Nice. It's a shame that the forum seems to have fallen out of love with Vass.

No, quite the opposite. Vass makes incredible shoes and these are stunning. My circumstances have unfortunately changed, I am now working construction and haven' had the chance to wear them. I know they will now just sit in my wardrobe collecting dust for at least another year or two unless they find a happy new home.

I don't believe it has. The problem is everyone wants bargains at ridiculous prices. Thus the Vass shoes listed on B&S aren't moving.

Lovely shoes. I'm planning to commission something similar next year. To bad these aren't my size, may have considered them otherwise.

Perhaps. I have about seven pairs of Vass, the last pair was bought maybe 2-3 years ago. So I'm a big Vass fan, but I do see Vass languishing in the B&S quite often. Perhaps it's just my misconception. Apologies to the OP, your shoes are extremely nice and IMHO priced well; good luck with the sale.

I think Vass languish in B&S because people aren't familiar with the sizing and lasts and don't have much in the way of opportunity to try them on in person, plus on B&S unlike a store it's not really possible to send stuff back and say "not my size, oh well".

Exactly! People are looking for bargains or better gifts... One member wanted me to sell brand new shoes from Vass for about 250 Usd... Strange!
