However, as sought-after as they might be, the brand slippers are priced at a whopping £290 – which is not an affordable option for most, especially as Brits face £1,000 fall in income.
Luckily, one savvy fashionista has revealed how she transformed a pair of £4 Asda slippers into these designer dupes using just some piece of fabric and a bit of glue, The Mirror wrote.
In a clip, which has been viewed by more than 34,000 people on TikTok, Leanne (@bellesbonniefabric) shared the simple steps.
