Has anyone purchased or tried the Bluebell sneaker? Looks like the Blossom (which looks like the Bobby) except it is made of suede rather than pony hair. Curious if it will be available in black.

I just realized that there's been price increases on IM shoes. I bought my Camel Bobbys just late last month at Barneys NY for $640 & now it's $695. I was also eyeing the Cluster in Black leather for $775 & now it's $845. Jeez... I started getting into IM shoes at the wrong time:sweatdrop:. I also read somewhere that her new sneakers are now Made in China. My Bobbys are Made in Portugal.

Hey ladies

I'm sooooo sorry I'm positing an authentication post here, but nobody is available to answer my question in the "authenticate these shoes" thread, and I'm desperate as the seller is waiting for a reply :(

I can't find the beige bekett's anywhere else...

TIA!

They look ok to me. I'm trying to compare them to my own and there are no obvious "fake" signs.

It's a shame you didn't check here sooner, when I bought mine from Selfridges I posted and said they had plenty of stock (they don't international ship but you can call and get them shipped or ask someone to proxy them for you). I hope you don't have to pay too much over retail for them!
 
I hope that I made the right choice... Ordered the Blossom sneakers from matches even though I sort of wanted the Bluebells but they were not available in black (they are identical but Blossom is pony hair/suede while Bluebell is suede). Now Forward has the Bluebells in black! Sort of annoyed now. Matches will be difficult to return, and the sneakers are virtually identical and will probably end up more or less the same price after customs etc. Which do you prefer - pony hair/suede or just suede?

jellybebe I really love the Blossoms - they're right near the top of my wish list at the moment! I like the idea of the glossy pony hair giving the all black sneaker a bit of a lift especially in winter (and especially since I often wear black on black).
But I already own the dark anthra suede Bobbys so the Blossoms would be in addition to them and a less casual looking sneaker than Bobby (or Bluebel). Blossom would look great with leather pants!
Both are lovely. Think it really depends on whether you want/need a slightly more sophisticated looking sneaker or the more casual Bluebell.

Thank you! I feel better now. I was a bit worried that the pony hair might be too high maintenance which is why I wanted all suede, but suede is pretty high maintenance too. I do sort of like the touch of luxe that pony hair gives to the Blossom, which is what attracted me to them in the first place.

Suede is probably more high maintenance! And ponyhair is more special. I have a black bag with a burgundy pony hair front and the pony hair holds up quite well. It's not ruined when it gets rained on, which is worse for suede. I like the ponyhair and T think you made a good choice :smile1:

ITA - pony hair gives them a deliciously luxe edge!
I'd love to see pics when they arrive. I check Matches everyday to make sure my size is still available, even though I really can't justify them :rolleyes:
 
Please excuse my ignorance but are the Bobbys, Bluebells and Blossoms all similar style just slightly different fabric etc?

I have my eyes on the Bluebells, can anyone please give me sizing info? I wear 37 in my suede dickers. Do these run big/small/TTS?

They do look like each other, but Bobbys have been there for a few years and the others are new models. The leather Bobby is the Betty. The Bluebell (suede) and Blossom (ponyhair) are the same style. They are different from the Bobby, a few posts before yours is a picture (for example, the velcro that's on them isn't on the Bobby).
