I remember falling in love with Chanel Espadrilles back in high school. It was the first time I’ve ever noticed a luxury brand and I was head over heels! I spent a bunch of years after that buying dupes and lookalikes to achieve that look. It wasn’t until my last birthday that I actually got them! it was a super generous gift from my family and I couldn’t be more thankful. If you ask my dad, he’d tell you I’m crazy for wanting ‘ridiculously overpriced shoes’ (his words not mine haha) but we’ve never seen eye to eye in that department. They are definitely the most beautiful shoes I have ever owned and I will always cherish them!
I’m usually a size 8 and I got a 38 and it fits true to size. It is DEFINITELY a snug fit when you first put them on and I was actually debating getting the bigger size but I did my research and almost everyone said that they stretch out a significant amount. For my own peace of mind, I still went to try on the bigger size but it still had the same snugness around the front of the foot and was too big around the heel area so it was for sure not the right size for me. I got mine at the Nordstrom at Westfield Valley Fair. I was pretty lucky that they had the color and size I wanted which is almost never the case. I’m sure buying it at a Chanel store is also a possibility but I don’t have any near me and had the convenience of having a Nordstrom that has them at the mall I always go to.
I added a couple style inspo pics down below just to give an idea what the shoes can go with but honestly they are so versatile that you can basically wear them with just about anything! Since I can’t add an exact link to the shoes, I linked a couple of dupes and Chanel inspired espadrilles and they are definitely more of an affordable price point.
So to answer my own question, they are undoubtedly worth it in my opinion!
