetThemEatCake · 09/09/2008 21:20

honestly just idle curiousity. Louboutin says Paris, Choo says London. Just wondered where MB placed his allegiance, if at all, given that he is very New York but originally from Spain.

Megglevache · 09/09/2008 21:26

No No No! I don't have the budget for such lovelies.

I bought myself some poor womens Vivienne Westwood shoes today (pics on profile)

But I love shoes. Love them!

shhhh · 09/09/2008 21:39

tbh, its not me who lusts after designer shoes..yeah I do lurrvve them but would make do with a cheaper pair iykwim..can get more ! BUT its dh who is the one who suggests them..Guess im lucky to have such a kind dh .

IMO the most comfy ones are my gina flip flops...maybe because they are flat..I have a pair of prada wedge shoes which come a very close 2nd...very high and very me..Im not usually a stiletto gal so snapped up the prada wedges .

Hmm...imo, if you can afford something and will get use out of them then go for it. My parents & pil think dh & I are mad spending so much on shoes (dh is also a shoe whore.. prob worse than me..) but thats just us...BUT don't get me wrong,I am just (if not more so) likely to buy a pair of £1 flip flops from Asda .

Must admit I would love a pair of louboutins.... have asked dh for a pair when I have lost some weight..my goal .

shhhh · 09/09/2008 21:42

mv, those are lovely . tbh I would wear something like that, a nice size heel iykiwm...

they're lovely Meggles!

and you have great legs and a gorgeous son!

have to say - my dh is a bit of a shoe weirdo ... quite happy for me to have expensive, high shoes since he finds them quite, errr, sexy.

I think most men are like that letthemeatcake . So I guess maybe we take advantage of them .

Megglevache · 09/09/2008 21:50

No I don't that's the beauty. I have stubby odd legs and these shoes make them look quite long ish.
