When Marc Jacobs came out with his version of the pert, plastic shoes known as “jellies” a few years back, I thought- leave it to him to take something that began as “cheap” and make it “chic” ( remember when he did the same thing with grunge fashion back in the early 90’s )- I loved the kitsch factor, but wondered would these “staples” of the late 80’s ever really catch back on?
Ferragamo’s Profumo Jelly -Jewel Sandals $195
It seems the answer is YES!-as everyone from Chanel to Target has a jelly to offer this summer. And with prices ranging from a very retro $7.99 to an astonishing $295.00, the level you want to embrace this trend is up to you.
Best part- it’s sure to be the only summer you’ll ever consider running through the sprinkler in Gucci flats!
the many flavors of jellies: Chanel $295, Gucci $150, Marc Jacobs $160, Xhilaration $7.99, Fendi $175 and Givenchy $165
Will you have a future in plastics?

My favorite are the Target black thong jellies. Doesn’t seem fair to charge $295 for the same plastic as an $8.00 pair.
