A great pair of ankle boots are the perfect transitional footwear and we've fallen in love with this Manolo Blahnik pair debuted at Meadham Kirchhoff's London Fashion Week show.

Unfortunately you'll not only have to be rich but very lucky to get your hands on the cute embroided boots. They cost £7,000 and have now been branded too expensive to even make.

Grazia.com reports that the boots are so complicated to make that the price doesn't justify the time spent making them.

Ben Kirchhoff told Grazia: ""We can't sell them. Even though we know we can sell them. The buyers at Maria Luisa in Paris and Joseph in London knew they would have some customers who would want to buy them, but they are just so complicated to make that we can't justify the time even at that price."

So we wonder who will be the first, and maybe even last to wear the boots.
