While&nbsp;Matthieu Blazy&rsquo;s debut Spring/Summer 2026 Chanel collection is flying off the shelves, we&rsquo;ve curated a selection of chic pumps that deliver just the same allure.

When New Yorkers queue in 40-degree weather for $1,500 shoes and $14,000 handbags, you know the Matthieu-mania has officially kicked in. While Friday the 13th is commonly associated with ill fortune, some very lucky shoppers actually had the chance to snag <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chanel-new-creative-director-matthieu-blazy-details" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthieu Blazy</a>&rsquo;s debut <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/chanel-spring-summer-2026-collection-runway-images-matthieu-blazy-debut" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chanel Spring/Summer 2026</a> collection before anyone else&mdash;that is, of course, after patiently waiting in line outside one of the exclusive boutiques.&nbsp;
While the coveted collection conveniently landed in Parisian stores during <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/celebrities-at-paris-fashion-week-fall-winter-2026-models-actors-musicians-rose-hyunjin-" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fashion Week</a> (March 5, to be exact), the highly sought-after pieces finally made it to the United States a few days later and only at selected locations: New York&rsquo;s 57th Street flagship, Beverly Hills&rsquo; Rodeo Drive, and Miami&rsquo;s Bal Harbour. Bringing the anticipation among loyal shoppers and designer diehards to fever-pitch levels&mdash;a buzz that Chanel hasn&rsquo;t seen in quite some time&mdash;we are finally confirming that Blazy&rsquo;s success and acclaim extend just as powerfully off the runway as on it.

Editors, influencers, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-runway-models-to-follow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">models</a>, and buyers are now jostling shoulders with the brand&rsquo;s usual VICs (and VVICs) to secure the most-wanted goods before they sell out&mdash;some of them even settling for shoes a size too big or colorways they wouldn&rsquo;t normally choose, just to bring a piece of Blazy&rsquo;s universe home. A phenomenon worthy of one of Carrie and Samantha&rsquo;s brunch conversations in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-fashion-moments-from-sex-and-the-city-hbo-max-reboot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sex and the City</a>, fashion insiders have truly gone Coco for Chanel (pun intended).
The most-coveted items during this shopping frenzy? Jeans with the interlocking double C turn button, Charvet tuxedo shirts, maxi Flap bags, micro versions of the Bowling and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chanel-25-bag-details-price-sizes-shop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">25 bags</a>, and, above all: the shoes. From the highly sought-after black mint-tipped pumps to the popular double animal-print flats and the embossed croc slingbacks, everyone seems to be under the spell of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/who-is-matthieu-blazy-new-creative-director-bottega-veneta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthieu Blazy</a>&rsquo;s first take on footwear. Although prices range from $1,375 to $1,625, these pieces continue to sell out instantly, leaving shoppers disappointed and sales associates frazzled. Nevertheless, the shoes&rsquo; price tags seem almost tame next to the handbags, which sell for anywhere between $5,700 and $14,700.

But of course, the hype doesn&rsquo;t stop at the bustling boutiques. On TikTok and Instagram, influencers are flaunting their <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/chanel-fall-winter-2026-collection-runway-photos-see-all-the-looks-celebrities-vip-front-row-models" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chanel</a> purchases as hard-won victories, some even getting emotional as they recount the heroic journey it took to secure the goods. On these triumphant shopping hauls, many younger creators share how these mark their first Chanel purchases, and sometimes even their first full-price designer buys, reaffirming Blazy&rsquo;s now-unquestionable influence. Some even defend these indulgent purchases as future heirlooms to be passed down to their children. These posts, alongside polished unboxings, are only amplifying the buzz (and the waitlists) for his square-toe and pony-hair designs.
That being said, if you can&rsquo;t be bothered to stand in line outside designer stores or simply can't wait to drink Matthieu Blazy&rsquo;s Kool-Aid, we&rsquo;ve curated a selection of shoes that are nearly as chic as those Internet-breaking <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/who-is-bhavitha-mandava-chanel-indian-model-age-matthieu-blazy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chanel</a> styles. While these may not technically carry Blazy&rsquo;s genius, they&rsquo;re sure to spark a similar thrill&mdash;and thankfully, at a slightly friendlier price.

Can't stop thinking of Matthieu Blazy's two-toned slingbacks? Worry not, as Manolo Blahnik is here to deliver just the same level of chic. While Chanel&rsquo;s burgundy-and-green iteration had shoppers and buyers swooning, this pink leather alternative with burgundy trims brings a similarly joyful spirit to every step.
