Okay, I went crazy trying to catch a pair of Lanvin flats on sale several months ago. Unfortunately, I was always a day late for all the big department store sales. Im either a 39.5 or a 40 (depending on whose sizing advice I take), and those are apparently popular sizes. Eventually, I just became frustrated and gave up, but now Im willing to give it another shot.
Ideally, Id like to get a pair of the classic leather ballet flats in Black the original version without the hidden wedge. I realize Black is a popular color that may be hard to get on sale, so I am flexible on the color, especially if the price is right. However, I dont want patent, two-tone, maryjanes, or the ugly new perforated version.
Is anyone aware of any sales going on now or in the near future? I was also thinking that it might be wise for those of us in the US to buy from a UK retailer right now. The value of the GBP has dropped. Also, we shouldnt have to pay the 17.5% VAT tax that is included in most UK prices. Its like getting a 17.5% discount right off the top.
Does anyone know any good UK retailers? I noticed that Matches has them, but only in yellow patent.
Thanks in advance,
Jodi
