Can you believe these Oscar de la Renta Estiva Black Slingbacks are only $153 at Portero.com? Retail Value is $695! And no, they are not knock-offs or replicas, but the real deal. What’s the catch you ask? They are pre-owned. Yep, as in “used”. And if you think about it, all shoes are “used” once you wear them once. No wonder so many people buy shoes from online auctions.
Portero.com is an authenticated luxury market that carries high-end brands of handbags, fur, watches, art and more. Designer pre-owned shoes brands include Christian Louboutin, Sergio Rossi, Chanel, Rebecca Taylor, Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Salvatore Ferragamo, Prada and more!

The perks of being a celebrity include getting to wear designer fashions before they hits the market. Above is Keira Knightley wearing Chanel Studded Pumps at the Chanel fashion show during Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2009 earlier this year in Paris, France (source).
If you can’t wait for Chanel’s release of these hot pumps (and/or won’t be able to afford them), check out these near knock-offs with Steve Madden’s Mayana silver studded patent leather pumps, $149.95 directly from SteveMadden.com.

People reported that even though a lot of celebrities have been spotted wearing Chanel’s black and white-toed heel lately, the cap-toe style is hardly new. Coco Chanel designed the first pair of spectator two-toned heels back in 1957 after being inspired by men’s leisure shoes, making them 50 years old!
