These £19 alternatives to Alaïa’s £650 braided mesh ballet flats are flying off shelves


Mesh ballet flats are trending this spring, but if you don’t want to splurge on Alaia’s iconic £650 pair you’re in luck because we’ve just found the perfect £19 alternative

Plenty of our favourite high street brands have been bringing out their own versions, but one ultra-affordable pair that’s caught our eye is Simply Be’s Angelina Mesh Ballerina Shoes, £19 here. The mesh ballet flats have a Mary Jane style with a buckled strap over the arch (Image: Simply Be) If your feet are on the narrower side, there are plenty of other options out there that’ll give you the Alaia look for less. Mango’s Ballerinas with Mesh Bracelet, £49.99 here, swap the arch strap for an ankle one but are finished with a patent (faux) leather trim that’s similar to the luxury pair.
