Real vs. Steal – Dolce & Gabbana Slingback Suede Wedges

by Irina on June 11, 2010

UPDATE: This post has been updated on June 23, 2010. Scroll down to read the news.

How gorgeous are these Dolce & Gabbana slingback wedges? Chances are you’ve probably seen them before – on the fabulous Rumi from Fashiontoast. I find it very easy to fall in love with these darlings. And this is exactly what happened to Rumi; she’s been heavily obsessed with these wedges and has worn them more than a dozen times with jeans, dress, over tights… well, basically with anything. Shortly after she debuted her new shoe obsession on her blog, we have been constantly flooded with requests to find a steal version of these; so, ladies and gentlemen (?), here you go…

UPDATE (06/23/2010): Good news, everyone! Solestruck finally has the JC “Mariel” wedges in stock. Most sizes sizes are still available, so you better hurry and order quickly before they sell out again.

Jeffrey Campbell and his team are paying close attention to the fashion blogosphere and they’re very well aware of the power and influence of our web 2.0 style icons. Hence I wasn’t overly surprised to find out JC came up with an almost identical Dolce & Gabbana knockoff called “Mariel”. These platform wedges are certainly going to sell out in no time, so head on over to Shopbop and get your pair before it’s too late.

Those are gorgeous on! I love the photos you posted them of models sporting them–looks so much better than the shoe by itself. Great find!

Ohh I love these in black! I have the cheetah print ones and they are so comfy and crazy! But I bought them here: http://www.shopnastygal.com/products/new/clothing/shoes/Mariel-Wedge-%252d-Leopard.html .. A little cheaper than Jildor and a lot cheaper than StyleBop!

i love Rumi and have wanted those D&G shoes since she first donned them. thank goodness for JC’s Mariel wedge. i had really wanted the pony hair version on shopnastygal.com, but they were sold out. then all they had was the cheetah print everywhere else. luckily, i JUST found the suede ones on shopbop today, then stumbled upon your post about it. already ordered probably the last size 6 and i can’t wait to get them. great post… always impressed at where you find the “steals”=)

Oh my god I never thought this pair of shoes looks so good on the foot. Amazing.

Thanks Holly, Kristy, Gwen 4 the tip & rizzamay. It’s so nice to have readers who appreciate what we do <3

ahh! i just missed this! i can’t believe they’re sold out already!! i’ve been looking all over to find a knock-off of the D&G ones but this is the closest i’ve seen. PLEASE post info with the next knock-offs you may find! <3

Irina May 31, 2010 at 4:07 AM

Yup, these went really fast. I’m sure other retailers will pick up the black suede version eventually. Which size & version do you want to score, Gaby? Because you can still pre-order the black leather version in a few sizes at REVOLVEClothing.

I’ll update the post whenever I see a restock anywhere or another knockoff version. Thank you for your comment.

Good news, everyone! Shopbop has restocked the JC Mariel wedges. All sizes are still available, so you better hurry and order quickly before they sell out again.

I just found Rumi’s page and fell in love with the D&G wedges. When I searched the net to find them I came across this page with the almost identical Jeffrey Campbell version, I had to find them . Shopbop is out of stock, but I just bought a pair at Urban Outfitters! They still have tons of small sizes last I looked!

Kelli July 30, 2010 at 10:34 PM

Urban Outfitters had these shoes for all of two days. Thank god I got them in time. Was so shocked at how similar the two shoes were! Had to get them!

Hi DOLLS,

I happen to be searching for images to use in my EBAY post and came across this article, I have these shoes brand new with tags, box, certificate in a size 9 and a half. Let me know if anyone is interested, I purchased the pair directly from the LA dolce & gabbana store.

merci
