I Nearly Spent $820 on Kendall Jenner's Flats—Then I Found This $120 Alt at Nordstrom
While I don't have the privilege of knowing Kendall Jenner personally, one striking quality stands out: her loyalty to fashion brands. Although we often see her wearing pieces by Phoebe Philo, Bottega Veneta, and Khaite, her go-to brand for the past few years has been The Row. It seems like not a day goes by without spotting her in this quiet luxury label. A perfect example is her most recent outfit.
Yesterday, the model and entrepreneur grabbed dinner L.A. with Hailey Bieber and a friend wearing a bold red coat and black pants complemented by chic ballet flats from The Row, which Bieber also wore this week. While those stylish shoes come with a hefty price tag of $820—a splurge—they're not the only option.

After digging, I found a fabulous alternative that won't break the bank. Enter the vegan-leather Dancerina Flats by Jeffrey Campbell. Priced at just $120, these best sellers offer the same sleek style without the luxury price tag.
With their timeless appeal and celebrity stamp of approval, they're guaranteed to fly off the shelves. Keep scrolling to shop Jeffrey Campbell's shoes at Nordstrom and similar styles to wear throughout 2025.
