Alaïa Sandals, in Glorious Red

Alaïa is not for sale on Bergdorf’s website. There may be varying reasons for this — it may be considered too expensive to sell online, revealing the prices, or it may be in such limited stock that putting it online may be pointless.

However, when one walks past the windows at Bergdorf, the most stunning things in the windows are Alaïa.

So I took a trip up to the illustrious second floor to see the red coils of energy that are this Alaïa shoe myself.

It is indeed lovely, and soft, and sexy as can be.

And it can be all yours for $1,775 (!!!).

Sometimes I dream about owning a pair of Alaïa shoes, an Alaïa belt.

It is too much to dream of ever owning an Alaïa dress. Both for my wallet, and for my fashion sensibilities. What shoes do I currently own that could pair up well with an Alaïa dress? I own Manolos, but none of them could stand up to the Alaïa dresses I’ve seen. Maybe a Kirkwood, maybe a Dior, maybe a Hardy.

For now, I’ll just dream of someday owning these shoes, which would make any dress look like a million bucks.

Purchase your Alaïa red-hot open-toe sandals in-store at Bergdorf Goodman.
