Chanel Ballerinas

After owning my Chanel ballerina flats for 6 years, I thought it would be the right time to renew them. I have been in need of a new pair of basic ballerinas for a while now, but as Porselli no longer produce their patent leather ballerinas (I lie, they do but there is a 26 week waiting list), a new Chanel pair had to be my only trustworthy option. 

Although I owned my previous pair for so long, a lot of the wearing occurred in the initial 2 years of owning them and intermittently throughout the rest. But for some reason, in the recent summer, I found myself wearing them more than ever, which has unfortunately led to their demise. That is the thing with shoes, every wear is damaging.

 In hindsight, I probably should have taken more care with them, as I do with my new shoes now, but at the time I never thought of storing them properly after each wear (I now always store my shoes in their dust-bags so that the leather does not dry out). 

Although I do hope Porselli restock their patent ballerinas, I am excited by my indulgent purchase. I just hope that they last another 6 years!
