Still searching for Crown Vintage shoes?

Buy them here.

Don't know who owns the trademark? It's DSW.

The Jeffrey Campbell connection is just a guess. Read the older posts and decide for yourself.

If you're looking for Crown Vintage shoes & can't find them anywhere else, try DSW.com.

They've only got one style on their web site now (pictured above), but that's better than the whole-lot-of-nothing I was finding a few months ago.

I've used the web site & it was great - really easy & fast.

I know they aren't identical - but I found these shoes on lorisshoes.com & they are very similar.

There are some styles that are identical - Jeffrey Campbell's may be made of nicer materials - but http://davidzinc.stores.yahoo.net/jcmaude-blk.html has Jeffrey Campbell Maudes in black - they look just like my Crown Vintage pair - even the lining is the same lavendar color.

The Maudes are pictured below (in the previous post).

Jeffrey Campbell is Crown Vintage??

I suspect that the Crown Vintage shoes I found at DSW & could not find online are actually made by Spanish shoe company/designer Jeffrey Campbell.

This, after long, obsessive hours searching the internet & eBay, is based on at least two pairs of shoes which look nearly identical but aren't.

The picture I've attached to this post, I found on eBay after buying a pair of Crown Vintage shoes for $21 @ DSW on sale which look just like them.

Hmmm... I emailed DSW & they said they don't keep track of what they sell & asked if I'd googled it. I had. All I found were other stories of women in the same predicament.

I think Jeffrey Campbell may be making cheaper shoes in China ('made in China' is stamped on the shoes I bought) & not linking it to their name. DSW is perfect for this because they don't appear to care whose shoes they're selling anyway.

So, if you're wondering why you can't find Crown Vintage shoes anywhere, try eBay, then try Jeffrey Campbell (Nordstrom or smaller online stores like Lori's Shoes of Chicago, etc). The price is only marginally higher & the quality is better.
