Steve Madden makes yellow, nude and black patent (not sure if it's similar to the style you mention) but looks sort of like CL (red sole, etc). THe only problem is that style is really uncomfortable (for me at least).
Manolo Blahnik actually had a gorgeous NUDE PATENT peep-toe d'Orsay (105mm/4-inch heel) that can be found on ebay now in a few sizes & for a VERY AFFORDABLE price!

Now that shoe is just as TIMELESS/CLASSIC (if not more so) than the CL VP. And quality-wise, well....I think the Manolo name & history speak for itself in that dept.
