Sandro copies Alden Cordovan Shoes
As I was wandering in Printemps Haussmann (Paris), I found out about the new pairs of boots and tassel loafer by LVMH brand Sandro (link). The thing is it looks exactly the same as Alden’s cordovan shoes: I can tell, I bought myself the Alden Cordovan Boots! This is just lame for a rising brand like Sandro to play it the fast-fashion way as Zara does!! I think I’m gonna be avoiding Sandro for a while…

In a way…this is just a classical design, a bit like polos, OCBD etc. I dont’ think we can say they’ve copied Alden. Maybe for the boots…but tassel loafer is such a non original design.
Hey, I totally get your point about the tassel loafer… But more than the shape similarity, they dyed both pairs just like it was in cordovan! Yet, you and I know that Alden is the master of cordovan shoes…
Besides, look the Sandro version of Givenchy dress: http://www.sandro-paris.com/eboutique-sandro/ah12/femme/robes/robe-regence-noir/produit-fiche,11,4,17,612290
To me, this is just a new policy: fast-fashion at higher price!
Makes me sick.
You’re maybe right for this. I didn’t knew about the givenchy dress. Anyway, I’m not a big fan of sandro, they do nice things but too expensive for a barely tolerable quality. I only buy when it’s on (heavy) sale.
