Nothing normally comes even close to a Christian Louboutin shoes as far as The Fashion Police are concerned, but when our undercover detective squad brought us images of Barratts ‘Thistle’ sandals, well, even we were surprised. Louboutin’s ‘Rosazissimno’ feather sandals were £400 when they first came out, but have since been reduced to £280 in the Net-a-Porter sale. The Barratts versions, meanwhile, are a mere £45, and now that the party season is over, we’re looking for any excuse to justify buying them…

UPDATE: Since we wrote this post, the Barratts shoes have been reduced to a mere £25 in the sale – bargain!
