Giuseppe Zanotti and Chinese Laundry: Rhinestone Sandals Face Off

Aug 8 2010 by Jordan

It is obvious how much we adore Giuseppe Zanotti. What’s there not to love when all he creates are so gorgeous you can’t take your eyes off them?

But if there’s one thing I don’t like with Giuseppe, it would be the price tags. A pair usually ranging from $500-$1500 is no joke. You can already build a decent wardrobe with that kind of money, right?

Attainable or not, this doesn’t stop us from admiring the brilliant work of Giuseppe Zanotti.

Take for instance this.

Giuseppe Zanotti Embellished Sandals, $793 from $1360

A seamlessly executed concoction of studs and jewels set against black luxurious leather. This particular pair is a celeb favorite. But even if already on sale at Zappos, it is still expensive!

And then I stumbled into this.

Chinese Laundry Money Maker Platform Sandals, $109.95

It’s not Giuseppe, but it’s not far either, isn’t it? I feel like if you were to achieve a look with the Giuseppe Zanotti above in mind, this is not a bad alternative, should you want something more attainable.
