Woman turns £4 Asda sliders into £300 Gucci dupes with one piece of fabric

As we creep closer to summer and the weather starts to get warmer, many of us will be breaking out the summer wardrobe - including flip-flops, sandals, and sliders to help keep our feet cool.

And while sliders have been in fashion for a few years now, there's a big difference between showing off your high-fashion Gucci designs and rocking a cheap pair from the high street that will likely fall apart before next summer.

However, if you want the look of the stylish Gucci shoes that are priced at a staggering £290 without the hefty price tag, one woman on TikTok has revealed exactly how you can transform discount sliders into designer dupes.

Leanne, who owns an online shop named Belle's Bonnie Boutique, bought basic black sliders for just £4 from Asda, and then simply used fabric and glue to make them mimic the Gucci versions, which are almost 73 times more expensive.

The mum, who posts on TikTok under the username @bellesbonniefabric, used a Gucci dupe fabric print that she sells through her business for £2.50, and glued it to the band of the sliders using Gorilla Glue to make sure it won't be budging any time soon.

She then wrote on her video: "Just me turning £4 Asda sliders and £2.50 fabric into £300 sliders.

"It was so easy anyone could make them."

The Asda sliders and the fabric cost Leanne a total of £6.50 - meaning that for the cost of one £290 pair of Gucci sliders, she could make 44 pairs of her dupes and still have some change to spare.

Commenters on the video were blown away by how good the end result looked, with many of them stating they'll be placing an order with Leanne for the fabric so they can try it themselves.

One person said: "I'm so doing this!"

While another added: "I love these."

Leanne isn't the only person to have saved money on shoes by making dupes, as we previously revealed how one woman transformed her Primark heels into fake Louboutins with paint.

Jordan-Leigh Morris took an old pair of nude coloured heels and applied a generous coating of Angelus red acrylic leather paint from Amazon to the soles - turning her cheap shoes into stylish red bottoms.

The woman admitted she is "obsessed" with how well the red paint turned out, as someone pointed out she's saved herself at least £525 thanks to her savvy skills.
