Designer Items, best and worst purchases?

[Wifo1976]

I just found this thread and swoooon! Love google searching some of the things you buy haha.
Can I ask people’s opinions on Sophia Webster’s? I bought a pair and they didn’t fit I’m size 8 and my big toes were hanging. They didn’t have my size in dubai when I went either. I’ve wanted a paid for about 5 years now but I’ve decided I want the wifey ones for my wedding (I’m single so it could be a long long time). What’s the deal with the sizing? Comfortable? Worth the price?

I bought a mulberry daria for my 21st and it was the worst purchase I never ever use it. Would love to sell it or use it against something else.

@Scorpihoe is your SW gal!

also have you seen that Mulberry are doing an exchange now for their older designs? Seems a good idea!

Im not going to lie my Sophia Webster’s are the worst purchase I have ever made s I have the Chiaras and worn twice and don’t think I’ll ever torture myself again with them

I was in selfridges this week and I picked up a BV mini jodie that was on display. I wasn’t feeling it at all so I put it back and finalised that I won’t be purchasing.

I go up a size, they're notoriously uncomfortable so sizing up helps a bit. I'm not sure how much the wifey ones are but they are pretty shoes!

Yeah I think I need the size up I bought a pair of chiaras and they didn’t fit at all! Didn’t have the next size up in stock so I had to return them. I really want the Rosalind but always don’t have my size 🥲🥲🥲🥲

ooh what colour was it? was there a reason in particular you didn't like it?

It was black, they also had a green one out. Just didn’t feel comfortable to hold and dare I say it felt cheap.

hey!! Welcome to the thread

I have a couple of pairs of Sophia Webster’s, and honestly they’re pretty uncomfortable. They aren’t my comfiest heels! The Rosalind strap is way too tight across the foot (and I have slim feet), they actually leave a mark after I wear them.

The Evangeline is uncomfortable on the heel and the sole of the foot. This is because the “Sophia Webster” label sort of sticks out and the stitching hurts..it’s hard to explain but the writing isn’t ‘flat’. It’s hard to see in pictures but it bulges a bit. Also the bit before the wings, the gold scallop edge digs in a little and is uncomfy.

That said, I do love love the craftsmanship and feel like they are stunning shoes that have quality. I would say they are worth the price, simply from the look alone. I’d say they are my second most complimented shoe (the Evangeline), because they’re so unique!

the sizing is a little weird. I’m usually a 36 in all designer shoes, and 2/3 of my SWs are a size 3. But the gold Rosalind could do with sizing one up, so in the silver Rosalind I purchased a 36.5, and they are much better! (Not sure if that’s the same for all models) but it helped sizing half a size up. The Evangelines are great though

sorry for the ramble, I hope that helps If you want to know anything else feel free to ask xx

Bloody pink WOC has gone I was looking at it as it sold . Couldn’t see the black one

Guys sorry I’m coming in to derail with jewellery chat.
I’ve been to pick out my birthday gift (the big 3-0) from T&Co in Manchester today - you know you have a perfect SA when you can let him come up with a shortlist with your other half. Usually I tell them what I want to look at but they absolutely nailed it and surprised me - I swear he knows me better than I know myself. I got a platinum Elsa Peretti Diamonds by the Yard.. it’s to die for and has such fire in the stone it’s such a classic piece, casual and dressy, I love that I’ll wear it forever.
Sorry for the rant, just wanted to tell people who will appreciate

Thank you @Gembo - it really is! Can’t wait to wear it but have to until my actual birthday on the 5th

Necklace?

Yep. I tried the earrings as well though and did like the setting, it’s quite unusual. Maybe for my 40th

What did it go for? I couldn’t see it the pink was the first one on the page but literally sold as I went to look at the details. I’m going to have to go and check them out IRL

After seeing all the comments about the chloe sandals I am sooo glad I didn’t buy them, I thought they’d look cute with summer outfits

I love the DBTY collection, I have a little diamond bracelet from them I used to have an aquamarine one but I lost it

At least you didn’t do what I did...I bought two different colours at the same time and kept both, so £700 on shoes I can’t wear I’m determined to find a solution, at some point I’m going to see if I can glue some softer material under the straps or something. Can’t send mine back either so got to try and find a way to make them work weirdly saw so many reviews of people saying they’re comfy...must have feet made of rock or something I do not get it ! I’ve still got the marks on my feet from wearing them last summer :/
