I have been a huge fan of laser cut shoe detail since I first encountered this Cavalli T7711 shoe several years ago (’07).
And, while the color contrast of the rainbow backing fabric was too busy for some people, the flawless detail of the leather with it’s peakaboo cutouts has never lost it’s charm to me. I almost forgot to breath when I first saw this shoe; you just don’t forget when you have that kind of gut reaction to something. Oh, and there was a matching roll clutch…just amazing.
So, while I could never justify $700+ on sale for this particular variation, the last 3 years have seen more companies entering into the laser-cut detail arena. This, to my mind, is a good thing.
I was reminded of this shoe the other day at Nordstrom Seattle when I saw this shoe on display in the Shoe Salon area:
Burberry ‘Nova Broderie Anglaise’ pumps $550 $364.90 at Nordstrom.com, $358 at Zappos Couture.
Another peek-a-boo, window-paned shoe with a little more color subtlety than the Cavalli. This time the cutouts are flirting with the signature Burberry plaid and successfully abstracting it in the process!
When I checked online, I found it was also available in a both peep-toe pump and a ballerina flat.
Burberry Nova Broderie Anglaise Peep-Toe Pumps $550 $358 at Zappos Couture
Burberry Nova Broderie Anglaise Ballerina Flat $495 $322
I can’t help but find the whole effect to be rather charming. If that qualifies my taste as a little over the top, I can live with that.

I love that Burberry Peep-Toe! Those Cavallis would be gorgeous in gold over black.

Crystal – you always seem to have less boisterous taste than me…oh well.
R5 – I think they were originally $1200 which was too much. They also came in a more subdued brown that was also pretty, but I haven't found any photos since they have been sold out for at least a year.
