I ask the question because on Saturday (November 14th), H&M debuts the new Jimmy Choo shoe line. While the shoes range in price from $60 – $200 with the average around $150, is that right? The normal Jimmy Choo can be wrangled for as low as $400-ish but can clearly go up to $1400+++.
The question is easy: would you rather spend your money on new Jimmy Choos for H&M or purchase gently-worn resale Louboutins, Manolos and YSLs? I realize there may be a stigmaassocicated with consignment/resale/used clothing and accessories
but, I’ve seen and purchased some terrific second-hand buys! I have a wonderful pair of silver patina-colored 120mm shoes bestowed by the YSL gods, and purchased in Los Angeles — a steal for $160 which is roughly the same price as brand-new Jimmy Choos for H&M.
Would I trade them? Absolutely not! But the question is, would you?
If so, I suspect we’ll see you at a fever-pitched H&M store on Saturday to participate in what will surely be a sellout event!.

For some reason I have a mental block about spending a lot of money in a “cheapy” store…its why I will not buy the designer clothes they now sell at Target ( I will still by the t-shirts, sweaters, and summer dresses that are every day bargains at $10-$25.00) …I would rather get the real deal at a discount than the bargain knock off, because believe you me, the shoes they offer at H&M are going to say Jimmy Choo, but they are not going to be exactly the same as a $400-$1,400 Jimmy Choo….
