Prada Floral Stiletto Knock-offs
Posted on March 14th, 2009 by galligator under Designer Shoe Déja Vu, High heels, Hot Shoe Deals and Steals, Platforms, Prada & MiuMiu Shoes, Pumps, Sandals, Shoes.com, Spot the Shoe on Sale, Spring 2008 shoesI’m fairly confident that I’m not the only gal who fell in love with these Prada shoes last year:
So breathtakingly gorgeous!
These Prada lovelies retailed for $590 last spring. If you were lucky, you were able to find them on clearance in your size for about $300. Long since sold out everywhere (except for a few pricey pairs that surface occasionally on ebay), you now have a chance to own an ‘inspired’ near-duplicate knockoff made by Pelle Moda:
Pelle Moda ‘Holly’ $101.50 $145 at Shoes.com
If these babies are still too rich for the budget-conscious, there is yet another lower-end alternative via the Newport News website.
Newport News Patent Pump with Floral Detail $49 $39
This one is not nearly as successful as either the original or the Pelle Moda copy. But, it will fit in most budgets. I actually wouldn’t mind the purple color variation, but I am horribly distracted by the excessive plastic-entombed glitter of this molded heel. These would have been much better off had somebody (anybody!) resisted the urge to pick up the glitter stick.

It just goes to show you… you get what you pay for.

The Newport News heel looks like something Polly Pocket would wear. If Polly Pocket wore heels, of course.
We’re all for the designer “inspired” fashion and we appreciate that the ‘Holly’ isn’t a complete rip-off of the glorious Prada Floral Heeled Peep Toe.

I love the flowers and the colors are wonderful, but the hill is too thin for me and I would never buy it. You would have to walk with great care and thought.

Good God, the first ones are soooooooo unbelievably beautiful and elegant! Love them most out of the three!

The Newport News looks like a mother of the bride shoe, or even a wedding shoe. A little too glitzy.
It’s a shame the “Holly” wasn’t more streamlined even a little. That looks like a clunker from 1997.

They maybe knock-offs but their cute enough to stand on their own.

[...] like the Prada-inspired Pelle Moda shoes that I showed you previously, these are near-knock-offs; with just enough details that are different from the original to keep [...]
