Real vs. Steal – Acne Atacoma Lace-Up Wedges

by Irina on July 28, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on July 28, 2010. Scroll down to see the new adds.

Acne‘s Atacoma wedges have been lusted after and obsessed over countless times after Alexa Chung has sported a pair on her now cancelled MTV show. They sold out as soon as they hit the virtual shelves of several online shops, have been restocked again, then sold out again. If you are a EU size 37 you can still get them for a steep $620 (€430) at MyTheresa. Cheap, I know!

Jeffrey Campbell 99 Zip Wedges

While these wedges by Jeffrey Campbell are not as high as the Atacomas and also don’t have the silver platform, overall they are still a good and affordable alternative.

I wanted the pair from Forever21 and debated for a few hours before buying but when I went to buy they were sold out. :( *kick*

@Taylor: Wasn’t aware F21 used to have a Atacoma knockoff? Was it recently? And sorry about the missed shoe oppurtunity. Definitely had a few of those moments myself. :-(
