Designer Sandals: Do We Need Them
There is nothing more comfortable and convenient in a hot summer day, than a pair of sandals. This cheap and fashionable footwear can be found in every woman’s wardrobe. We got really interested: which models and at which prices famous fashion houses can offer us this summer?
This pair by Dolce&Gabbana looks really cute and stylish. Two pieces of polished leather and a nice price - of $550?! Oh, yeah. The cost price of this pair varies between 12 and 15 bucks, and even if the price will be mulyiplied ten times because of the famous brand, it is still $150, but not $550…
Or let us take these wonderful sandals by Christian Dior. Two thin leather belts and a sole - and that’s it. So, where does the surprising price of $490 comes from? Taking into consideration, that th cost price here is even lower, than in the first case - $10. Let’s multiply it ten times to make up for the popular brand - and we get $100. What is more, who on Earth will ever look at your sole just to fing the huge Dior logo there?
Today one can find an elite brand Melissa in many shoe shops. Do you know anything about them? we still do not. Nevertheless, this is a fine example of making money from air, or, to be precise, from plastic. This is what these sandals are made of. Absolutely no leather - only plastic and fumed sole. Do you think this makes them even a dime cheaper? Here you are - you’re asked to pay $150 for the sandals, in which a $2-worth amount of plastic is used.
Please, do not misunderstand us. we do love beautiful footwear, and we do understand the desire to purchase really unique and luxurious models. But one should distinguis between bargains and senseless purchases - by the way, there is always a way to find something of good quality and apt price. for example, Steve Madden offers natural leather sandals, and only for $50 a pair.
