Some time ago, best fashion houses delivered something unavailable in standard shops. It was impossible to get these shoe products from smaller shoemakers or cheaper suppliers. The quality of the workmanship, phenomenal materials, design... These three elements distinguished most desired brands in the industry. At least this is how it used to be...

And now?

One cannot deny quality of Bronx or FLY London products. Material are also good. But what about cuts?

Well, there's definitely much to draw inspiration from.
See Cloe:

And now compare them with Bronx:

Look similar, don't they? Same soles, buckles, similar design of the tops, wooden heels...

Both models differ slightly, but are similar enough to meet expectations of women keen on a particular style. The biggest difference is the price. Cloe costs ten times as much as Bronx.

What would you do? Put aside to buy Cloe, or go for Bronx, which, in the end, are equal in style to Cloe... It doesn't really bothers me that Bronx didn't came up with this design first...
