Very affordable dupes for the iconic Chanel ballet flats
Updated
The Chanel ballet flat is a classic silhouette – the quality leather, almond-shaped cap toe, dainty bow and two-toned colourway all make for an enduring fashion accessory. The recognisable shoe was first introduced in 1984 by Karl Lagerfeld in Chanel’s Spring/Summer ready-to-wear collection.
