As a woman, I have a love affair between shoes ~ and bags. I still have to think about what weighs more in my heart. Although logic should easily tell us you wear your shoes wherever you go, but a bag is something you can leave sitting on a chair or desk. So yes, shoes will always be a practical option. Just ask Madam Imelda Marcos 😀
Being a shoe lover, I was quite thrilled when the company behind VNC shoes (through their publicist First Tier) invited women-bloggers to view their latest collection. I haven’t been attending blog events lately, but this was one I couldn’t resist. VNC is one of my favorite brands. In fact, my preferred pair these days is this VNC strappy sandals I bought for a little more than P1K at a recent sale in MOA.
The predominant shoe color in my closet is black, but a review of VNC’s spring-summer collection shows that bright colors are “in.” And yes, they do have bags too!
Love the Chanel-style pink bag in the background. The average price for their items are between one thousand to two thousand pesos ($30 to $50) but what’s good is they always have sales and promotions. The last we saw was “Buy two items and get the third at 50% discount” – definitely an open invitation to commit shoetunny (the counterpart of gluttony) – if there ever was such a thing.
VNC designs are funky and cool, with catchy details like the buttons on these wedge sandals. They’ve got the most lovable flats too.
It’s a pity. The mainstream shoe market in the Philippines is being flooded by cheaper, more fashionable counterparts from Asian neighbors. VNC is a franchise of Malaysia’s leading shoe brand, Vincci. Their presence here (since 2003 yet!) ensures that we don’t have to fly all the way to KL to buy those must-have fashion for our feet.
VNC branches are located in Robinsons Galleria, Glorietta III, Robinsons Manila, SM Mall of Asia, SM Megamall, TriNoma, Alabang Town Center, Shangri-La Plaza Mall and soon to open in Eastwood Mall this month.
it’s so worth buying shoes from VNC since it lasts for so long and it’s very comfy too. My mom bought a pair of slippers from VNC/Vincci in KL, its only 400 pesos there but 900++ here. tsk tsk.
Hmm, the shoes ARE attractive. Are you saying there are more attractive, cheaper options in Manila, though?
Gonna be difficult for VNC to compete long-term, if that’s the case. Depends how determined the alternative suppliers are, and how committed to the long haul.
😀
This will be my first time to try out the brand and with all the good reviews I’m hearing in terms of its durability, I’m now expecting that mine will last longer than I initially thought it would. We’ll just wait and see. 😉 Hey, where’s the photo of the new VNC pair you bought? 🙂
Yes, it seems I forgot to take a picture. I wore it yesterday though. Size 8 is a bit tight for me. Wish they carried half sizes…….aaargh 😀
I love love LOVE VNC… but to my horror the stores have been closed in Bangalore, India and i am totally lost coz there are no stores like VNC from whr i can pick up lovely shoes for that price.. I tried charles and keith in bombay but they dont have an outlet here .. anyone has any ideas?
