You'll Blend in With French Women in These $56 Mango Shoes

As I was mindlessly scrolling through Mango's new arrivals section, one pair of shoes stood out to me. A few years ago, I shelled out over $500 for Mary Janes from the beloved French brand Carel, and now I'm supremely jealous to learn that Mango is offering a strikingly similar pair for just $56 (when you use the code SALE30). Even still, I don't regret my original purchase, as I'm obsessed with my Carel shoes and recently wore them to the Hermès show in Los Angeles.

My favorite French style icons, such as Anne-Laure Mais, are fans of Carel and wear the Paris-based brand all the time. Mais recently 'grammed the Carel Peche Black Patent Leather Mary Janes ($530), while Olivia Rodrigo owns the Kina Black Patent Mary Janes ($605). Yes, I know Rodrigo's not French, but she did wear the shoes in Paris, proving that they look right at home in the City of Light. Mango's new shoes are a worthy alternative to get a similar look on a smaller budget. Scroll down to buy them before they sell out.
