Modelling YSL Tribute Sandals

[goodbrand]

I need help on these two YSL Tribute, one at Nordstrom reg. $850 in Black Nappa http://m.nordstrom.com/Product/Details/3140084?origin=keywordsearch
And other at NM reg. $1095
http://www.neimanmarcus.com/product.jsp?itemId=prod139100374. Why both in different price or may be the one at NM the trap's edge finished with stitches so the price more than one with non finished at NT ( raw cut)

Looks like they're different seasons, the Nordstrom one has limited sizes so that probably means it's older.

(posting this desktop link, the mobile one you posted went to a red Tribute).

The differences are negligible IMHO so if you fit one of the Nordstrom sizes, I would go with that one.

Here are pictures where I highlight why they're different. Do you think that why their price different too, but huge gap from $850 to $1095 or NM mark up their price! ( @NM promotion 35% off if you buy any 3 sale items) Since I like NM style looks durable. I called NM customer service but I got an unclear answer.

I see the difference. I believe the extra stitching makes it more expensive. I do like it better though!

I do see the difference, but as you noted the price gap is big and to me, paying $250 more for some extra stitching that you have to look closely to see seems a bit much (for me.)

I guess if you really like the stitching, go for it.

Yup, it's the piping on the NM shoe that is bringing the price up. I actually prefer the plain leather ones ... the lower price is nice, too

Actually, now that I'm looking again, I think the difference is less about the stitching and more about the treatment and finish of the leather.

The $850 ones have a leather that is almost 'matte' in finish. I am pretty sure those are the ones I own, and the texture of the leather is more visible, almost as if it was crepe (not thin like crepe, but I'm talking about the subtle surface texture.) Another comparison would be if you were to color with a charcoal pencil - it's a textured, matte finish.They are way less likely to reflect light.

The $1095 ones appear to have a different treatment of the leather. It's not patent, but it's glossy, smoother and more reflective of light.

So I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

Thank you all, I ordered the one at NM with 35% off ( buy 1 20%, buy 2 25% off and buy 3 sale items save 35%) promotion ended 08/15/12.

Hi, I received my shoes today, I have both YSL Tribute sandals without T-bar strap in Napa leather (@NM reg. $1095 on sale last week $711 ) and Suede (@Bluefly sale $379). Here are pictures I wearing both sandals with my Aidan Mattox in Dark Teal Sequin Dress, do you think which one look better. Or I go with metallic Tribute (new one with strap in pewter, gold and silver).thanks

They both look nice but I think I like the suede pair to go with the dress more to have a contrast in textures with the dress if you know what I mean. I think the metallic is too much to go with the dress meaning it will detract attention (or even clash with it) from it. Hope this makes sense.

Nice collection! I love the red and pink ones!

 

[renee_nyc]

I would go with either of the black, you'll be able to wear them with tons of other things. I also feel like the pewter competes with the dress.

I like the contrast in textures between the suede and the dress. The suede is dark, matte and inky and the dress sparkles so I think they play off each other nicely. However either choice works.
