Not because jump boots are not useful and very stylish in their way, but because the best jump boots in the whole world can be purchased for the the mere $121, hundreds of American dollars below the inflated Chanel retail price.

Sadly, the Manolo he has not yet been able to make it to the Costume Institute for the show of the Coco Chanel clothes. Happily for us, the Manolo’s internet friend, the Barney’s Girl, she has!
