Big W customers are desperate to get their hands on the $10 ballet flats after one observant shopper noticed they looked exactly the same as a $1,150 pair.
Big W’s $10 Mesh Ballet Flats are a striking resemblance to luxury brand Alaia’s Fishnet Ballet Flats, which went viral across Europe this summer.
Brisbane mother and stylist Sarah Strozkiy was so impressed with the recently launched shoes that she posted a video raving about them to her 90,000 Instagram followers.
“Given the current economic situation, I like to create budget-friendly looks that give me a boost,” she said.
“$10 from Big W is more than enough to fill my soul as a chic fashion lover,” Sarah said.
She loved the style and comfort of the easy-to-wear shoes, which effortlessly enhanced any look.
Women were completely in love with this fashion find and described it as fantastic. They couldn’t wait to own their own.
“So cute,” said one woman.

Some fans said that more expensive copies of the viral mesh ballerinas from Sportsgirl or Decjuba – which retail for $60-$70 – are of much better quality.
But Sarah stressed that for many women who are struggling financially and still want to feel ‘cute’, spending more isn’t always an option.
Fashionistas who remember the mesh ballerinas of 15 years ago were divided over the trend’s revival.
“Not this again,” said a woman.

‘I like them! S**ff the trends. Wear what you like. Life is too short,’ said another woman.
Sarah had a lot of positive reviews for Big W’s classic Mary Jane ballet flats, which also retail for $10, calling them a great buy for those who aren’t into the trendy mesh look.
She thought the Big W Mary Janes were a great imitation of the popular Tony Bianco Bambi Venice Flats, which retail for $179.95
‘Big W is so underrated! I’m the worst indecisive clothes shopper but I always find something there and walk out happy,’ said one woman.
