I did not know who Manolo was until the TV series Sex in the City made him the most popular must-have shoe name in New York. Almost like a shoe god for the city wear. There was even an episode discussing the character spending all her money in shoes she could have used for a loan on an apartment.

Here are his creations at the British Design Museum

...Thanks in part to Sex And The City Manolo Blahnik has become one of the handful of designers whose name is synonymous with their product. In his case it is his Christian name, because “Manolo” is now used as slang to describe very expensive, very beautiful shoes: even by the millions of people who have never actually seen a pair of Manolo Blahniks and could not dream of spending $300 or $400 to buy them....

I am quite sure Infanta Elena has some Manolos.

Don Jaime is a big fan of it and he even offered Dona Letizia a pair to use in her wedding day, so I am sure he must have offered some to his wife.

But :(, I'm not big fan of shoes, sandals and so on (to be honest I have to double check threads whenever you mention that accessory )...but I will look to find.

Regards,
mtbcm :)

Perhaps we should also start a thread on Royals in Christian Louboutin shoes. Lol. The Monegasque ladies seem quite fond of his creations. I must admit, the shoe threads are among my favourite on this forum.

Oh this is a great thread. :)

I'm sure Infanta Elena has a few pairs of Manolos. Here are some photos of her husband is coming out of a Manolo Blahnik store and yes he is carrying a bag. Most likely a gift for his wife!:)

It says he even has invested in it. I need to ask my husband to invest in Manolo Blahnik. Although I doubt it will go over well. :p

Jaime de Marichalar, Infanta Elena's husband, comes out of a Manolo Blahnik shop in which he has some invesments.

Jaime de Marichalar and his sister Ana are associates of Manolo's shop in Madrid that was inaugurated last year ... this way it is easy...how it is normal to see the women of the family with Loewe's purses, company of which Jaime is counselor and Laura Ponte image.
