does anybody know where to buy Thierry Rabotin shoes in Manhattan, or nearby?

Gekko

No, not off-hand. But you can get 'em from eggellershoes.com

Elizabeth

Thanks Gekko -- I did see them on that site -- but I still hope to find a place to go try them on in person.

I'd email or call the company and find out if they have any stores in NYC or if any stores carry the line.

Good luck.

Elizabeth

thank Wendyj I'll look there tomorrow. Once more to the top for this in case anbody else knows - I am testing this resource!!

After some serious Googling, I found this, I think the best way to find his shoes is check with the most expensive stores and ask them. I know there is a place in Washington and Dallas.


Thierry Rabotin, who designs his own signature line and Taryn Rose shoes in Parabiago, Milan, Italy, takes a philosophical approach.

The smile a woman gets in comfortable shoes is sexy, he said, during a recent visit to show his designs at Hanig's Footwear, 660 N. Michigan.

Taryn Rose is available in Ny. I see them advertised in the times at a few places and we have them here in Boston. thierry Rabotin I don't know but I wear Labotin that are hand made bought at Barney's

Elizabeth

Thanks to all who replied. I asked the guys in Saks and they didn't know tho had some ideas of where to check, which I'll do.

Now it's a mission (started on behalf of a friend who saw them on somebody & didn't ask where she got them - now I "need" some myself),

Elizabeth, I love them! I don't wear very high heels. I found twelve models here.

www.eggellershoes.com

I need to know if they run true to size before ordering. Could you ask your friend?

Elizabeth

Cigalechanta - I like the pictures too - but neither of us (me, friend) has yet found any here to try on. But given your interest -- I'll post if I find a place!! (can it be that something is not available in New York? time to start shopping in Detroit or something?)

cigalechanta

I emailed them for more info. The google says he's swiss and designs in Italy but the loafer with the bit is the only pair that reads made in Italy.

Today's Times in the business section has an article on Taryn Rose.

Elizabeth. The flats run small and the higher heels I ordered run true tto size.

update:

thanks Wendyj, I did find a few at the address of the Kerquelen shop, now another shop. They say they'll have Taryn Rose in future but not Thierry Rabotin so we are still without a known supplier in New York.

I tried some on and they were very nice though I didn't find what I wanted in my size. Actually more than very nice, really beautiful & different from anything else in either the comfort or glamour category.

Cigelachanta, did you order & get these shoes after these postings started, or were you buying them anyhow?
