I want those black pumps! I'll sprain something with those, but they're so beautiful!

 

[Ihaveadog]

The black pumps are also coming in a crystal-heeled version too (can imagine the price !!). Also, Brownsfashion has their preview up - as usual their selection is blah:

[iLoveCouture]

Dulci - I love those pink booties; they are adorable! I have to agree with you that I am not too impressed with the fall collection. I will always love the classic shoes CL makes though.

14 cm!

he's gone crazy on us

NOW were talking. Finally some CLs with a decent heel height. Too bad the arch curve is nonexistant. I would def. wear those black pumps.

 

[Velony]

I thought you'd love them. They are so you

 

[pucci_mama]

Will CL re-make any shoe [even seasonal] if I place a special order for them?

There is a pair that I would love to get my hands on..

 

[iLoveCouture]

Yes pucci - there is a 30% mark up though. What pair do you want?

Yes but it takes FOORRREVVERR. I'm still waiting for mine to go into production and I submitted my form a couple months ago! (not to mention the actual creation time)

 

[JetSetGo!]

I saw the Red Glittart Decolletes today at BG. They are beautiful!

 

[Dulcisima]

Pucci Mama, not all styles are on special order. I recently requested a style that was avaliable on the summer collection to be on special order and they said they cannot because mould is no longer avaliable, classic styles are always avaliable on special order but seasonal ones not always. And not to mention it takes AGES! I had one done and it took them 8 months with extra drama.

 

[fashionispoison]

hello ladies! ah so much to catch up on here at TFS. i feel like i haven't been on forever!

 

[madem0iselle]

duclisima- I hope to get one custom made too, i dont know wheter it is a seasonal or classic, the satin and lace very prives..i hope they can make that.
Where do you proceed the order? Do you call in and give them your credit card #? Do they charge before they make or only after they're done making it?
this sounds like such a hassle!

 

[pucci_mama]

8 months???? That is just crazy...
But I really want these shoes, they are pretty classic for me so I am sure I'll love them just as much in 8 months time..

They are the flat studded 'Ariella' ballerinas ...I want them in black with silver studs.<3

They really are my dream shoes.. but hearing about all the trouble/waiting is really making me think if they are worth it or not.

Mademoiselle , its you and your luck! It also depends if the material is available or not, they discontinue most of their seasonal material shoes and their moulds because they want to sell their current collection, special orders are mainly focused on classic ones or a current season one, its you and your luck honestly!
You can ask your nearest CL boutique, you would need to fill in a form which they would fax you with, they take your credit card details and they would charge you 30% extra plus shipping cost or any relative taxes ( they will charge you when they are certain that the mould and material is available). They usually tell you it would take 6-8 weeks ( depends if the factory is operating)but in reality it takes more than that, like I said mine took me 8 months and there was a point in which they called me and said the material might not be available so we would need to cancel your order! It was nerve wrecking! And especially that their operations are expanding , so I am pretty much assuming that it would take long, one of my SA even said to me frankly I am better off picking a shoe directly than placing a special order because their operations is getting wider and the retail demand is higher.

 

[Misako]

^ I would second this. If you have the patience, do it, because you can get a really awesome shoe that's very unique. But it does take a while, and I wouldn't be surprised if mine doesn't go into production for some time as they're made one by one and when yours gets made depends on where in the queue your order arrived from ALL the boutiques. They only make them in Paris, IIRC.
Be aware that of course, certain materials will cost more (eg, if you want python, they will charge you for that material vs. the price if you just wanted kid leather).
They'll charge you when it goes into production (so keep some money handy because you don't know when that'll be).

 

[madem0iselle]

thanks dulcisima!
that sounds scary and risky! lols
well there IS a very prive lace but it is in size 37 and I am a size 36 in 100m pigalle and other ladies from TPF told me if I am a size 36 100mmpigalle i should be size 36 for very prive. i don't want to risk the sizing as i bought a 36.5 pigalle and it was too loose on me.

this is such a dilemma. to take ebay's and a suize bigger or to wait 8 montsh and not even get the special order through if im unlcuky...

 

[Ciao Bella]
