No, unfortunately that is not my salary…

According to Bloomberg.com, Topshop (which opens in soho today) says it sells 40,000 pairs of shoes a week, and has more than 300 stores in the U.K. and 125 outlets in regions ranging from Scandinavia to the Middle East.

Excuse me? 40,000 pairs of shoes a week? 40,000? No wonder they’re setting up shop here! Paging all NY-based Carrie Bradshaws! Come on girls, we can certainly out do 40,000 pairs of shoes a week – even in a recession!

The store is also said to have 32 dressing rooms, which doesn’t sound like very many to me, but I suppose well just have to see how they hold up during today’s stampede.

Planning to visit the store today? Let me know what you think! Xx
