I nabbed a pair of Louboutin heels for a fraction of their £1k price – my tip works for anyone and couldn’t be easier

LOUBOUTIN heels are the shoe most women dream about owning.

However, Christian Louboutin’s hefty price tag means owning a pair is usually out of reach for most of us.

But one woman showed how to bag them at a fraction of the price, and revealed her top tips on her TikTok account, Who Is Jillea.

Jillea, who lives in Canada, is obsessed with all things fashion and showed users how to get authentic Louboutin heels on a budget.

Her first tip is to look for damaged pairs in stores that you can get a discount on as she shows a pair of orange sued ones she purchased.

She said: “I got these at a consignment store and they had sun damage so they were $99 (£78) on final clearance.”

Instead of letting the beat up shoes go, Jillea decided to buy them and restore the shoes to make them look brand new again.

She first tapped over the shoes famous red sole and inside to make sure they didn’t get damaged in the process of dying them.

Then she used a lint roller to remove any access suede or dust stuck to the shoe.

Jillea took a small paint brush and sued fabric dye in black and began painting over the shoe, working in small sections.

Using a clean towel she rubs the shoes after each layer of dye, which she did three times to get an opaque black finish.

To finish, Jillea uses a weather proof spray on the shoes to make sure the suede lasts longer and doesn’t get damaged.

The shoes look brand new compared to how Jillea first bought them.

The video has since gone viral with almost 150k views and over 30k ‘likes’.

She said: “As you can tell you can’t see these used to be orange, they look brand new.”

In total, the entire transformation cost Jillea just £95 ($120), and that included the shoes.

Users were blown away by her creative transformation, one wrote: “Love me a budget friendly queen!”

“Nice, Thanks girl for sharing.” commented another viewer.

A third said: “So smart!”
