Re: Pappagallo
I'd never heard of these shoes until I started college, and there was a store right next to the dorm. WOW! I loved the shoes, but they were SO expensive...$35 back when you could buy a good pair of leather shoes for $10 or $15. BUT...they had great sales, and with a 6.5 foot, I could buy one or two pairs.
When my mom died, I found a pair I guess I had bought for her on sale - a short of shaggy red velour with 1" heels and a rhinestone-studded buckle. Totally NOT my mother! But she kept them all these years. Too bad they're not my size.
There are several Pappagallo shops around the country. They're not a chain...I'm guessing they kept the name after the shoes quit being made.
