These shoes aren't for everyone, but gosh they're pretty. The post Coffee Break: Campari Mesh Ballet Flats appeared first on Corporette.com.
Manolo Blahnik has had a Mary Jane heel for years and years: the Campari. I was surprised to see that they've begun making Mary Jane flats with the same name… and goodness, are these shoes not beautiful?
You can debate many parts of this, I suppose, a big one being whether mesh shoes are appropriate for the office. I suppose it's related to our last discussion on whether toe cleavage is appropriate at the office. For either one: know your office!
I also take issue with the way the companies are describing the shoes: NET-A-PORTER calls them mesh ballet flats (but they're Mary Janes!) and Manolo Blahnik curiously calls them “Mary Jane flat pumps.” (Okaaaaay.)
The shoes are $825, and are also available in black mesh. For $895 you can also find them in patent leather black and beige… and the there's also a version of the 70mm (2.7″) heel in red mesh. Bergdorf's also has versions of the flat and heel with a slingback heel. Love. They seem to be down to lucky sizes, though — if you call your local Manolo store they may be able to track them down for you in your size.
Looking for something similar? These patent leather red Mary Jane flats at J.Crew are pretty close (final sale), and Franco Sarto has a version of their popular Mary Jane flat in a bright red patent. I don't know this brand, but I like the double straps on these C.Paravano flats at Amazon.
