Jaclyn Shanfeld became a
fashion entrepreneur by accident. After
snapping off a heel while rushing to a bar mitzvah in Beverly Hills, she
hobbled into the local Fred Segal boutique and panic-bought a pair of
Yves Saint Laurents—that turned out to be too small. After a few hours
of podiatric torture, Shanfeld slumped in a chair to ponder her fate:
She’d just dropped $900 for designer shoes that didn’t fit. Return them?
Sorry, Segal didn’t take shoe returns. What about dropping them in a
consignment shop? “They’d sell them for $398 and take a 50 percent
commission,” Shanfeld scoffs, “which would have left me enough money to
buy lunch. It was a fiasco.”
