"Sex and the City” merchandise we actually like

"Sex and the City" foldable flats

"Sex and the City" foldable flats

There's no doubt about it, TV and movie themed merchandise are usually pretty lame. For years HBO has maintained an online store where they've been making money off items like "True Blood" drinks and shot glasses. Up till now, the "Sex and the City" shop has been filled with martini glasses with the fictional characters names on them ($14.99 each), and memorabilia with cheesy fashion-related quotes we don’t even remember Carrie Bradshaw saying i.e. the “I’m not afraid of heights. Have you seen my shoes?” tote bag ($19.99) and the “Fashion is my cardio” mug ($12.99). They're also inexplicably selling copies of “He’s Just Not That Into You,” along with the movie soundtrack, and keychains with the word “Love” in script. Ugh.

But today we found out about these awesome ballet flats! How cute are they?! Sure they only say "Sex and the City" on the inside of the shoe, but they more appropriately honor the show (Hello! Fashion!) than a stupid mug. The shoes will be available in mid-November at HBO's online store for $65 a pair. We know Carrie Bradshaw loves her stilettos, but we'll be much more comfortable wearing these to the "Sex and the City 2" premiere. [Seventeen]

    $65.00 ballet flats with SATC on the inside? I think I'll pass on this.

    Much better option than the silly mugs or tote bags, but ouch! $65 for ballet flats? Can't justify it...

    $65 is not a lot of money for a pair of shoes

    Nooo, thank you.

    My sweet Grama-ma had some slippers she wore for nighty night. They're cute, but not my likes.
