Big eLUXURY Post-Holiday Deals

December 29, 2005 by Designer Ella

Sales can be exciting, like a department store offering that bag you’ve eyed from the beginning at over $100 off. But sometimes the marked-down selection can be small or disappointing—or barely a bargain. So I’m scouting out my favorites at the eLUXURY Post-Holiday Sale.

For handbags, it’s these two Marc Jacobs Collection Guinevere style bags. The Soft Calf Medium Guinevere is a satchel made of soft leather, in a divine teal, with a dark, matching suede flap, and refreshingly different push lock. Nearly a hidden secret, is a horizontal belt, cinching its gathered sides.

Even more interesting and kicky, if relatively less of a bargain, is the collection’s Soft Calf Cosmetics Pouch. The drop-shaped flap is aligned on one side of the bag, and when the top is unzippered, the open clasp reveals funky hardware that really works it. In the same fine materials as the Guinevere Satchel, and at 7.5″ width and 2″ diameter, I’d definitely carry this as a clutch—but it still carries that high end price of $228. Le sigh.

Now, the shoe section is where this gets really exciting for me. The Pucci Ankle Rain Boot, similar to the Pucci Printed Rain Boots I posted about in October, are on sale from $145 to $89!! A designer shoe (if rubber and for the rain) with a famous Pucci print is selling for under $100! Well, since I’ve been eyeing them for a discount for months, now. I scooped a pair right up.

There are a lot of gorgeous shoes on sale, although not for as little, and not in as many sizes as that boot (36, 37, 38, 39, 40). So, I’ll just encourage you to shop around for yourself. I hope you luck out!

Its quite funny to me that you would make fun of the pucci moon boot (which many people find to be adorable and practical) but rush to “scoop up” a pair of pucci rain boots. As you said about the moon boots, putting a coveted pattern on them does not make them any more desirable or attractive. Im sorry, but you are wrong about the moon boots and about these boots.

How can I be wrong about both if I like one and don’t like the other … when it seems you don’t think putting the pattern on makes it attractive?

Yes, I’m confused.

Okay, so you like the hideous Moon boot, a cold weather monstrosity. And you dislike these understated, quite normal rain boots.

The thing is, now I know these have a chunky heel, but they’re gosh darn rain boots! They need to be a little chunky, even ugly. The standard must be lowered. I wouldn’t want a thin heel in the rain.

Yep, I like them.

And of course I hate all moon boots. Check them out in my post here: Designer Moon Boots.

They speak for themselves to most practical-eyed fashionistas, but for those who haven’t clicked yet: GIGUNDO, embellished, and with even a much more complicated, eye-straining Pucci pattern (which is nice on the right items).

Hmm yes, that’s all there is to it.

Moon Boot is not the name of the boot offered by Pucci - believe it or not, the Pucci is a knock off.

Tecnica makes the original Moon Boot and owns the trade name Moon Boot.

Keep it real - don’t buy knock-offs.

Oh, I knew the Pucci was not “Moon Boot.” Thanks. I was referencing the original style. And I wouldn’t buy it. Although I did not know Tecnica owned the name. Thanks.
