Mother rakes in £70,000-a-year from her home by selling cut price Louboutins to celebrity fans

A mother has revealed how her passion for designer Louboutin heels turned into a £70,000-a-year business, and she only has to work two hours a day.

Charlotte Jones, 30, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, fell in love with the famous shoe brand - loved by celebrities including Kate Moss and Beyonce, when her partner bought her a pair as a gift.

Charlotte, who is mother to daughters Anyssa, seven, Briseis, three months, and stepmother to stepson Jack, 11, wore the heels into the ground during a holiday to Ibiza three years ago, and realised they were so battered she needed a new pair.

But she didn't want to pay the hefty £800 price tag for new ones and was worried getting them from eBay would mean she ended up with fakes.

So she resolved to set up her own online shoe salon last year, specialising in unworn and unwanted Loubs at a fraction of the cost.

Charlotte now runs her own brand Love Luxe from her home and makes more money than her partner Dael Baxter, 33, an internet marketer who works full time. 

Love Luxe is a resale site meaning that private sellers contact Charlotte and offer her unwanted and often unworn gifts which she then purchases and sells on for a profit. 

She sells an array of designer shoes from £120 for a pre-owned pair of Louboutins to £495 for brand new pair. Customers can also scoop a pair of less high end shoes for as little as £10.
