Who Says They Aren’t Collectable?

Who Says They Aren't Collectable? on vickiarcher.com

I tried resisting but it’s not working.

Shoes are like that; they are either a girl’s best friend and a can’t-live-without or they don’t do it for you.


They have always been my great love, along with a good handbag – they still are. As a child, I was obsessed with shoes and bags to the detriment of my dolls, according to my mother. I collect them, cherish them more than I probably ever wear them but it is all part of the passion. These from Balenciaga are as bold as they are beautiful and comfortable to wear. My biggest problem? Which pair to love?


The kittens are cute and the black slingbacks work with everything but the red; now we are talking. They are a dream red and when wearing all black, how could I go wrong? Like a slick of vibrant lipstick, they do the work for me.

I don’t normally go for a visible label but on these, I’m mad about it. The double “B” reminds me of a vintage label or design but I can’t quite put my finger on it. Any ideas?

Shoes like these are an investment and so they need to not only pull out all the stops but also be collectable. Pointy toes and flats are very much my things, like kitten heels, so as pieces to keep I know they will have longevity in my wardrobe. The tough choice is which pair?

I’ve been browsing Nordstrom and their beautiful shoe collections – they have everything and more we could possibly covet – but I remain committed to these. There are others, many others to do the same work, but I’m stuck. Something else will have to go.



The only decision left? Which ones?

I’m thinking it has to be the red pair. xv
