My Anthropologie catalog arrived in the mail the other day and these adorable flats caught my eye. They retail for $98. Ouch. But if you’re willing to do a teensy-tiny bit of DIY you can have them for between $29-$43. I will show you how!
Exhibit A: Anthropologie Acorn Flats $98
A to Z TV
How to create knock-off version for $29.50:
Buy Target Merona flats for $25
Then buy acorn charms from Etsy for $4.50 (which includes the cost of shipping).
Stitch the acorns on with some mustard-colored thread and you are looking cute for less! Don’t know how to stitch them on? Ask a friend. Someone will help you. I promise.
Exhibit B: Anthropologie Leaf Trinket Flats $98
How to create knock-off version for $29 (or $16.50 if you’re blessed with small feet):
Oh Target how we love thee…and if you have teensy-tiny feet you’re going to love them even more. Half-off for all of you with child toes!
Once you’ve bought your flats, you’re going to want to buy your leaf charms. Here are some from Wicked Good Beadz that you can have for $4 total for two charms including the cost of shipping.
Exhibit C: Anthropologie Beetle Flats $98
How to create knock-off version for $43:
Are you sensing a theme yet?
Then hop on over to Amazon.com and buy two of these guys for $18.
Exhibit D: Anthropologie Feather Flats $98
How to create knock-off version for $29.20:
Okay, so these aren’t exactly navy, but isn’t black more practical anyhow?
Then buy these Etsy charms for $4.20 (includes shipping cost).
No go forth and have cute feet for less!

Great idea! I love the colors for fall, you could use vintage earrings too for your own look! I have come across leaves quite a bit in my treasure hunting as well as small scatter pin brooches. You could even do a complementary design without them being exactly the same. Oh so many Ideas!!
I love these much more economical ideas – especially with something more trendy. Thanks!
LOVE these tips, thank you!!!
You are amazing! I shall go forth and create a pair for myself! I love Anthro but I love saving money!!
Thanks for the great knock off idea! I love flats and the embellishments will be so much fun!
Fabulous! What a great way to get the look for less!

Ok—you are a genius!!!! I just looked at my anthro catalog and decided I HAD to have some of these flats…I decided maybe I could buy one pair, now I can make ALL of them! You are amazing!!!! Thank you!!!!
You are clever and so resourceful!! Brilliant~!
Cool! I love copying Antro for less. I’d love to give this a try.
Warmly, Michelle
Beth these are so cute (and SO much cheaper)! Love it!
Beth! Fabulous idea! I hate paying big money for shoes because mine always end up sweaty & smelly after a time and I just want to throw them away! Have a wonderful weekend! Angie xo
nice! this is great. I love Anthro…and hate their prices
Beth, So cute. Can you please show the finished products?
I haven’t actually done any of these. Just wanted to show how others can get the look for less :).
I just saw these in the store yesterday and thought they would be a great diy too! Target also has those Odell Flats every year in multiple colors that are $12.00. You could also get clip on vintage earrings from a thrift store and change them out. So cute!
This is so clever and CUTE! Thanks for all the links. 🙂
