I went to dubai recently for about 9 or 10 days and spent a few whirlwind days checking out the malls and shopping a bit. I had hoped to find some designer shoes to go with my bridal lehnga (my wedding is in June next year). I didn’t end up buying anything but did lots of window shopping. I hadn’t looked at prices of designer shoes in Toronto or the U.S. so can’t really compare them to dubai. But other things that I was comparing prices of (e.g. high end watches) were more expensive in dubai than Toronto (in spite of the fact that there is no tax on goods in dubai).
I went to Mall of Dubai and another mall - I think Emirates Mall to look at matching clutches and shoes. I checked out Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin. I liked one or two shoes at Jimmy Choo but nothing I had to have. I didn’t like anything at all at Blahnik - not my style I think. And one or two Louboutins were nice but were very pricey and out of my budget. I liked two other designers that I had never heard of: Gianmarco Lorenzi (I heard Russians really love his shoes) and Zess. I think they’re both Italian. Anyone else heard of them? I loved Zess expecially as they had matching clutches and shoes. Problem was that I had not bought my lehnga yet so I couldn’t buy my shoes. I’m leaning towards Zess for now, though I’ve never seen them in Toronto - anyone else know if you can Zess shoes in Toronto or somewhere in the U.S.? I might end up getting a friend to pick up them up for me from Dubai Mall. It’s either that or Jimmy Choo shoes. I think clutch and shoes were coming to approx. $ 1,000 for Zess. The Jimmy Choos were pricier.
Anyone know if it’s cheaper to buy Jimmy Choos from Toronto or the U.S.? I am going to be going to Las Vegas in 2 or 3 month - I’m wondering if I should look there instead of Toronto?
I’ve never bought a pair of designer shoes but thought it would be nice to get a pair for wedding. What do other people think - is it worth it or not? Also, what colour shoes should I get? The colour combination for my bridal lehnga is red and purple with golden kaam as well as crystals on it. Sugestions pls!!!
