I was browsing eBay a little while ago and I saw a pair of greatly abused Croisette flats for sale. Honestly I don't know how people cannot take care of such expensive shoes!
Anyway, these flats currently retail for about $600, so I was really apprehensive about the low price, even though the shoes didn't come with a dustbag or box. But I had them authenticated here (of course) and they're the real deal!
I guess no one wanted to take a chance on these cute flats, because I was the only bidder. When they arrived in the mail I was horrified -- the seller sent them in a mailing envelope with no padding! I probably shouldn't have been surprised, based on their condition.
I took them to my favorite cobbler in San Francisco, and $35 later, with new red soles and black heels, they are (almost) as good as new!
