Shared by Kuwait Inside on Instagram, the ‘trendy sandals’ in various colours were on display at an undisclosed luxurious clothing boutique in Saudi Arabia, before the staff pulled out 1 in white and blue to show them off to the camera.

As the staff, who was wearing black gloves to protect the footwear, carefully pulled out the sandals, their price tag became visible, revealing the SAR4,590 price or approximately RM5,700. 

The staff then carefully showed off the delicate design and features of the footwear, including the texture of the soles, the flexibility and more.
