Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti E95015 Navy Striped Cork Sandals

by Irina on November 11, 2009

Well, as you may or may not know I am happily addicted to shoes and one of my fave shoe designers is mastermind Giuseppe Zanotti whose designs never fail to amaze me. Half of my wish list consists of his creations and these nautical inspired cork platform sandals were on top of this list for at least half a year. They originally retailed for $695, but even though they’re on sale now they are a) not my size and b) still too expensive for me.

Nine West “Cawley” Cork Platform Sandals

Now look at these babies by Nine West! Think you see double? No, you don’t. Nine West’s “Cawley” Sandals are an almost identical copy of the above shown Giuseppe Zanotti patriotic sandals. I was so excited when I spotted these amazing, budget-friendly alternative. They come so close to the originals it’s almost illegal. ;-) LOVE. LOVE. LOVE!

Designer Fashion 4 Less – Giuseppe Zanotti Cut-Out Peep-toe Booties

by Irina on September 3, 2009

Finding weather appropriate shoes for the transition phase between summer and fall can be quite tough sometimes. You can’t wear sandals because your feet would freeze at night, but wearing booties the all day long will cook your feet and make them a boiling torture as well. That’s why open-toe ankle booties are just perfect for this difficult time. They let your feet breathe during the day, but keep them warm at night. The Giuseppe Zanotti cut-out peep-toe booties below are a great example of such footwear.

Type Z “Twilight” Cut-out Ankle Boots

These cut-out peep-toe booties by Type Z will give you an almost identical Giuseppe Zanotti look for about 1/6 of the original’s sale price. The heel is slightly thicker on these knockoffs, but apart from that they could be easily mistaken for the real deal, don’t you think?

Dorothy Perkins Lace Up Strap Booties

UK/European fans of the above Giuseppe Zanotti peep-toe booties can save some serious cash as well by opting for these Zanotti look-a-likes by Dorothy Perkins. They lack the contrast white stitching, but make up for this with the almost identical stiletto heel. Plus, they’re currently on sale for £25 (were £38).

Real vs. Steal – Giuseppe Zanotti Cutout Sandals

by Irina on August 6, 2009

UPDATE: This post has been updated on August 06, 2009. Scroll down to see the new knockoffs.

I LOVE Giuseppe Zanotti shoes! No big surprise I know, which shoe fanatic wouldn’t love exquisite, premium Italian shoes? The sexy cutout sandals below belong to my absolute favorites, but since my budget won’t allow for such a heavy purchase, all I can do is dream. And look out for some knockoffs.

ZiGiny “Diva” Heel

UPDATE (08/06/2009): Found these awesome Giuseppe Zanotti knockoffs by ZiGiny today.

Finally someone got the cut-outs right even though I wish they would’ve kept the silver heel like the originals. Available color options are black, cognac and brown.

Urban Vibe Strappy Heels

UPDATE (08/06/2009): Another great Giuseppe Zanotti knockoff version I found on Wet Seal.

Don’t they look like the Zanottis? Almost identical and they even have the cute silver stiletto heel. Best thing is: they retail for very affordable $24.50. Click on the link below and navigate to the shoe section or enter style number “41202128” in the search field to find the knockoffs on the website.

Michael Antonio “Selma” Cutout Sandals

UPDATE #1: So after I published the Giuseppe Zanotti knockoffs below a few hours earlier this day, I accidentally stumbled upon another Zanotti inspired pair.

The “Selma” cutout sandals by Michael Antonio are almost spot-on. The only thing that differs is the heel which is black instead of silver. Not talking about the quality aspect of course. The cutout edges on these here don’t look perfect as well, but at least they are a lot better than on the Pierre Dumas version, no? Other available color options at FlyJane are plum or red.

HOT DEAL: All my loyal InTheirCloset readers receive $10 OFF their purchase of $100 or more. Use coupon code FJINTHEIRCLOSET.

Pierre Dumas IDEAL-2 Cutout Sandals

These sandals by Pierre Dumas are almost identical and although the cutout edges look a little bit raw, I think they are still a good option if you are looking to save a huge amount of cash (more than 90% to be exact!). The sandals come in either black or tobacco and retail for $46.98. Snap them up while you can, I’m pretty sure they will sell out soon.

In Vanessa Hudgens’ Closet – Falls, Joe’s Jeans and Giuseppe Zanotti

by Irina on January 21, 2009

High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens is quickly becoming THE style icon for fashionable youngsters. The 20-year-old actress proved her chic sense of style when she attended the High School Musical 3 photocall in Sydney back in November 2008.

Vanessa wore a purple print halter-neck top from Falls, a black skinny jean from Joe’s Jeans and – my favorite item of her outfit – a pair of to-die-for Giuseppe Zanotti t-strap stilettos in tortoise with a golden buckle on the front.
