RED ALERT

Primark is selling gold-studded patent flats and they’re £554 CHEAPER than the Valentino version… but there’s a catch

The budget-friendly chain's latest footwear line is expected to fly off the shelves

PRIMARK is selling a pair of gold-studded patent flats – and they’re very similar to an eye-wateringly expensive designer pair.

The budget-friendly chain unveiled the on-trend shoe on .

The pointed pumps are red with a nude pink strap and come in at a purse-pleasing £11.

The stylish shoes appear to be a take on , which retail for £565.

The Sun Online has contacted Primark to find out if there are plans to stock them in the UK.

British customers took to the brand’s social media page to express their disappointment.

“Are these not in UK Primark stores???” queried one, while another added: “Why isn’t this available in the UK.”

“All the good items are never in the UK,” moaned another fan.

Eagle-eyed shoppers said they had spotted the shoes in Leeds and Cardiff, but in different colourways.

Some also commented on the likeness to the high-end brand, saying: “Very Valentino” and “Valentino forever.”

But this isn’t the first pair of shoes to send Primark shoppers into a frenzy.

In May, we reported on the label’s bow-adorned slip-ons that are very similar to a sell-out Prada pair.

Primark caused mayhem in March after unveiling a £4 Beauty and the Beast Chip purse, which quickly flew off the shelves.
