ladies,
i thank you for your posts...at one point i thought i over-reacted. i asked myself should i let this go or should i stand up for something that i felt was so uncalled for and inappropriate.
i don't really care you buy things that made in china or not...i really don't. it's your money, it's your choice. if you think the quality is sub-par...may be. many ladies at the chanel forum complain about the quality and use ruler to measure the CC logo is off like 2mm. that's their right. tho it's something i don't do, but i don't feel anyway about it unless i was her SA.
i do take offense about those insensitive and offensive comments like ewww....
about the stuff made in china....well, i have to say some of the stuff here with the stamp "made in china" (if i ever pay attention...i don't really care, i buy what i feel like and don't care who made them) don't really impress me. but i've seen a lot of other stuff when i visited HK (every year to visit my parents) made in china, they were better quality and cheaper. i don't work in manufacture industry...i don't know why. but i noticed the difference in quality between here and in HK. the umbrellas (made in china) i see at those convenient stores, drug stores, mega stores....they are so overpriced and they look very cheap...they were so heavy and black and some ugly colors were the only option. i spent way less in HK to have an umbrella lighter and prettier.

Just received my Bazils today and I am so so disappointed....The shoes are GORGEOUS. The quality is amazing and I just love the super soft suede (I want to keep petting them, lol). The lizard print is subtle but makes them just special.
HOWEVER, I found this pair to run very small. I've been mainly an IM Dicker boot fan, so this would be my first pair of IM sneakers, but in the 5 boots I've owned I've always been a 40. This was at least 1/2 size too small. My feet are narrow so I am speaking only of length.
Is everyone else finding they run small???
I found this pair only by coincidence on NAP, so I don't know if I'll be able to find another pair, or if 41 might be too large anyway.
I wear a US9 and got size 39 & 40...I ended up keeping the 39. They were a little tight/uncomfortable in the toes at first, but they did stretch out after a few wears and it feels just right now!
I know I won't regret it at all! I don't think her sneakers really fall under the trendy category since she's been releasing these for a few years now, before the whole wedge sneaker craze took place. Sneakers are a fashion staple, so I don't think they'll really ever go out of style. I wear these more than a lot of my other shoes as well, so it's definitely money well spent.
Who knows when they will actually ship but there is a size 36 in the Bazils and Bekett on La Garconne available for pre-order...

Hey ladies, just in case there are any Londoners out there still searching for their sneakers, they still had the anthracite beketts (my favourite colour this season) out on the shop floor in Selfridges. Seeing as I already have my pair I didn't ask what sizes they have left, but I'm guessing a few seeing as this is the first time I've ever seen a pair of IM sneakers on display!! (I've asked many times before, but they always tell me they're gone within 2-3 days).
Beige VS Taupe . I know they are very similar color. Which one should I choose? Which one is more versatile in your opinion?
Ahhh! Same predicament as me. I fell for the beige originally and seeing them on Kate Bosworth, I actually like the way they get darker in color assuming you don't run around in dirt. I'm probably the only person who isn't too big on the taupe. Did you size up for them? I'm usually a size 7.5/8 (probably more often 8 unless it's flat shoes) and I'm unsure if 38 or 39 would fit better.

ITA. For example, did you know that Fossil makes Marc by Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Burberry, and Michele watches? So what makes a consumer willing to pay over $1k for a Michele watch but only pay $75 for a Fossil watch? Name only and perceived value. Real value is non existent when we are talking about shopping. Many of your high end brands are already producing goods in China at a very high quality. Most consumers have no problem paying top dollar for their made in China Apple products but get irate as soon as they learn their beloved fashion brand is now making, what they perceived as high end products,now in China. Hypocrisy. Educate yourself and be a better consumer instead of bashing all items made in one country.
Actually I like the beige more than the taupe. I am thinking if I can spray some suede protector.
. they run true to size, I think 38 should fit IT 37.5/IT 38 well. 39 is too big for you. (US7.5 equals to IT 37.5 right?Actually I like the beige more than the taupe. I am thinking if I can spray some suede protector.
I like beige better too. Glad you're picking that one
I remember past seasons the sizing seemed to run small so I assume that's not the case anymore.I like beige better too. Glad you're picking that one
Do you mean bobby /betty run true to size from last season? Beckett definitely run half size smaller (made in Portugal). Betty 2012 run true to size for me. (made in China). They are so comfy and chic. I love them so much! I think the beige is more summery. For colder weather, I will wear my beckett more often.

Sorry I meant Bobby. I tried on a pair of the Bobby in 39 from a past season and they fit great. The Beckett/Willow/Perkins/etc are awesome but I feel like I'm not daring enough to wear them
