Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Bis Un Bout PVC Ankle Strap Pumps

February 10, 2019

Very much the modern update on a classic pointy-toe pump, this design by Christian Louboutin is perfect for the fashionista who wants to be the first to add another sexy pair of heels to her wardrobe. While most versatile in black, (the way Rihanna and Lea Michele wear theirs), if you’ve got the budget to also get them in neon yellow… you can count on your feet getting a considerable amount of attention all season and beyond. And considering the popularity of this pair among Hollywood’s most stylish stars, it’s no wonder you can’t find them in stores. But, the good news is other designers are definitely catching on and look-alikes have begun to emerge… One of the first designs to echo this coveted futuristic design at an affordable price is shown below.

Wild Rose Posy-01 PVC Ankle Strap Pumps

If you are a huge fan of the designer look above, then why not have a little fun with this version by Wild Rose? While it’s definitely not worth a huge investment, if you’re one to try many different styles, you can have a lot of fun wearing these. I do wish they had a little bit of a higher/skinnier heel and lower cut toe, but for ca. $30 you can play with this trend and show a little pop of neon under some trousers during cocktail hour. Pick one other accessory in a complimentary neon shade (like a cuff or a great belt) to really pull the outfit together and make it look effortless. Perhaps try the bright orange pair under some navy pinstripe trousers, a white blouse and a couple bright bangles in gold and magenta.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Paloma Spike-Embellished Chain Clutch

September 17, 2018

Usually, when we feature anything Christian Louboutin, we’re talking about his beautiful shoes, but the French shoe designer has also been designing bags for quite some time now. Luckily, Monsieur Louboutin is as talented a bag designer as he is when designing his signature red soled shoes. Looking at his bag collection I noticed that Louboutin tends to stick to using his favorite shoe design elements on his bags as well, e.g. studs, spikes, rhinestones, graphic prints, sequins, etc. The Paloma clutch is a wonderful testament to Louboutin’s design talent. The beautifully crafted bag is embellished with polished gunmetal-tone spikes on the front flap, has an adjustable, delicate chain strap and fire engine red interior which is peeking out from the sides and hence creates Louboutin’s signature black and red signature look. This bag is both elegant and edgy; and unfortunately also very expensive.

Forever 21 Spiked Faux Leather Crossbody

Not in the mood to drop over 1k on a bag? Same here. So imagine my delight when I stumbled upon this spikey crossbody chaing bag at Forever 21 recently which would be a great dupe for the pricey Louboutin original above. It has a few minor design differences (e.g. larger spikes which are silver and not gunmetal and a slightly different bag shape), but the overall look still screams Louboutin, don’t you agree? I also love that F21 kept the fire red interior which makes the bag look more luxe in my opinion. And did I mention it costs only $22.90? Steal deal alert!

Copycat Math – Christian Louboutin + Christian Louboutin = Dune London

September 7, 2018

While doing my usual designer dupes search round, I discovered a pair of fabulous stiletto pumps with a gold reptile textured finish at Dune London and was immediately reminded of Christian Louboutin’s famous So Kate stiletto heels. I was almost certain I would find the original real deal for this particular dupe, a So Kate version with a gold reptile finish, but apparently there is none…yet. Upon closer inspection though I noticed that Dune London’s Banksy heels look a lot like they’re a love child between Louboutin’s $995 So Kate Laminato Dino in gold and his $745 So Kate Specchio Martele in silver. The designer versions would set you back $1.740 in total whereas you can have both looks in one with Dune London for a much lower $125 instead! Score!

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin So Kate Pointed-Toe Stiletto Pumps

September 4, 2018

Dear Pigalle, I know you won’t like this, but there’s a new queen in town, her name is So Kate aka shoe perfection and she is probably Louboutin‘s hottest and most coveted style at the moment. One look at her and you will instantly understand why. The shiny black leather, the thinning stiletto heel, the perfectly shaped arch – everything about this shoe is just perfect! Plus, while the price of $675 now: $725 sure isn’t exactly a bargain, compared to what other Louboutin styles are usually retailing for, these here are on the rather budget-friendlier side of the designer shoe price range. Which is also probably the reason why “So Kate” is constantly on the verge of selling out at nearly every e-tailer. Anyway, this beauty of a high heel has definitely taken the #1 spot on my current shoe wish list and until I have saved up the neccessary $725 to bring them home, I’ll settle for a less expensive Louboutin look-a-like in the meantime.

Celebrities Love Christian Louboutin

Celebs such as Miranda Kerr, Emmy Rossum, Blake Lively, Jessica Biel, Sophia Bush and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley have all been spotted wearing Christian Louboutin So Kate Pointed-Toe Stiletto Pumps.

h3>Barneys New York Stiletto Pumps

Update (09/04/2018): Came across these fabulous 4″ stiletto pumps by Barneys New York today which I think would be great albeit slightly expensive Louboutin dupes. These pumps are “Made in Italy”, so I guess you can expect superb craftsmanship and quality which might justify the rather hefty $295 price tag. They’re available in various colors and uppers including a patent versionicon and a suede versionicon.

Kurt Geiger London Soho Pointed Toe Stiletto Pumps

Update (08/20/2018): It’s been a while since we last added new Louboutin dupes here, but the moment I saw these stiletto heels by Kurt Geiger I knew these were dead-ringers for the So Kate pumps. Sure, they do not have the red sole, but the red lining which is almost identical to Louboutin’s signature shade of red totally gives it away. Available in black or red patent for £139. Love, love, love these!

Update (04/19/2017): I also discovered these stiletto pumps by Steve Madden which actually more resemble Louboutin’s Pigalle Folliesls heels, but since both Louboutin styles are very similar in terms of design, the Maddens suit as an alternative here as well. Available in various colors and uppers.

Guoar Pointed-Toe Stiletto Pumps

Update (01/08/2017): Came across these Louboutin look-alikes by Guoar. These seem to be of the “Made in China”-kind of designer dupes, so you better don’t expect top noth quality here, but for $48 these might be a good So Kate alternative (customer reviews average a 4 star rating with plenty of self-submitted buyer’s photos, so you can make an informed buyer’s decision). What I really, really liked about these Loubie dupes though is the variety of colors these come in: 31 (either in faux patent, leather or suede). Love!

Kaitlyn Pan Pointed-Toe Stiletto High Heel Pumps

Update (07/13/2016): There’s also a fabulous So Kate dupe available by Kaitlyn Pan for $99 and which also comes in nude patent. The design is spot-on, it’s made of genuine leather and if you read the customer reviews for the brand’s other designer inspired shoes, you’ll know you’ve found yourself a good designer dupe with these Louboutin-like beauties. The only drawback (if you consider it to be one) is that the sole is pink instead of Louboutin’s signature red. But everything else looks exactly like Louboutin’s So Kate.

Et voilà, check out PROTO by Steve Madden! Yes, I know it’s not a total spot-on dupe and that it’s not as delicate and immaculately curved as the real deal Louboutins, but “PROTO” is probably still the best shot you’ve got at “So Kate” on a budget. At least for now. $52.47 (sale price!) and you’re wearing Louboutin for less, girl! Available in various lovely colors and uppers: black, blush, pink, white, red, yellow and natural snake.

Real vs. Steal – Christian Louboutin Crosspiga Patent Pumps

November 16, 2017

What a shame that these Christian Louboutin heels went mostly unnoticed by the fashion world and have only been worn by a handful of celebs. Personally, I think these deserve a lot more attention because they’re absolutely fabulous. “Crosspiga” features the same silhouette as Louboutin’s most iconic style, the “Pigalle“, but “Crosspiga” has an extra two thin straps crossing on the arch. What a sexy shoe, right? If I had the money to buy myself a pair of Loubies without having to worry about how to pay next month’s rent, I’d so get these.

The black patent pump is lovely and classic, but my personal favorite would have to be the delicate gold snakeskin version. So glamorous!
