Autumn shoes and handbags

 

Imitation of Marni, 560 yuan

By Annie Wei

When Beijing is sunny, yet it’s dry and comfortable to walk around, you know the end of summer is near. For stores, that means the return of fur boots and dark leather bags.

Stores have begun stocking their fall collections. Comfoot Shoes, a small store on the first floor of a residential building 20 meters north of The Place, has established a reputation for carrying international brands and high-quality imitations.

One can find brands like Miu Miu, Gucci, Mickael Kors, Bebe and Jennifer Modo here, and imitation Chloes, Bottega Veneta and Mulberry handbags at prices from 200 yuan to more than 1,000 yuan. Compared to other stores that claim (however dubiously) their products are directly from the factories, Comfoot’s shoes and handbags do seem to have better stitching and a better look. Many styles have only one pair in limited sizes.

The good news is 300 to 400 new items will arrive within the week.
