Hi there, I'm so sorry to gate crash this post, but I'm desperate to know something about spotting a counterfeit Manolo Blahnik shoe. I'm looking at the Hangisi 'Something Blue' style. In my quests for answers, I have been searching many websites like Saks, Harrods, Harvey Nics and Nordstrom to look at their MBH collections, however, some pictures appear to show both the label with the 'R' symbol at the end of the last letter, and without the 'R' symbol. I am going insane not knowing and would like someone who knows their MB's to help me out. Thank you!
Dedicated to all MANOLO's owners... POST PICS!!!

I've longed for a pair of Manolo Blahnik BB pump. I am planning to get one, but can't decide which material is better, leather or suede. It seems suede BB is more comfortable to wear and that leather BB is easier to take care of.
Please give me some advice.
Please give me some advice.
Buy the ones you think you'll wear more. I personally love suede and still have some of his suede shoes going back decades. I've had to resole them but the suede has held up.
My only two pairs of BBs are patent. I'd love more in all fabrications. You really can't go wrong with them, no matter what the material. As audreylita said, suede can last if you take care of it.
I have several pairs of Manolo BBs in patent, kid, and snakeskin. I don't have any in suede, because it rains constantly here.
I love the patent...so durable and easy to care for! I take them in a 39.5 as they don't stretch. I also love the snakeskin, which are durable if cared for properly. It hake the snakeskin, suede, and kid leather in a 39 as they do stretch a little.
I think your choice should be based on the three criteria (this is how I make my shoe decisions)...
1) your lifestyle
2) the weather where you live
3) the amount of effort you want to put into caring for them
For me, the answered are as follows:
1) I can be hard on my shoes, do I prefer durable materials
2) it rains A LOT here, so suede and satin are out
3) I am willing to put in the time for preventative and long term care, which is why I have so many pairs of snakeskin.
I've found patent easiest to take care of, then leather, then suede, even though suede is more comfortable for my wide feet. But I live in a place where it gets wet and snowy so anything suede would automatically be out for usually half a year. I also go back and forth on the look of suede, I have one pair with super shiny embellishments on the toe but otherwise, I prefer the look of leather for my high pumps.
I have never seen lace Hangisi. These are stunning! Are they from the current season, our past season?
Thank you!Those are beautiful!
Well, I just bought them a couple of days ago. They are probably avail in Bergdorf, Neiman Marcus, Harrods, etc. However, like many Hangisi, stocks could be quite limited.
Hi ladies, how does the sizing run on the 70 mm suede BB pumps? I'm a 38.5 in the rounded toe 105 mm BB pump. Thank you!
