Dolce Vita: Double Check The Retail Price

With so many F&F sales happening right now, it's easy to just look at the percentage discount being offered and not perform the calculation for the actual price after discount.  While this is a useful rule of thumb, I've noticed that it doesn't really work for Dolce Vita.  For some unknown reason, the retail price of Dolce Vita's shoes vary from store to store.

Take the Ivory Sandal for example.  Here are three websites and three different retail prices:

• Piperlime.com:  $125
• MartinAndOsa.com:  $130
• After an automatic 30% discount, the sale price is $91.  This sale ends today, 4/25/10.
• ShopDolceVita.com:  $119
• After an automatic 25% discount, the sale price is $89.25.  This sale ends 04/29/10 (thurs).

Even though MartinandOsa.com has the best discount at 30% off, ShopDolceVita.com is the better deal at 25% off because the retail price is $119 while the retail price is $130 at MartinAndOsa.com.  So don't forget to do a price check when purchasing your next pair of Dolce Vita shoes!
