EVER walked into TK Maxx and found items from some of the globe’s most luxurious fashion houses reduced to peanuts? Us neither.
But one shopper struck gold when she stumbled on a pair of Bottega Veneta Chelsea boots that were slashed by over £1,000 in the TK Maxx sale.
Tia Clari said she simply walked into one of the off-price retailer’s stores saw the luxury boots sitting there.
“Lucky girl walks into TK Maxx,” she penned on TikTok, adding that her “lucky girl syndrome is in full swing”.
The Bottega Veneta Black ‘the Lean’ Mid-calf Chelsea Boots retail at £1,195 and are from the Italian fashion house’s AW20 collection.
That means they were gracing the runway as the ultimate boot for an autumn that ended up being struck into lockdown due to coronavirus.
And seeing as we were locked down for the season, the shoes deserve their time to shine in 2024.
The boots were slashed to just £65, meaning Tia saved an eye-watering £1,130.
As the shoes had a red sticker label on them, it means they were on final reduction at the off-price retailer.
“Bottega Veneta’s ankle boots were styled with so many looks on the Fall ’20 runway, so you can expect them to go with a lot of outfits you already own,” style experts at ModeSens said.
“Channelling a subtle Western vibe, they’ve been crafted in Italy from supple black leather and have elasticated panels at the sides.
“The curved 45mm block heel makes them comfortable to walk in, while the pull tabs ensure they go on and off with ease.”
The heel measures at around two inches high and the boots are pull-on.
Deborah Pez took to the comment section of Tia’s video to share a similar anecdote.
She found an Hermès scarf in the Coventry TK Maxx for just £55.
The French luxury designer’s silk staffs typically retail for around £450, meaning Deborah saved herself just shy of £400.
Tia was dubbed a “lucky girl” by other commenters, with one saying “TK Maxx really does have gems if you look hard enough”.
“I need to know which TKMaxx you go to find all the designer stuff,” Beth Tails moaned.
“Mine is just filled with rubbish.”
