You know I have a problem with copies (especially bad ones), but this copy is so well done… and I have wanted this shoe so badly, I am dangerously tempted to try to score it when it goes on sale. We shall see how weak I become.
Here we have the original L.A.M.B. Camden peeptoe ankle bootie in a mustard hue. I would prefer the black but you can see the details so much better here. This shoe is crafted from leather and has the scale/petal details all over with the quaint stitching at the top and the signature sole. This shoe retails for around $400.
Now here is the Bakers Ruffles version, synthetic with no scaling detail at the heel, the identical tack stitching halfway across the top and a plain sole. One problem with the raw edges of most cut sythetics is that they fray so, each one of those scales will have fuzzy edges after a while. (You can even see the beginnings of it on this new shoe!) The absence of the heel detail may be a benefit, if you pair these with skinnies and they creep down a bit and rub. I love this grey version. This shoe retails for $75.
Can anyone tell me about the factory process that resulted in this copy? How do these even get contracted out? How does a respected brand like Bakers get away with this?
