In these hard times, everyone’s looking for high-end quality at mid-level prices. With said objective in mind, shoe retailer Via Spiga has hit the ground running, recently opening a boutique on Broadway and Broome just south of the frenzied retail strip and collaborating with Vena Cava’s Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai to produce a line of relatively affordable souliers. “One of the things that was really important to us was that the shoes be of the same price point as our brand,” said Buhai at last night’s launch. “So, the shoes are going to retail around $500, a little less expensive than some of the designer brands.” It’s not quite bargain basement; however, you can expect the same special detailing and exceptional craft that has made Vena Cava a downtown favorite. Try these on for size: a basic clog toughened up with the label’s signature triangle studs. “All the buyers are gravitating toward a lower price point,” added Buhai. “We’re trying to take those things that people are really responding to and run in that direction.”
