Why??????!!!!
Does that mean these styles will look outdated since its not available anymore?
Sheesh!!

Will still love all my tributes and wear them as much as I am holding on to my G21 bags!!!

I honestly don't know!! :sad: I really don't think so... I think the Tributes and Tribtoos are classic and a part of YSLs history... I liken them to a classic Chanel (you won't stop wearing em once many years have passed) or like you said, the G21 Bals (which I also have, love and wear)!! Plus, no matter whether the average person recognizes the shoes as YSL or not, they are still aesthetically pleasing and a shoe home run, haha. I'll wear mine proudly too!

Omg really? Part of why I bought them is bc I thought the style would be around for ages! Ugh I hate their new direction. Liked the name better YSL than saint laurent!

I totally agree!! Over the years I've accumulated five pairs of Tributes and two pairs of Tribtoos... discontinued or not, I think they are gorgeous and classic (and maybe will be even more coveted once they are no longer in production)... I think you should wear yours proudly! :smile1:

Yeah, seriously... SLP sounds so stupid... reminds of me SJP (for Sarah Jessica Parker) or something I can't even say, haha.

ITA even if they are discontinued I think people will wear them for years (I will.) But seriously how disappointing!

I'm in need of opinions ladies! :smile1: My husband purchased me my first pair of YSL Tribute sandals, but I'm torn on whether they're too small or not.

Please forgive me in advance for the nasty feet. :shame: I'm in dire need of a pedicure.

And please excuse my ugly towel. I didn't want to scratch the soles of the shoes, so I threw one of our rag towels down to get better photos near the mirror. :shame:

Anyway, here are some shots of the Tributes on my feet:

I generally wear a US12 and the shoes are a 42, so I don't have the option of sizing up. They're not uncomfortable, but I feel as if my left toe hangs over the footbed just a tad and I wonder if the shoe does or will look too small to others.

Thanks! :smile1:

TThey are really lovely but sadly look too small.

I read this article today - sounds like the YSL PR people need to tone down the pompousness as well. But at least, I now kind of understand their so-called brand architecture, logo changes (or not) etc.

Thanks for sharing. That really explains a lot. The new website is so boring and now I realize that these all-black bag and shoe designs are the types of things we can expect from Slimane.

I hope you are wrong but think you might be right.

His bizarre anti-New York Times twitter rant was a bit much too. I actually didn't mind the clothes but I really want the bags and accessories to have variety. YSL has traditionally done that very well. Things can evolve but that does not mean they need to change completely.

And as much as I wear black often, even I want some color!

According to a PurseBlog post, Women's Wear Daily reported that Hedi isn't discontinuing the Tributes as they are too valuable a seller. They aren't on the new Saint Laurent website though, so I'm not sure what's happening with them.

If you search for "tribute" on the new Saint Laurent website, they pop up. But I can't figure out how to navigate to them otherwise.
