BLUE/BLACK STRIPE HERVE LEGER STRAPLESS
A simple pair of heels is proving a stunning success story amid the doom and gloom of the High Street.
Shoe shopping has long been an emotional crutch for women - and thanks to the Barbie-bright courts, buyers are flocking to the store, with some buying several pairs at a time.The patent heels have proved so popular, that they are being resold on eBay for up to £22.
The store reported that the fuchsia court had become its biggest ever seller after celebrities including Victoria Beckham and Lady Gaga were photographed wearing similar styles, inspiring shoppers to follow suit and tap into the trend.However, unlike the £9 version, the celebrities had been wearing designer labels, costing upwards of £300 by the likes of Christian Louboutin.Helen Penney of Primark attributed the sales to the shoe's simple shape: 'They're a very classic court and a nice quality,' she said.
