Louboutin Yoyo Sling



These Yoyo sling's are another example of an unbelievable transformation & a great example of how you can save a fortune without compromising on luxury or style... particularly effective when planning your wedding budget! These were worn once only for someones wedding day. Some people may question how you could 'ruin' a pair of shoes in just one day & of all days on your wedding day! I can confirm from personal experience that this is possible! After spending around £500 on my first pair of designer shoes for my big day, I was mortified to say the least when I discovered all the scuffs. These were finished in silver leather so I dread to think what they would have looked like if they were satin or suede. Its also worth pointing out that the leather used in designer shoes is much better quality & tends to be much softer, meaning unfortunately it will scuff & mark easier. Back to the Yoyo's!... You can see from the picture that despite being worn only once these Louboutins took a big hit & consequently became soiled mainly with general dirt from walking outdoors during photo shoots & lots of trampling across the dance floor! The original owner was unable to clean the satin... & another point to make is you should never really try to tackle stains to satin yourself unless you truly know what you are doing as satin can easily become stained with water marks. I professionally cleaned both the interior & exterior of the shoes & part of the inner heel required a slight red touch up from where it had acquired a slight scuff. I'm sure you'll agree from the photo that after the deep clean these shoes were once again 'Wedding Perfect'! Despite this I took it one stage further & strassed them in clear crystal... taking them to a whole new level. To buy a style like this new direct from the designer would cost you around the 2k mark, to buy from myself at refurbished costs would set you back around £400!!!! So you can see the massive saving! If you had your own shoes to begin with costs would be less again!!! *Based upon the style listed.
