If you’ve been on social media the past few years, you have noticed the highly Instagrammable Mach and Mach bow-tie glittering shoes. The designs are reminiscent of shoes you hear about in fairytales. Furthermore, with their crystal embellished double bow, accompanied by an equally embellished double wrapped ankle strap, these shoes have become a viral sensation.
Mach and Mach was founded by two sisters Nina and Gvantsa Macharashvili. These two sisters sought out to create out a sparkly brand that rivaled the Cinderella shoe. Describing their aesthetic as ‘bright, futuristic, pop’, the shoe couldn’t come at a better time. The fashion world had been embracing a masculine, androgynous look. The sexy, feminine shoe was the ultimate counterpoint. The brand gained international attention after their footwear debut at Paris Fashion Week in 2020. They became the it party shoe – fun, feminine and confident.
The signature shoe is a pointy toe heel embellished with a thin bow dripping in crystals. Coming in soft and bold pastel shades, the signature shoe has donned the feet of Kylie Jenner to Katy Perry. Given the tremendous success of the first launch, the later creations have only deviated slightly from the original. Later footwear seasons added a string of pearls to the embellished heel. Shiny mules entered the season. Available in a palette of suitably bold colors including, royal blue, yellow and pink, they are the ultimate party shoe.
The square toe sandals is a later addition to the brand. Still retaining its overall feminine feature, the square toe sandal was a bold take on the pointy toe heel. Retaining the crystal-encrusted oversized bow, the shoes lose the ankle strap. The sandals were on trend with the coveted slip on sandal.
As you can imagine with their newfound cult status, these heels are not cheap. The classic double crystal bow heel retails for well over $1000. Yes, these shoes are utterly beautiful, but that’s a lot to pony up. Enter: Mach and Mach dupes. To be honest, these Mach and Mach dupes retain the overall beauty of the original designer. I’ve stated this before with other dupes, but it is best to try out the trend before splurging on the original. It is best to see if it goes with your overall aesthetic and if this is a shoe you can rock. I don’t doubt given how gorgeous these heels are, you can rock these.
