When you think of Chanel, the Classic Flap and timeless appeal comes to mind. We’ve shared 10 reasons to own a Chanel Flap and have a comprehensive Chanel Classic Flap bag guide in the past. But another iconic piece from the brand is the Chanel Two-Tone Shoe, which was created in 1957 by Gabrielle Chanel. Mademoiselle Chanel had already made the little black dress, the tweed suit and the quilted shoulder bag, but with the addition of the Two-Tone Shoe, she ensured that every classic element your wardrobe needs is available at Chanel.
The Chanel Two-Tone Shoe is simple in its design, colors and style. While incredibly high stiletto heels have been the most popular fashion footwear of the past 20 years, Chanel is refocusing on the iconic Two-Tone Shoe. Originally dubbed “the new Cinderella slipper,” this shoe went global and quickly became the thing everyone wanted. The Two-Tone Shoe lures in so many because it can be worn with so many looks and can easily transitions from morning to night.
While the colors are classic, there were many things taken into account when Mademoiselle Chanel picked them. The beige lengthens the leg, while the black toe cap shortens the foot and keeps wear from showing. Today Karl Lagerfeld continues to reinvent this shoe and keep its sixty-year legacy alive. In 2015, Lagerfeld brought the shoe back in a big way and created a slingback sandal with revised dimensions, but retained the square heel. When asked about his love of this very shoe, Lagerfled said, “The slingback has become the most modern shoe and makes the legs look beautiful”.
It’s always intriguing to see how some of our favorite items are made, and Chanel has shared images of the creation of a Chanel Two-Tone Shoe. The shoe is available in goatskin with grosgrain and kid suede with grosgrain; both are $800 via Chanel.

Ugh. I want one now.
That’s amazing. I really love Chanel shoes.
Much like everything from Chanel, meh. Very meh.
looks like grandma shoes
But they say “Chanel” so everyone just eats them up. Take away that CC and it’s just another spectator shoe and not worth the $800 price tag. Chanel probably spends less $30 to make each pair. It’s sheer profit for the corporation and fantasy land for the buyer.
To see how these shoes are made helps to understand the price tag.
I think the price is actually quite reasonable for the brand and the work that goes into it!
This is something very interesting that is worth paying your extreme attention ,a very good chance to work for those people who want to use their free time so that they can make some extra money using their computers… I have been working on this for last two and half years and I am earning 60-90 dollar/ hour … In the past week I have earned 13,70 dollars for almost 20 hours sitting ….
Any special qualification, degree or skills is not necessary for this, just keyboard typing and a good working and reliable internet connection ….
Not any Time limitations to start work … You may do this work at any time when you willing to do it ….

Shouldn’t this have gone in talkshoes?
Exactly.
If my mother had these I’d def borrow them from time to time, but I don’t see myself buying these for myself.
I was amazed at how affordable this shoe is. All handmade Chanel for $800.00? I likey.
