Hi everyone! I'm new to posting in the Manolo community, but I've been lurking for a while :ninja:

I know this is kind of a long shot, but I just bought a pair of Manolo BB's off eBay that unfortunately don't come with the box. Does anyone know how easy it is to track down a box (I know on eBay the sale of them is prohibited and you really have to jump on them the moment you see them, but I haven't seen a listing in while...), or how often they pop up? :wondering

I get that you shouldn't be storing the shoes in the box, but I'm kind of obsessive about having all my nice shoes with matching dustbags/shoebox. :shame: Does anyone have any advice/tips? It'll be greatly appreciated :hugs:

Why is it not good to keep them in the box? Is it just because they are too pretty to kept kept out of sight? I store mine in the dust bag in the box... :/ I would LOVE to keep them on a shelf in full view, but I don't think my apartment (and fiancé) can handle that :)

hi everyone!

i was hoping to get your advice on the patent BBs. do you size the same way as the suede BBs and is the patent very painful/difficult to break in?

thanks for your help!! :flowers:

I don't have the BB's 105 in any suede but have it in Kid, Nappa and patent colors and they are all the same size...also, no pain when breaking in....comfortable from day one....

For any lucky gals in Manhattan who like the exotics, there appears to be another sale on the alligator shoes. I'm hearing that he will no longer be making the alligators because the price of the skins has gotten too high.

So it may be now or never if you want them.

Thanks again for the heads up audreylita! This was my first visit to the NY boutique and I have to say, they have a much better selection than the Las Vegas location. I was finally able to try on a pair of the 115mm BB and they had tons of exotics!

As you said the gators were on sale 50% off. I almost came home with a pair, a ficelle gator Carolyne 90 slingback. I loved them so much because I don't have the style or that color skin in my collection. I would have danced out the door with them, except they were discolored.

I think the selection they have left is limited and some remaining stock might be the display, hence the discoloration. It's definitely worth checking out. They had the Carolyne slingback in varying heights and colors, Bilixa and other styles and colors.

How did the 115 BBs fit compared to the 105s?

Hi guys, I have a pair of metallic gold BB's that I bought fairly cheap at a consignment store and I was thinking of having them strassed....But I have yet to see anyone strass Manolos....I'm curious to know what you ladies think. Would it look to weird? I was thinking it would be a similar look to CL's So Kates, unfortunately I haven't seen anyone strass So Kates yet.

May I ask your opinion as to why? I keep going back and forth. I keep thinking aesthetically it could go either way.... They are very simple pumps but then again they are also very long pumps. I'm thinking maybe just the heel for now because I think that would highlight the fairly unique stiletto.

I just looking to find a way to hide some of the scuffs that are so apparent on metallic leather without re-dying, because I think it would take away the metallic sheen I love in the shoe
