Alaïa, Birkenstock, Prada, Ganni, Isabel Marant, Alohas - Move over

By

I think I'm not the only one when I say that I swore off ballerinas when I was fourteen. That phase was over. But now, thirteen years later, I can buy a new pair every week. The buckle flats from Ganni are a favorite – I almost dare not say it out loud, but I even have them in two colors. Via Vinted, that much is true.

If you're like me and not a star at saving...

The pair I keep dreaming about? The ones from Alaïa. What beauties. Every time a new collection comes out, I hesitate again: what should I save for now? Studs? Mesh? Brown? Red? And you already know: not much comes of saving, because there’s always something nice that I natural also really need.

Fortunately, our friends at Sacha Shoes completely understand. They have various models in the collection that are almost a copy-paste of the designer brands.

And not only the Alaïa lookalikes can be found there. You’ve probably seen a pair pop up on Instagram or TikTok: also inspired by Birkenstock, Prada, Isabel Marant, Gucci, Alohas, Chanel – you name it.

The buckle heels for your office day you can now just score at Sacha, your Birkenstock-style sandals to get through the weekend, and the cutest fringe boots for that next festival. Or, let’s be honest, just because you feel like it on a Tuesday afternoon.

My favorites at the moment

These are my favorite models, in case you need a new pair.
