Mouse Flats by Me

Last summer, I was in Kingston and found a pair of mouse flats by world famous fashion designer, Marc Jacobs.  I made the mistake of trying them on.  I fell in love with them of course but, not with the $300 price tag.

After pining away over these shoes, I finally had the thought – duh! – you make everything else, why not try and make these shoes yourself?  So I did and this is the result .  They may not be an exact replica of the designer original but, I am happy with how they turned out and think they are still pretty cute. They cost me $15 at the most to make and the real thing retails anywhere from $195 to $325 dpending on thefabric, hardware etc chosen.

 Now, even though I’ve created my own version, the question still remains – would I still love to own and wear a genuine, for realpairof Mr. Jacob’s mouse flats?  The answer is – hell ya!
