I don’t remember the time I wasn’t in love with Chanel‘s Two-tone ballet flats, but after buying and wearing a pair of extremely inexpensive, knock offs from Ross Dress For Less I knew I wanted to upgrade to a higher class of knock offs (under $100 but still leather) or a used pair of good ones from Depop or another vintage clothing source and put it on my Wish List.

Here’s a few facts about the shoe:

1. Premier Date: Karl Lagerfeld premiered them in 1984.
2. Inspiration: “Chanel’s two-tone slingback pumps created in 1957. Influenced by her love of ballet, particularly the Ballets Russe.
3. Characteristics: “Comfort, elegance, and versatility”
4. Wish List: Quince “ Italian leather cap toe ballet flat, $79.90”; Anne Klein cap toe women’s Luci ballet flats, Macy’s, $53.72; Loft soft cap, toe ballet flats, black and white, $34.99; J. Crew women’s ballet flats with cab toe, $69.50; Amazon Modatope ballet flats, $49.99.
